My name is Imam Mohamed Patel.  I was born in Zambia and moved to the UK at the age of 14. I have lived in London ever since where I completed my education at Newham College of Technology, East Ham, London earning a BTEC National Certificate in Electrical Engineering. After which I pursued my Hifdh Education from Darul Uloom Al Arabiya Al Islamiya, Holcombe, England.  Previous to joining IQRA, I taught Hifdh at Madressah Al Hidaya, in Iiford London.  A program I developed and headed for the past 6 years.  I hope to use my 15+ years of  Hifdh experience and apply my expertise in the Academy Hifdh Programs to help develop a love and respect for the Qur’an and its study. in sha Allah.  I am happily married with four amazing children Alhumdulilah and am excited to join the Iqra community.
