Madrasah Imam Al-Asr was established in 1995 in Woking, Surrey, UK. More recently, in 2000, thousands of pounds were raised to purchase a new building.  The library, two lecture rooms and a small prayer hall in the new building provide a focal point for the whole community.  In 2001 during the month of Muhuram, the first Majlis was held in the centre.

The madrasah is for children age 6+. Classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays from 6- 7.30 pm. The school term runs from Septermber to July every year.

The madrasah is headed by Hujjatul Islam Dr Abbas Naqvi.
