'Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.' (Ibn Majah ).
Due to demand for better educational institutes the Muslim Society of Leeds established Leeds Muslim College in January 2006 and has set up the Islamic Studies Department to provide traditional educational programmes for children in a contemporary setting. Presently the College is using temporary premises of a local primary school in Harehills and running many educational programmes for the Muslim children of Leeds . Presently the college offers:
- Pre-Madrassa Early Years Nursery to be managed by a qualified nursery nurse for children aged 3-5.

- Hifz Course (Memorisation of the Holy Qur'an). This course is for children who want to mentally learn the entire Qur'an, and this course is run between 3 – 5 years depending on the capability of the child.
