Upon the advice of Sheikh ul Hadith Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Naeem, Institute of Islamic Education (IIE) was founded as an educational and religious non-profit Islamic Institution. It began with one hifz student in a small house.  In April 1994 IIE purchased a building consisting of one-acre land in Elgin, IL-25 miles west of Chicago which is presently utilized as the Girls Classroom and Dormitory Building. In September 1999 IIE purchased another building with 4-acre which houses the Boys Classrooms and Dormitory. Construction of the standalone Masjid-ul-Islam building is in progress. Alhamdulillah the number of students has grown each year. Today we have over 100 students from the Chicago Metropolitan area and surrounding states who are memorizing and learning the glorious book of Al-Qura’n, Prophet’s Sunnah and the Arabic language. We also have students enrolled in the 4-year Alim/Alimah degree program. In addition to the Islamic Studies programs, students are also enrolled in the secular studies programs (upto 12th grade).

To date IIE has produced over 75 young Huffaz and 4 Alimas. Most of the graduates have gone on to for further studies at prestigious universities. Many of our alumni are successful professionals and community leaders in Chicago and across the United States.

InshaAllah with your dua’as IIE will continue to participate in the great and noble mission of propagating Islamic scholarship.
