Amazing, amazing place for hifth with many many facilites activities and fun. Alhamdulilah I even finished the quran here, Barakullah feek to the Sheikh here. They offer Traweeh every night in Ramadan, and have many other programs such as a full time islamic school with both Quran AND Academics. There is a Saturday school to learn Arabic, there's a Sunday school for quran and islamic studies, Really if you need anything this is the perfect place. I have many many fond memories here and this place really shaped my Iman. This place fosters a really spiritual and uplifting environment, all thanks to the amazing Sheikh here. He displays amazing character, with the utmost fairness and decorum. His eloquent speech in both arabic and English allow for high comprehensiveness for Islam. This Sheikh has countless knowledge in Aqeedah, Fiqh, Akhlaq, Hadeeth, Tareekh, Seerah and finally the quran. If there is any place or person

I went here for two years in elementary and learned so much Qur’an with them. They have lots of fun activities, and the most incredible Sheikh. I wish I could be like him one day. I was so blessed to go here.

Amazing school within community my son has completed its grade 2 in the school. The most distinguished aspect about this school is that curriculum is designed in such a way that main focus is on quran learning and memorization along with academics . Highly recommended

My family has been with the school for years and the head Sheikh is a really cool guy who’s good with the youth and involves himself with them a lot. He is fair, and strict when it comes to them. The Quran program is probably the best I’ve seen so far in Raleigh, and the teachers are good and fair to everyone and do not display favoritism in anyway, shape, or form. Definitely the best hifdh school I’ve seen.

Our experience with this school has been nothing short of wonderful. From the very beginning, the administration and teachers have shown genuine care for both the academic and emotional well-being of the students. The school’s commitment to creating an Islamic environment focused on Quranic education and character development is clear in every aspect of its daily operations.

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.

Salaam. I had my daughter attend MQYC Saturday school, the spring camp and intensive (انغماس) Arabic among other services. MQYC in my view is the ONLY place in the triangle that properly teaches Arabic in a safe and loving environment. PERIOD. Irreplaceable!!.

I pray that Allah gives them continued success and growth.
