Everyone is welcome in Darul Arqam!
Darul Arqam Educational Trust was established in 1998 in order to provide crucial services for the Muslim community of Leicester. Although Leicester has a stronghold of Mosques, very few were accommodating women’s facilities or providing a family-friendly environment. Realising the importance of empowering each member of the Muslim household in Islam and the importance of them to form a holistic connection to their faith through educational and spiritual activities, Darul Arqam opened our doors to all! We remain as a vibrant, youth friendly and family focused centre of Islamic spiritual activities and education to this day our community spans around the globe, from our Hub in Humberstone, the heart of Leicester!
