An Islamic institute and home to Masjid Abubakr in Govanhill, Glasgow — and part of a family of madrasahs reaching from Scotland to Turkey and Kyrgyzstan.
AlFalaah Scotland began as Darul Falaah, with a straightforward objective: establishing a Glasgow-based centre for Islamic education accessible to all.
That modest beginning has grown into a comprehensive hub encompassing education, worship and community engagement. Today we are an Islamic institute committed to nurturing faith, knowledge and character — making authentic Islamic learning accessible to every individual, regardless of age or background.
