A Need We Could Not Ignore
Kulliya Ayesha Siddiqa Lilbanat was established in 2017 in Zakir Nagar, Okhla — a community in the heart of Delhi with a deep and living connection to Islamic tradition.
The founders recognised a gap that too many families were navigating quietly: a genuine desire for their children to receive a proper Islamic education, alongside an equally genuine desire to see them succeed in school. Existing institutions asked families to choose. We were built to offer something different.
Named after Sayyidah Ayesha Siddiqah (رضي الله عنها) — one of the greatest scholars in the history of Islam, a teacher to thousands, and a woman whose intellectual courage and love of learning changed the ummah — this institution carries her name as both an inspiration and a standard.
يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ
اللہ ان لوگوں کے درجات بلند فرمائے گا جو ایمان لائے اور جنہیں علم عطا کیا گیا
“Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge, by degrees.”
قرآن کریم — سورۃ المجادلة، آیت ١١ · Quran 58:11Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To give every Muslim student in Delhi access to a rigorous, authentic Islamic education — one that equips them with knowledge of their Deen, love of the Quran, and the confidence to carry their faith through the full complexity of modern life. Without having to step away from it.
Our Vision
A generation of deeply learned Muslims who are fully present in their world — scholars of their Deen, capable members of their families and communities, and living examples that knowledge and modernity are not in conflict.
وَعَلَّمَكَ مَا لَمْ تَكُن تَعْلَمُ ۚ وَكَانَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيمًا
اور اس نے تمہیں وہ علم دیا جو تم نہیں جانتے تھے — اور اللہ کا تم پر بڑا فضل ہے
"And He taught you what you did not know. And the favour of Allah upon you has been ever great."
قرآن کریم — سورۃ النساء، آیت ١١٣ · Quran 4:113What Makes Us Different
Designed Around School — Not Despite It
The timetable at Kulliya Ayesha Siddiqa Lilbanat did not happen by accident. Every class, every assessment, every revision cycle was structured with the school calendar in mind. Evening and weekend sessions. Flexibility during exam seasons. Coordination with the rhythms of a school-going student's life. This is not a concession — it is the architecture of the institution.
The Texts Are Ancient. The Teaching Doesn't Have to Be.
Traditional madrasas have always had remarkable content. What we have added is a teaching approach that meets students where they are. Arabic grammatical concepts are explained in Urdu before students encounter them in texts. Fiqh rulings are unpacked through situations students in Delhi actually face today. Hadith narrations are studied as living guidance — their context, their application, their wisdom for now.
Every Student Is Known by Name
Small class sizes are not incidental to our model — they are the model. A teacher who knows their students can see when one is struggling before they fall behind. Our structured revision and assessment system ensures that progress is tracked, gaps are caught early, and no student is left to quietly flounder while the class moves on.
A Scholar. A Teacher. A Standard.
Sayyidah Ayesha bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq (رضي الله عنها) was not merely the wife of the Prophet ﷺ — she was one of the most prolific transmitters of Hadith in Islamic history, a jurist whose legal opinions shaped schools of thought, a teacher who instructed men and women alike, and a woman of profound intellectual courage.
She asked questions. She corrected errors. She taught with authority and spoke with precision. She embodied the principle that knowledge is not a passive inheritance but an active, living practice.
This institution carries her name because she is what we aspire to produce — not in scale, but in spirit.
