About
Anjuman Muhibaan-e-Noor
انجمن محبان نور
An international, volunteer-run online Islamic school. We are teachers, parents and students working together to keep the message of the Ahlul Bayt (AS) alive in our homes.
Our Mission
Why we exist.
Across the world, Shia families are raising their children far from the centres of tradition — without easy access to a madrasa, a knowledgeable scholar or a community of peers. Distance, language and time zones quietly thin the connection.
Anjuman Muhibaan-e-Noor exists to close that distance. We bring weekly, structured online classes — taught by qualified, vetted teachers — into living rooms in the USA, Europe, Ethiopia, and beyond. We do this free of charge, for the sake of Allah and His beloved Hujjah (AJF).
Our Vision
What we are working toward.
A generation of young muhibban — confident in their deen, eloquent in their faith, connected to their Imam (AJF), and ready to carry the message of the Ahlul Bayt (AS) wherever life takes them.
Our Values
Four principles that guide every class.
Sincerity (Ikhlas)
We teach for the pleasure of Allah and the closeness of His Hujjah (AJF) — never for fame, fee or following.
Adherence to the Ahlul Bayt (AS)
Our curriculum, ethos and references are rooted in the path of the 14 Masumeen (AS).
Care for every child
Class sizes are small. Our nazmeen track every student's attendance and progress with personal attention.
Excellence in teaching
Every teacher graduates from our Teacher Training Course (TTC) — pedagogy is not optional.
