Iqra Foundation is an educational institute dedicated towards enhancing and training members of the Muslim community. Founded in 2010 as the educational branch of Iqra Masjid, Iqra Foundation will cater to the educational needs of all kinds of Muslims in the New York City area, including children, university students, immigrants, home makers, and working adults. Iqra Foundation hopes to be the Iqra Masjid’s primary vehicle for imbuing strong Islamic education, fostering Islamic spiritual maturity, and enhancing the social status and communal relations of Muslims in this city. Recognizing that education is not something that just happens in schools, Iqra Foundation seeks to function as a supplemental educational institution to fill a significant educational need in the Muslim community.
