The institute was initially called Madrasah Zakariyya and was finally changed to Darul Uloom Zakariyya to reflect its true educational purpose as an Institute of higher Islamic learning. Since its inception, the madrasa has expanded and now include a branch in Eikenhof, a locality some 73 km away; catering for the needs of approximately 700 young Hifdh learners – and a Maktab in Mandane, Soweto. The madrasa has produced a wide range of exemplary alumni and community leaders.
