About IYMA

About the academy

IYMA was started as a form of appreciation and ever-lasting reward for our teacher, Ḥaḍrat Shaykh Yūsuf Ibn Sulaimān Motala رحمة الله عليه. The academy serves as a masjid, a madrasah and a gathering place for the wider community.

Our teacher

Hadhrat Shaykh Yusuf Ibn Sulaiman Motala رحمة الله عليه

The academy carries the name of our teacher as a form of appreciation and an ever-lasting reward, inshāʾAllāh. His life was given to the teaching of the Qur'an and to the training of students who would carry that work forward.

IYMA continues that work in Bradford: the five daily prayers in jama'ah, weekly programmes for the community, and madrasah classes for children in ḥifẓ and nāẓirah.
