Est. September 2020
From a WhatsApp group of five students to a school with 100+ students and 30+ teachers — alhamdulillah.
2020
Maslakul Irshaad Online Academy began with founder Maryam Abdulkareem's resolve to build a structured, accessible platform for Islamic education. Encouraged by her mentor, Ustadh Ibraheem Adetona Olamide, she coined the Academy's name and drafted its first curriculum — by hand, photographed and shared as PDFs, with voice notes to match. Classes ran three to four nights a week after Isha, for a first cohort of about five adult women.
2021
During her NYSC year, the founder took on her first private students — three children studying from abroad — MIA's first classes for minors. That same year she joined Daarul Uloom as an instructor while completing a master's degree.
2022–2023
Teaching continued through a research year in Ghana, often past midnight. After returning to Nigeria and with the steady support of her husband, Ustadh Idris Abiola Quadri, the Academy grew to nearly twenty private students.
Dec 2023
MIA formally became an institution with employed teachers, starting with Sheikha Latifah Najimud-Deen, Sheikha Maryam Oladepo, and Sheikha Aminat Abdulwahab. Zoom infrastructure was upgraded to support breakout rooms, and the teaching team grew steadily through 2024.
2025
MIA launched its English and Mathematics program, extending Western education alongside the Islamic studies curriculum — and growing to 20+ students.
Today
Maslakul Irshaad Academy now has 100+ students enrolled, supported by a dedicated team of 30+ teachers across Arabic, Islamic studies, and Western education. Alhamdulillah — with the continued trust of our parents and the mercy of Allah, we look forward to many more years of learning, growth, and service.
About the Founder
Founder, Maslakul Irshaad Online Academy
Maryam has been teaching since 2007, when she began assisting at her mother's own physical school — an early start that grew into a lifelong love of teaching, and eventually led her to found Maslakul Irshaad Online Academy in September 2020.
She is herself a Thanawiyyah graduate of Roudotul Adabil Arabiyy wal Islamiyy, a madrosah owned by her honorable teacher and mentor, Sheikh Abdul Basit Qomorud-Deen Kaymusta Al-Oyowiyy — may Allah elongate his life upon goodness, ameen.
Alongside teaching and running the Academy day to day, Maryam personally oversees the children across MIA's different sections.
