About Darul Uloom Newcastle Upon Tyne

Darul Uloom Newcastle Upon Tyne was established in 2025 by Mufti Muhammad Abdulmuheet Sahib under the umbrella of Bahr Charity. Building upon the success of Bahr Academy, the Darul Uloom was founded with a vision to extend structured Islamic education beyond girls’ provision and serve the wider community of Newcastle and surrounding areas.

The institute offers a range of traditional Islamic programmes, including a full-time Alimiyyah course, Hifz (Qur’an memorisation), Tajweed classes for boys and girls, and a foundational Islamic Studies programme (Sanatayn). Courses are available full-time, part-time, and in the evenings, accommodating students from childhood through to adulthood.

In addition to educational provision, the Darul Uloom provides Islamic guidance and counselling, marriage guidance, da‘wah initiatives, and broader community support services.

As the first institute of its kind in the region offering full-time traditional Islamic scholarship, Darul Uloom Newcastle operates as a supplementary educational institution dedicated to nurturing sound knowledge, upright character, and spiritual development.

Located in the heart of the West End of Newcastle upon Tyne, the institute is led by Mufti Muhammad Abdulmuheet alongside a team of dedicated local scholars, striving to cultivate faith, knowledge, and service within the community.
