HIFDH PROGRAM

Madrasa Al-Nash' Al-Ṣāliḥ is intended for children aged 6 to 11, a period during which their remarkable ability to memorize and retain information is at its peak.

Our Madrasa Hifdh Program is designed to facilitate the memorization of the Quran, Hadith, invocations, and foundational texts of the Islamic tradition. While Quran memorization has always been a part of Madrasa, our renewed focus is on prioritizing Hifdh al-Quran, starting with our morning program and followed by other Islamic sciences that also involve memorization.

The Madrasa's Hifdh Program is geared towards the optimal time for memorization, the early hours after the Fajr prayer when minds are alert and fresh.

Allah ﷻ encourages us in the Quran:

 "And recite the Quran during the Fajr. Verily, the recitation of the Quran during Fajr is ever witnessed." 

(17:78)

The Prophet ﷺ stated: "It is witnessed by the angels of the night and the day." (Sunan Ibn Majah)

Our objective is to embed this sunna in the lives of our students, their families, and the wider community, with the Hifdh program being offered three days a week, Tuesday through Thursday, from 6:30 am to 8:00 am. During these sessions, students will focus primarily on Hifdh al-Quran, followed by classes in Hadith, Fiqh, and 'Aqida.

To achieve success in the Hifdh Madrasa program, collaboration with parents and a consistent routine at home are essential to enable each student to realize their full potential. While Madrasa teachers employ various teaching techniques to aid students' learning and memorization during class, it's important to recognize that memorization necessitates regular repetition and review.

We recommend parents help their children allocate at least 5-6 hours per week to memorization and review at home. We view parents as our partners in education and strive to provide them with all the necessary resources to support their child(ren) in learning and memorizing the material.

We firmly believe that each student can achieve their highest potential at Madrasa with an optimal learning environment both in the classroom and at home.


MADRASA RAWHA PROGRAM

The second component of the Madrasa program for this academic year is the afternoon Rawha. A Rawha is traditionally a class that takes place in the late afternoon or early evening, focusing on subjects related to Islamic spirituality. This time of the day is particularly blessed, as the provisions for hearts are being distributed.

The Rawha class will occur once a week. The Madrasa’s Rawha encompasses an Islamic science component along with an interactive session to encourage student engagement with their peers. Additionally, the class will feature guest speakers and activity days. These sessions will take place every Wednesday afternoon from 4:00 pm to 5:15 pm.

Please note: While we strongly encourage students to enroll in both the Madrasa Hifdh and Rawha programs, understanding that together they constitute the Madrasa program for the year, we acknowledge that some students may face constraints in participating in both. As such, enrollment in both programs is not mandatory. While the two components will complement each other, attendance in one will not impact students' performance or comprehension in the other. Please be aware that the registration process remains the same regardless of whether students are enrolling in one or both programs.
