Institute Goals
{Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward.} (Al-Israa’, Ayah 9)
Allah (SWT) sent the Quran as guidance for all people, to lead them to happiness in this life and the next. It was revealed to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S) as a gift and an honor that will last until the end of time.
Allah (SWT) gave us the Sunnah as another gift that explains theQuran, and clarifies its teachings. Allah (SWT) says in his Book: {[This is] a Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind out of darknesses into the light by permission of their Lord – to the path of the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy} (Ibrahim, Ayah 1).
The Mecca Quran Institute was founded to be a place where our children can grow up with the Quran in their hearts, minds, and actions, in keeping with the teachings of our beloved Prophet (S) who said: “The best amongst you is the one who learns the Quran and teaches it.” [Bukhari]
Through Allah’s (SWT) blessings and favor, the Mecca Center Quran Institute has been established with many high-quality programs that serve the needs of every member of our community. By the Will of Allah (SWT) we pray that this institute will continue to develop and grow to be an ideal space for students to learn the Quran and come closer to Allah (SWT).

“Our children will grow and one day be upon, what parents had taught them when they were still young.”

It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad (S) said: “Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah, he will be credited with a good deed, and a good deed gets a ten-fold reward. I do not say that Alif-LamMim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Mim is a letter.” [At-Tirmidhi]
In this day and age, we live very busy lives. Between taking care of our families, going to work each day, and carrying out various responsibilities. Adults often have a difficult time connecting with the Quran as they should.
This program is designed to help busy working adults to make the Quran a priority and to have the Holy Book of Allah be a consistent and important part of their daily lives. The Prophet (S) is reported to have said: “He who does not memorize any part from the Qur’an he is like the ruined house.” [ALhakem, and Ahmed]
