Program Overview
The After School Qur’an Program is tailored for school-going children who aspire to read and memorize portions of the Qur'an. This course begins with the Noorani Qa'idah (Arabic Alphabets and Spelling) and progresses to Nadhirah (Looking inside and reading the Qur’an) while teaching students the fundamental rules of Tajweed (Letter Pronunciation) and Tarteel (Slow and Measured Reading). At a minimum the last 22 Surahs are memorized with the meaning and theme of each surah. Islamic Studies is included in this program for all students who complete the Noorani Qa’idah.
Upon completion, the student will be able to read the Qur'an fluently, recite the last 22 Surahs (or more) from memory, all while adhering to the basic rules of Tajweed. Moreover, they will gain an understanding of select Surahs, as well as the basics of Islam, including Aqeedah (beliefs), Aadaab (etiquettes), and Tareekh (Islamic history). The course also covers Arabic writing, from basic letters and words to sentences and Surahs.
Qur’an Curriculum
The Qur'an curriculum is based on the teachings of Sheikh Noor Muhammed Ar-Ra’ee. We begin with the Noorani Qa’idah and then move on to The Last 3 Juz with Tajweed rules. Once completed, students can move onto Nadhirah (looking inside and reading) of the whole Qur’an while memorizing the smaller Surahs (Surah Al Duha to Al Naas).
While we do not provide estimates for the duration of a student’s Qur’anic journey (as every student learns differently). Typically, students will finish the Qa’idah and begin the Qur’an within 10 months of joining the program. Once students are reading Nadhirah fluently, they may set their own pace for reading and memorizing.
As a policy, we do not restrict students to a time limit of any kind.
Islamic Studies Curriculum
At House of Qur’an, we are dedicated to providing our students with the best Islamic education. We are constantly adapting our curriculum based on the needs of our students. Currently, we are using the Weekend Learning Curriculum put together by Muslim Academics.
The program commences at Kindergarten and culminates in the senior year of High School. This is to ensure that students are continuously engaging with Islamic academia and that the fundamentals of Islam are refreshed year to year.
Students begin by learning basic concepts of Islam such as Tawheed (the Oneness of God ﷻ), Al-Ghayb (the Unseen), and Nubuwwah (prophethood). But they will conclude by having had discussions on the nature of the Nafs (spiritual heart), Islam and post modernity, and most importantly, they will be confident in their faith in the face of Islamophobia and cultural regression .
