Developing Faith, Character, and Knowledge

At UKLA, our objective is to nurture the personalities of our children so that they grow conscious of their responsibility to Allah ﷻ (God the Creator) and to their fellow human beings.

We want to see every child develop a strong Islamic identity, an emotional attachment to Islam, and the confidence to live as practicing Muslims in New Zealand. We believe this can only be achieved by cultivating both intellectual and spiritual growth, with parents playing an active role alongside our academy.

Our Story

The Umar bin Khattab Learning Academy (UKLA) was founded with the vision of nurturing the next generation of Muslims in Auckland through authentic and comprehensive Islamic education.

Named after Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) — the second Caliph of Islam, renowned for his justice, wisdom, and commitment to knowledge — our academy strives to embody these same values in every aspect of teaching and community service.

What began as a small community initiative has now grown into a trusted institution, offering a wide range of programs including weekday madrasah, weekend classes, Hifdh programs, and youth guidance sessions.

Based in Mount Roskill, we are proud to serve families from diverse backgrounds, united by the shared goal of raising children who are confident in their Islamic identity while excelling in their wider education and life.
