Rooted in Faith,
Growing in Community
Madinah Quran and Youth Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Triangle with Qur'an education, youth support, and a new home for worship, learning, and community growth.
Our Mission
MQYC property and assets are all an Islamic Waqf. No individual or entity owns any part of it. It is all for the Muslim community. Board members are subject to change.
For more details on the experience of Imam Sh. Abdullah and our other teachers, please visit our Imam page and Teachers page.
We continue to build a welcoming, faith-centered space for Quran study, Arabic literacy, and community service so the Triangle area can grow stronger in faith, character, and Islamic knowledge.

Voices From Our Community
The staff members are professional, approachable, and truly invested in their students. Many of them are also parents themselves, which only enhances their empathy and understanding of children’s needs. I have seen teachers go out of their way to support students — not only in academics but in personal growth, manners, and faith.
The school makes an intentional effort modeling the Islamic values of fairness, kindness, and community.
Any concerns brought to the administration have always been met with openness and prompt, thoughtful responses. Rather than dismissing parents, the leadership actively involves them, creating opportunities for collaboration and improvement.
Discipline is handled with fairness and compassion, focusing on teaching children accountability while supporting their emotional well-being. I’ve personally witnessed students being guided through conflicts in a restorative and caring way.
This school has provided a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for my family, and we are grateful for the dedicated educators and staff who work so hard every day. I would highly recommend this school to any family seeking not only quality education but also strong Islamic values in a welcoming, supportive community.
I pray that Allah gives them continued success and growth.
Be part of the MQYC family.
Your support helps us serve youth, families, and the wider Muslim community across Raleigh and the Triangle.
