Dagenham Community and Learning Centre

A Project of Reynold Community Trust

We are proud to run daily and weekend Madrasah programmes at Dagenham Community and Learning Centre, offering a warm and structured space for children to develop a solid Islamic foundation alongside good character and discipline. Managed by our dedicated team, the Madrasah focuses on nurturing the next generation with both knowledge and values that will benefit them in this life and the Hereafter.

This Centre is one of the newest branches under Reynold Community Trust, and it continues our vision of building a caring, faith-based community. Students are taught to recite the Qur’an with proper Tajweed, understand their duties as Muslims, and build confidence in practising Islam. Core subjects include Qur’anic studies, Fiqh (Islamic rulings), Aqeedah (beliefs), Prophetic stories, and personal development — all delivered in an age-appropriate and engaging way.

We encourage all parents to prioritise their child’s religious education by enrolling them in a trusted Maktab. Consistent attendance plays a key role in shaping well-rounded individuals.

Inara Institute fosters balanced learning, blending tradition with modern insight for a future-focused, faith-rooted education. Guided by core principles of respect and service.

Why Islamic Education Matters

The society of tomorrow is shaped by the children we raise today. While school provides academic learning, Islamic education offers something equally vital: purpose, manners, and a connection with faith.

In the current world, children face distractions and influences that often pull them away from moral values. That’s why proactive Islamic education is essential. A structured Madrasah environment offers the guidance, support, and positive role models children need.

Inspired by the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — who made the mosque a central space for learning and development — Dagenham Community and Learning Centre aims to create that same connection. Through daily Salah, Maktab classes, and community programmes, we help children become comfortable and confident in their Deen.

Parents hold a sacred responsibility in nurturing faith. Our Madrasah helps lighten this burden by supporting families with trusted education and spiritual care.
