DQLI began as a modest Qur’anic madrasa with just forty students and a small group of dedicated teachers. Under the visionary leadership of its Founder Chairman Ash-Sheikh S. H. M. Naleem, together with the committed efforts of Ash-Sheikh Shafeeq Zahri, Ash-Sheikh Nawaz Noori, and Ash-Sheikh Imthiyas Madani, the institution steadily developed into a respected centre for Qur’anic education.
