Mission

The Universal Institute of Islamic Education is a Qur'anic Educational Research, Development and Service Institute dedicated to the excellence of education with special focus on the K-12 system of Islamic Schools.

The Institute promotes and supports scientific investigation of the best practices that exist in Islamic Schools

Data from these schools are then analyzed and categorized by principles, systems and methods; then integrated, with state-of-the-art technology into effective and efficient interdisciplinary curricula, instructional materials, teaching methodology and administrative procedures for service to Islamic schools.

Sensitive to the cultural and ethnic diversity of the Ummah (Muslim Community), the Universal Institute of Islamic Education designs, develops and administers programs drawing from a rich resource of culturally diverse scholars, educators and teachers, nationally and internationally. This diversity, is responsible for shaping the center piece of the Institute, which is the unifying universal commonality of all peoples and cultures - the human being and the desire for human excellence.

Envisioned in 1984, as the result of an independent study of Islamic schools in America, the Universal Institute of Islamic Education was formally proposed in a paper entitled, "Dilemmas of Islamic Education in America: Possible Solutions," at the International Institute of Islamic Thought in Herndon, Virginia, in 1989. It was later incorporated as a private, non-profit educational institution.

Distinguished as the only Qur'anic research center in America that focuses specifically on educational research from the practical perspective of the K-12 (kindergarten through twelfth grade) schools, the Universal Institute of Islamic Education compiles and disseminates its findings to various educational institutions to assist in the delivery of their respective services.
