Islamic Education for Kids in Korea

خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ

“The best among you are those who learn and teach the Qur’an.”

Islamic Education in Korean

In the heart of Seoul, South Korea, children are discovering the beauty of Islam — reading the Qur’an, memorizing Surahs, learning Hadith, and studying the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Our classes are taught in Korean, so children can fully understand and connect with the teachings of Islam in their everyday language. They learn about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the basics of Islamic belief, prayer, fasting, ablution, and the distinction between halal and haram — all in their native tongue.

Young Muslims of Seoul

By Allah’s mercy, these children are growing into faithful young Muslims, striving to avoid the haram and live according to Islamic values.

Our center in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, runs year-round classes and intensive summer/winter programs. We provide Qur’an lessons, Islamic knowledge, and meals during weekdays, weekends, and holiday programs.

Hadith on Qur’an Learning

خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ

“The best among you are those who learn and teach the Qur’an.” (Bukhārī)

Hadith on Qur’an Recitation

مَنْ قَرَأَ حَرْفًا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللهِ فَلَهُ بِهِ حَسَنَةٌ، وَالْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، لَا أَقُولُ: الم حَرْفٌ، وَلَكِنْ أَلِفٌ حَرْفٌ، وَلَامٌ حَرْفٌ، وَمِيمٌ حَرْفٌ

“Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will receive a good deed, and a good deed is multiplied by ten. I do not say Alif-Lam-Mim is one letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter, and Mim is a letter.” (Tirmidhī)

Why Your Support Matters

These children are part of a small but growing Muslim community in Korea, where Muslims make up only about 0.4% of the population. They need your help to continue learning Islam in a safe, welcoming environment.

By supporting them, you are:

Securing their Islamic future in this world and the Hereafter.

Contributing to the growth of Islam in a country where it is truly needed.

Earning a never-ending Sadaqah Jariyah for yourself.

Hadith on Scholars, Students, and the Generous

ثَلَاثَةٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَاللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ: اَلْعُلَمَاءُ وَالْمُتَعَلِّمُونَ وَالْأَسْخِيَاءُ

“The heavens, the earth, the night, the day, and the angels seek forgiveness for three types of people: scholars who act on their knowledge, students who seek knowledge, and the generous.” (Suyūtī, Jam‘ al-Jawāmi‘)
