About the Founder– Ustadha Atiqa Mutee

 Born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, Ustadha Atiqa Mutee embarked on her journey of Qur’anic education at a young age. She memorized the entire Qur’an with Tajweed in 2011 from Kulliyat-ul-Qur’an wal-Madrasah al-ʿIlmiyyah lil-Banāt, under the supervision of Idarah al-Islah Pakistan.  Driven by a deep love for the Qur’an, she continued her studies in Qira’at, Tajweed, Tafseer, and Hadith, completing advanced diplomas and certifications from esteemed institutions. Over the years, she further enriched her skills through international programs — mastering both classical knowledge and modern teaching techniques.  With over 11 years of teaching experience, Ustadha Atiqa has taught women, children, and boys — first in-person at Quraan College, Kasur, and later online to a global audience. In 2020, she founded Az-Zikr Online Islamic Foundation with the mission to provide authentic Qur’anic education rooted in love, excellence, and sincerity.

Mission

At Az-Zikr, our mission is to connect hearts with the Qur’an — not merely by teaching its letters, but by planting love for it in the hearts of our students. We aim to make Qur’anic learning accessible, gentle, and transformative. Our teachers are hand-picked for their strong knowledge, refined recitation, and excellent adab. We prioritize kindness in teaching, and discourage any harshness that may push learners away from the beauty of the Deen.
