❀ Our History
Zainab Center was established by Shaykh Ahmad Arshad and his wife, Aalimah Humera Ahmad in November 2003 as one of the first online institutions in America for women's Islamic Education. An organization grounded in the fundamental principles of Bir and Taqwa, Zainab Center has taken a modern pedagogical and methodological approach to our centuries-old sacred, traditional, classical Islamic Scholarship and Spirituality. In recent years, Zainab Center has expanded its educational programming to include brothers, youth and children. Most programs are conducted online, giving the additional benefit of learning from the comfort of our homes. Thousands have benefitted around the world from the quality instruction and Islamic (tarbiyah) provided by the qualified and dedicated teachers of Zainab Center.
