Zaynab Academy Online is the first all-women’s online Islamic educational institute dedicated to classical Islamic learning and spirituality and was founded in 2009 by Shaykh Mawlana Kamaluddin Ahmed and his wife, Alimah Sobia Ahmed. The Academy is non-commercial and non-political and all courses are offered free of charge. We provide a structured educational approach to classical Islamic scholarship, offer a flexible learning environment and impart an educational experience that is at once academically rigorous and spiritually uplifting. All courses emphasize the importance of using sacred knowledge as a means of increasing our connection with Allah (swt) and furthering our spiritual development.
Zaynab Academy Online’s courses are based on the Quran and Sunnah and draw upon the rich scholarly tradition of Islamic civilization with a respect for all scholars of the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. To date, its courses have been attended by thousands of women from dozens of countries around the world.
