Zakia Malik

The Mother of Sunnah Camp

Zakia Malik is the founder and mother of Sunnah Camp. She began her teaching career at the tender age of 14 and since then has been uber passionate about spreading the beautiful knowledge of Islam to kids in a fun and exciting way. After completing her education at al-Huda alongside Farhat Hashmi, Zakia went on to set up her first Sunnah Camp based in Canada and since then has taught over 1,000 students.

After 30 years in the work, Zakia has expanded the school and now teaches tajweed, Tafseer of the noble Qur'an as well as hadeeth. She especially loves teaching the seerah of our beloved Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), and stories of his companions (may Allah be pleased with them all). Her unique way of explaining their stories and extracting the beneficial lessons has made her famous amongst the youngsters in her city.

You'll notice that Zakia's teaching methods have also evolved with time as she continuously uses new and innovative methods to spread the love of the Qur'an and Sunnah. This sometimes involves gooey slime and vision boards, but hey, kids love her and that's what makes her the "coolest aunty on planet Earth!"
