Islamic Studies Course
Reciting the Quran is one part of practice. This course covers the rest — praying correctly, the duas for daily life, and the story of the Prophet ﷺ, taught at a level suited to the student's age.
Overview
The practice that surrounds the recitation
A child can memorise several juz and still not know how to perform wudu correctly, or which dua to say before eating. It happens more often than most parents expect, because Quran classes and practical Islamic knowledge are usually treated as separate things and only the first one gets scheduled.
This course covers the practical foundation: purification and prayer taught step by step, the duas for daily situations, the pillars of Islam and Iman, and the life of the Prophet ﷺ told in stages appropriate to the student's age. It is deliberately practical — the aim is that a student can pray correctly and unprompted, not that they can recite definitions.
For younger children the pace is gentle and story-driven, with the Seerah told as narrative and duas learned a few at a time with their meanings. Older students and adults cover the same ground with more depth: the reasoning behind rulings, the context of events in the Seerah, and how the pillars connect to daily decisions.
Classes are one-to-one, so questions get answered properly. Children ask things in a private class that they would never raise in a group, and adults returning to structured learning after years away can start from genuine basics without embarrassment.

this course
Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp and a coordinator will answer the same day.
Ask a coordinator →What age is this course suitable for?
From about five upward. Content, pace and depth are matched to the student, so a seven-year-old and a thirty-year-old cover the same topics very differently.
Can adults take this course?
Yes, and many do — often alongside Nazra. Adults typically move faster and go deeper into the reasoning behind each ruling.
Which language is it taught in?
English or Urdu, whichever you prefer. Duas are taught in Arabic with the meaning explained in your chosen language.
Is this suitable for new Muslims?
Yes. The course assumes no prior knowledge and teachers are used to starting from the very beginning, patiently and without judgement.
Which school of thought is followed?
Teaching follows mainstream Sunni scholarship. Where schools differ on practical matters, your teacher can teach according to the one your family follows — just tell us when enrolling.
Can this be combined with a Quran course?
Yes, and most families do exactly that — Nazra or Hifz three days a week and Islamic Studies two days. Family packages cover two children in the same class.
Do you offer female teachers?
Yes, qualified female teachers are available for sisters and for young children, at no additional cost.
