Our story
A trusted Malayalam voice in Islamic education, now online.
AL Thanweer was founded to solve a simple problem: Malayali families, in Kerala and across the Gulf, wanted authentic Islamic learning in their own language, taught by teachers they could trust, at times that suited real life. So we built it, with offices in Mannarkkad, Kerala and Sharjah, UAE.
Founder
Muhammed Ashraf Anwari
35 years of teaching, Kerala & the Gulf
Ustadh Muhammed Ashraf Anwari has spent three and a half decades teaching Quran and Islamic sciences, first in classrooms across Kerala, then serving Malayali communities in the Gulf. AL Thanweer distills that experience into a modern online madrasa, so any Malayali family, anywhere, can access the same standard of teaching.
Vision
To nurture a generation of Muslims who are firmly grounded in Islamic knowledge, strong in character, and connected to the Qur'an and Sunnah, regardless of where they live in the world.
Mission
To provide accessible, engaging, and high-quality online Islamic education in Malayalam through qualified teachers, interactive live classes, and a structured curriculum that helps children develop faith, knowledge, and good character.
