نہیں ہے ناامید اقبال اپنی کشتِ ویراں سے
ذرا نم ہو تو یہ مٹی بڑی زرخیز ہے ساقی

ہزاروں سال نرگس اپنی بے نوری پہ روتی ہے
بڑی مشکل سے ہوتا ہے چمن میں دیدہ ور پیدا

Deedawar International Academy's vision is a world where Muslim women are the most competent professionals, mothers, wives, ummatis, and Abidas.

Deedawar represents clarity of purpose, conscious living, and moral responsibility.

Deedawar International Academy is a women-led educational and coaching institution dedicated to personal development, emotional well-being, and family life education within an Islamic framework. We work with women, families, and youth to develop inner strength, emotional intelligence, and practical life skills rooted in faith.

Youth and women represent the future of our Ummah, but the prevailing education system in our society has failed to impart real-life skills to our youth and women. Recognizing this crucial gap, Deedawar International Academy was founded five years ago as an institution that would play a vital role in reviving the spirit of the Ummah. Our mission is to empower Muslim women to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to thrive in all their roles.

Our vision is to nurture individuals who live with awareness and responsibility, strengthen family systems, and contribute positively to society — guided by deen, wisdom, and purposeful action.
