From Two Mothers to a Global Classroom

Darul Nojoom Academy was founded by Rumaisa U. Abdullah and Aliah Um Noah, two dedicated Muslim mothers and educators who saw a need that kept being overlooked: a space where children could learn both Islamic values and academic skills—without compromise, pressure, or confusion.

What began as a small home-based school has grown into a full K–12 Islamic virtual academy, reaching families across the globe. The vision was simple: to make affordable, authentic Islamic education accessible to every home that wants to raise their children with clarity, structure, and love for the deen.

We didn’t just want to “start a school.” We wanted to solve a real problem that many Muslim parents face:

the feeling of having to choose between strong academics and strong faith. At Darul Nojoom, you don’t have to choose. You get both—delivered with motherly care, deep sincerity, and a commitment to Qur’an and Sunnah.

What makes Darul Nojoom special isn’t just our curriculum—it’s the community.

Parents have told us that Darul Nojoom gave them more than just worksheets and schedules. It gave them peace of mind, knowing their children are being raised with tarbiyyah, sincerity, and compassion—all rooted in the Book of Allah.

Growing Together, Alhamdulillah

From a handful of students to an international learning community, we’ve continued to grow—quietly but intentionally.

We’re now educating children from all over the world, creating a space where young Muslims feel seen, supported, and guided. Whether your child is just learning to recognize Arabic letters or preparing for college, they’ll be nurtured with structure, love, and sincere da’wah.

I love how Darul Nojom integrates both spiritual growth and personal development, ensuring that our children thrive in all aspects of their identity. We’re truly grateful for the balance and intentionality behind this program.”

    Umm A.

  • "This Islamic homeschool has been a true answer to my duʿāʾ. From the very beginning, I felt the warmth and sincerity behind every lesson. The curriculum isn’t just educational — it’s built with rahmah (mercy), tarbiyah (character building), and real love for children. My little one looks forward to learning each day, and I see him growing in his understanding of Allah, showing kindness to his siblings, and even reminding them to be kind. What touched me most is how the program respects the innocence and softness of young children. There’s a beautiful balance between fun, Islamic identity, and gentle structure. The support for parents is also a blessing — I feel seen and supported as a mother."

    Umm Idris

  • "As a parent, learning coach, and teacher Alhamdulillah we found Darul nojoom when we needed it most. As a mother of multiple children i was determined to find a way for my children to be able to learn grow and thrive while still getting their Islamic education and having the ability to foster good morals and values without compromising our deen. We have found that with Darul nojoom academy, my children have learned so much and built new relationships all while being in a nurturing, safe, engaging environment that is ran by other mothers! May Allah bless the school preserve it upon good and allow it to continue to grow Ameen!"
