The Islāmic Da’wah Academy, commonly known as the IDA, was founded to facilitate a greater understanding and awareness of the teachings of Islam. It aims to educate people from all walks of life, and especially young Muslims, in all aspects of their religious development. Since its inception in 1991, the IDA has grown into an internationally recognised institute of academic excellence and religious revival. Under the guidance of its founder, the respected scholar and lecturer, Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh, the IDA has continued to progress to achieve its aim of helping to create the Muslims of tomorrow.
