About Us
The Athayi Group of Educational Institutions is a distinguished network committed to excellence in Islamic and secular education. Founded by Allama, Al-Haaj, Al-Hafil, As-Sheikh Aala Usthadh A.M. Mohammed Nizar Fazil Jamali, M.A. Hazrath Qibla, under the Athayi Educational & Charitable Trust, our journey began in 1996 as Bilalia Arabic College. In 2019, it evolved into the Athayi Group of Educational Institutions with a mission to harmonize traditional Islamic knowledge with modern academic disciplines, shaping individuals who thrive both spiritually and intellectually.
Our philosophy is rooted in the Quranic supplication:
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
“Our Lord, grant us goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.”
— (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:201)
At Athayi, we follow a dual education model, integrating Quranic studies, Hadith, Fiqh, and Islamic history with science, mathematics, language studies, and technology. This comprehensive approach fosters intellectual excellence, ethical leadership, and unwavering faith, ensuring our students are well-equipped to serve humanity with knowledge and righteousness.
A Legacy of Knowledge & Leadership
With institutions across multiple locations, Athayi has expanded into a global network, offering schools, colleges, and an online university, making quality education accessible to students worldwide. Our commitment to academic excellence and moral upbringing has earned us recognition as a leading institution in Islamic and contemporary education.
Guided by the vision of As-Sheikh Aala Usthadh, Athayi continues to grow, embracing modern educational advancements while preserving the rich traditions of Islamic scholarship. We strive to produce scholars, professionals, and leaders who uphold the values of integrity, service, and lifelong learning, excelling in both their spiritual and professional lives.
As the Prophet ﷺ said:
“The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.”
— (Sahih al-Bukhari 5027)
