Islamic Studies for Children
What your child will actually learn
Lessons cover the foundations a Muslim child needs: who Allah is and what we believe about Him, how to pray and purify oneself correctly, the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the manners that come with all of it. It is taught in English, at the child's level, with the aim that they understand and love what they are learning rather than only repeat it.
Aqeedah taught simply, and taught soundly
Belief is where everything else rests, so it is taught first and taught carefully. Children learn the meaning of la ilaha illa Allah, that Allah alone is worshipped and asked, and that He is described as He and His Messenger described Him — without distortion and without likening Him to His creation. It is explained in language a child can hold on to, in keeping with what Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah have always taught.
Worship they can practise the same day
There is little use in a child knowing the conditions of prayer but being unsure how to perform it. Wudu and salah are taught practically, step by step, until your child can do them without prompting. The same applies to the daily adhkar, the manners of eating and greeting, and the etiquette of handling the Qur'an. Parents are told exactly what was covered so it can be encouraged at home.
The seerah, and the Companions who carried it
Children remember stories long after they forget lists. The life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is taught as a story they can follow, alongside the Companions who learned from him directly — may Allah be pleased with them all. The point is not dates but character: honesty, patience, courage and mercy, drawn from lives your child can picture and want to resemble.
A free trial lesson, with you watching
You are welcome to sit in on the trial lesson and see for yourself how your child is taught and spoken to. It is free, needs no card, and commits you to nothing. Lessons are one to one and kept short enough to suit a child's attention. If the teacher is not the right fit for your child, tell us and we will arrange another without any fuss.
