About Us

Welcome to Aani studio, where we celebrate the synergy between educators, parents, and children. At Aani Studio, we recognise that children inspire educators, who rely on parental support. Together, we engage families, support educators, and inspire kids for Islamic enrichment through interactive resources tailored to all ages.

Maulana Azhar

Founder and CEO
The founder of Aani Studio began his educational journey after spending 12 years obtaining a bachelor’s degree from the Institution of Islamic Education, famously known as Dewsbury Markaz, in West Yorkshire, in Islamic sciences and Arabic Language and literature. Pursuing his passion, he also obtained Ijaazah in the 10 Qiraa’aats. This opened doors to serve on national and international levels. With many years of teaching experience, he became a guiding figure in education and leadership, known for his exceptional lessons and innovative teaching methods. Aani Studio was born when he, alongside his spouse, recognised the need for fresh approaches in Madrassah education. His vision is to revolutionise traditional teaching, making it not only informative but also inspiring and engaging, with a strong focus on Tarbiyyah.

Mualimah Zainab

Founder and COO
Graduating from Al Markazul Ilmi Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, with an impressive decade-long journey in education, she discovered her passion for teaching at just 16, paving the way for a remarkable educational adventure. Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Islamic Theology and Arabic Language, she showcases her commitment to deepening her understanding of the subjects she loves. Zainab, as a secondary school teacher, noticed how easy and accessible school resources were available online. This made her see the gap when she began teaching in Madrassah, and like lots of other educators, she often had to spend precious time making her own materials. It was clear things could be a lot simpler and faster. And there was a strong need to incorporate and use technology to its full potential, as done with secular education. So, she got to work, creating away in the evenings and on weekends, putting together teaching resources at home alongside her teaching profession. By making these resources just once and sharing them with the education community, Aani could free up time for Muslim educators and help them focus on what really matters – teaching our children with fun and engaging methods.
