Comprehensive Qur’an & Islamic Sciences Program (In-Person)
Academic Year 2026–2027
Madrasa Al-Nashʾ Al-Ṣāliḥ offers a combined Qur’an and Islamic Sciences program tailored for children ages 6 to 11, a critical period when their capacity for memorization and learning is at its peak.
Program Overview
Students will devote a portion of their time to Qur’an instruction. At the beginning of the year, each student will be assessed and placed into a group with an assigned teacher based on his or her ability to read the Qur’an. Instruction will be tailored to each student's level, beginning with the Arabic alphabet, proper pronunciation (makhārij), the foundational rules of tajwīd, and basic recitation using Qaʿidah Nūrāniyyah or a similar introductory text. As students progress, they will develop fluency in reading directly from the muṣḥaf while learning and applying more advanced rules of tajwīd. Students who are ready will also begin memorizing selected portions of the Qur’an, with continued emphasis on accurate recitation, proper application of tajwīd, regular review, and retention.
Teachers will work with students on both Qur’an recitation and memorization. Memorization may be conducted collectively, with all students working on the same sūrah, or individually, with each student following a personalized memorization plan. The teacher of each group will determine the most suitable approach based on the abilities and needs of the students.
Alongside Qur'an memorization, students will build a firm grounding in the essential Islamic sciences, including ʿaqīdah, fiqh, hadith, daily supplications (duʿās), virtues, and inspiring stories of the Prophets and the righteous.
In ʿaqīdah, students will memorize Aqida al-Awam, with returning students who completed the poem and began Mashrab al-Ahna last year continuing from where they left off. Fiqh instruction will be tailored according to each student's knowledge of their madhhab (Shafi'i or Hanafi). Students with a solid grasp of the foundational rulings will proceed to learning the daily duʿās, while younger students or those needing reinforcement will first spend several weeks strengthening their understanding of essential rulings before advancing. Students will also memorize hadith from Mukhtar al-Hadith, a collection of hadith compiled by Habib Umar bin Hafiz.
Partnership with Parents
Success in this program relies on a strong partnership between Madrasa and home. While effective memorization techniques are employed during class, regular review and practice at home are essential. We recommend dedicating 5–6 hours per week outside of class for memorization and revision.
With this nurturing environment both at Madrasa and at home, every student can, in shāʾ Allāh, realize their full potential.
