A structured evening program helping children grow in Qur’an recitation, Islamic knowledge, adab, and daily Islamic practice.
The goal of this program is to give children the essential Islamic teachings they need as they grow.
As students progress, they work toward being able to read the Qur’an with confidence, perform salah correctly, understand the basics of fasting, learn important daily duas, and carry these foundations into everyday life.
Students learn together in a structured classroom environment where they stay engaged throughout the lesson.
By listening, reading, responding, writing, and reviewing as a class, children remain connected from beginning to end. This helps build focus, retention, and steady progress.
Children in this program build foundations in three core areas.
Children learn to read the Qur’an step by step through the Qaida, building toward confident recitation.
Children explore core beliefs, prophetic stories, and Islamic character through structured, level-based lessons.
Children are guided to build adab, good habits, and daily Islamic practice in a structured classroom environment.
The aim is not only for children to learn information, but to begin practising Islam with understanding, confidence, and good habits.
Each child is assessed during registration through an interview and placed at the appropriate level. Tap any level to see what children learn.
Students build a foundation in Arabic letter recognition and begin reading simple words.
Students learn the vowel system and begin reading words and phrases with greater fluency.
Students develop advanced reading skills that prepare them for independent Qur'an reading.
Students learn the essential rules of Tajweed and begin applying them in Qur'anic recitation.
After students gain familiarity with Qaida and Tajweed, they continue guided Qur'an recitation while beginning to memorize the last 20 surahs, building fluency, confidence, and a stronger connection to the Qur'an.
Students are introduced to basic Islamic rulings, core beliefs, prophetic stories, essential du'as, the Islamic months, and the Arabic alphabet.
Students build on earlier learning through creed, salah rulings, stories of past nations, and an introduction to the Prophetic Sirah.
Students deepen their understanding of creed, Prophetic stories, salah-related rulings, and Islamic character in everyday modern life.
Students consolidate earlier lessons through advanced creed, further Sirah, higher rulings on purification, and broader Islamic morals and brotherhood.
This helps ensure that children learn with others at a similar stage and progress in a structured and steady way.
Friday class is for students who are behind and need additional help.
If a student is required to attend on Friday, attendance is mandatory so they can receive focused support in a smaller setting and catch up properly.
The program is open to children ages 5–15. Students ages 10 and above are placed into separate boys’ and girls’ classes.
