Course overview

A complete grounding in the deen — from the first pillar to daily practice

Most children can recite. Fewer can explain why they pray, what the Prophet ﷺ actually did in a moment of difficulty, or how to make wudu when the water runs out. Our Islamic Studies course closes that gap.

Every student begins with a short assessment session, then follows a curriculum built around their age, their existing knowledge and what their family wants them to take away. A seven-year-old learns the names of Allah through stories and pictures. A teenager works through the fiqh of prayer and the questions their classmates ask them at school. An adult or new Muslim starts from the pillars and builds towards reading classical texts with confidence.

Classes are live, one-to-one, and delivered in fluent English by teachers who studied at Al-Azhar. You receive a written progress report every month, so you always know exactly where your learner stands.
