About Us

HOUR HISTORY

From the Start

Learning Souls was founded with a vision to promote education and understanding based on Islamic principles, aiming to foster community and interfaith harmony.

With the backing of dedicated supporters, we began distributing educational resources and forming partnerships to expand our reach.

Today, we continue our work with the same commitment, striving to make a lasting positive impact through education

THE STEPS

Our Commitment

01

The Beginning

In 2013 we started with the translation of the meaning of the Quran, especially for children. An Urdu translation project started in 2018 and Alhamdulilah both translations are now complete and are soon to be published in electronic and on paper in the next year or so in sha Allah, depending on the availability of resources.

Hadith Collection

We started a Hadith Collection and collation project in 2015 by collecting available parent books translated in Urdu and English. By 2018 we had 53 books in our Hadith library. However, in 2019 we added 328 parent Hadith books of the Maktabah Shamilah of Madinah Al Munawarah University. This was a very major addition to our Hadith project.

Over the next five years we were able to bring all parent Hadith books in a data base in soft format. This amounts to more than 200,000 A4 pages of Arabic writing. Previously translated books were also typed in the database. It turns out to be only 282,000 Ahdith out of available 1.34 million Ahdith (21,000 A4 pages out of 200,000). Within a year of noting this we set up a group of qualified scholars who translated over 150,000 Ahadith in the last 4 years.

Apps publish & fund Raise

Khushii Dua and Salah Book was launched last year. The app has over 170 lively illustrations, rewards and medals for learning and listening to duas. The app has three learning levels, with translations in 20 languages along with transliteration. It is ideal for new Muslim reverts, children and adults. This app would also be very useful for parents and Islamic Madrasahs to involve kids into learning of Duas and Salah.

Your Purchase (of £2) will help us fund other dawah projects of Quran and Hadith as well as Books and apps for children education. Up to 20 apps can be gifted to others in app. If you would like to donate this app in 100s or 1000s please contact our charity through this link and we can facilitate this.

Khushii Quran Stories App: To be released soon. With over 900 beautiful illustrations this carefully curated app tells our children stories of the Quran in simple words close to the Quran Translation. This app has 20 major languages of the world to spread the stories of Quran across our globe.

Distribution of Knowledge

With our experience of distributing Quran and Seerah Books from colourful shelves in our multifaith room, we invited chaplains from nearby trusts to join in. By the time of publishing of our message, we would be setting it up in 10 hospitals in UK to distribute Quran translations, as well as Seerah books shown on our website.

From each shelf almost 30 copies of the Quran translation are taken by Muslims and non-Muslims, along with however many Seerah books we placed on these shelves. Time and circumstances are proving that many people are interested in learning about Islam, Quran and Seerah of our beloved Prophet PBUH. Please donate generously so we can reach out to each and every hospital and prison in UK to convey the message of Quran and introduce Seerah of the Prophet PBUH.

Publication on Paper

Alhamdulilah we are in the process of getting Al-Mustafa Quran Translations published both in English and Urdu. The Urdu Quran is in the last stages of proofreading then editing will start. For the English Quran we are in talks with two publishers in the UK and Türkiye and soon we will have them published on paper for the seekers of knowledge.
