01 · About the Academy
Founded in faith,
built for the future
Zaib Academy is the educational wing of Abul Lais Educational and Welfare Trust, established in 2015 in loving memory of the founder's beloved mother. Named “Zaib” in her honour, the academy reflects a commitment to knowledge, compassion, and service that she embodied throughout her life.
The academy is a fully residential institution situated in Bantala, Bhatipota, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal — providing a structured, nurturing environment where children aged 8 to 12 live, learn, and grow under continuous care and guidance.
Since its founding, Zaib Academy has graduated eleven Huffaz of the Holy Quran and supported eighteen students through their Madhyamik examinations — testament to its commitment to both spiritual excellence and academic achievement.

02 · Curriculum
The Hifz-ul-Quran Programme
The core programme at Zaib Academy is a comprehensive Hifz-ul-Quran curriculum designed for children aged 8 to 12. It integrates Quranic memorisation with Tajweed and a structured academic syllabus.
Hifz (Memorisation)
Students dedicate approximately eight hours each day to Quran memorisation under the guidance of qualified Huffaz teachers, following a structured and graduated memorisation plan.
Tajweed (Recitation Science)
Alongside memorisation, students receive dedicated instruction in the rules of Tajweed — ensuring every verse is recited with proper pronunciation, rhythm, and reverence.
Academic Subjects
Two hours of daily academic instruction cover Mathematics, English, Urdu, Social Studies, and Islamic Studies — ensuring students remain on track with their formal education.
