Course
Islamic Studies for Kids
التربية الإسلامية للأطفالSalah, wudu, daily duas, the life of the Prophet ﷺ, and good character — taught at a child's pace, with stories they will actually remember.
Course overview
Reading the Quran is one half of a child's Islamic education; living as a Muslim is the other. This course covers the practical half — how to make wudu and pray, the duas for daily life, the stories of the prophets, and the manners and character the faith asks of us — in a warm, unhurried way that children between five and thirteen genuinely enjoy. Most families pair it with a reading course: one class of each, alternating days.
What we teach
- Perform wudu and the five daily prayers correctly and independently
- Memorise the essential daily duas with their meanings — waking, eating, leaving home, sleeping
- Know the six pillars of iman and five pillars of Islam with age-appropriate understanding
- Learn the life of the Prophet ﷺ and stories of the prophets as living examples
- Practise honesty, kindness to parents, and good manners as taught habits, not lectures
What your student walks away with
- A child who prays correctly on their own and knows why they pray
- A stock of memorised duas woven into the day's routine
- Familiarity and warmth toward the Seerah — names, events, and lessons retold in their own words
Curriculum at a glance
| Level 1 (ages 5–7) | Wudu, the words of salah, first duas, and stories of the prophets told simply |

| Level 3 (ages 11–13) | Seerah continued, everyday fiqh (halal and haram basics), character studies, and an introduction to the Companions |
| Every level | Weekly dua memorisation and a short manners focus — one habit at a time |
What does a child actually learn?
The honest goal of this course is a child who, by their early teens, prays five times a day correctly and unprompted, knows the duas that belong to daily life, and carries the stories of the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions the way children carry the stories they love — retellable, vivid, and theirs.
To get there we teach in three strands, woven through every level:
- Practice — wudu, salah, and duas, physically rehearsed on camera until they are habits. The teacher watches a child actually make wudu (sleeves rolled, at the family sink) rather than just describing it.
- Story — the prophets, the Seerah, and the Companions, told as stories first and lessons second. A child who loves the story of Yusuf will keep its patience lesson for life; a child lectured about patience will keep neither.
- Character — one habit at a time, small and concrete: this month, greeting parents with salaam; next month, telling the truth when it costs something. Parents get a quiet heads-up so home and class reinforce each other.
How do levels work?
Children join by age but progress by readiness. Each level is roughly a year of twice-weekly classes, with a gentle review at the end — conversational, not an exam — before moving up. A ten-year-old starting fresh begins in Level 2 with a few weeks of Level 1's practical material folded in; the one-to-one format makes this kind of tailoring routine.
What do parents see?
A short WhatsApp note each week: what was covered, this week's dua, and the current character habit. Nothing that requires you to teach — just enough that when your child says the travel dua unprompted in the car, you know where it came from and can catch the moment.
Twice a year, the teacher writes a fuller progress note: what is solid, what is still forming, and what they recommend next. Families who started "just for salah" often extend into the Seerah levels on the strength of these notes.
A note on tone
Children meet religion through the adults who teach it to them. Our teachers are chosen for warmth as much as knowledge, and the standing instruction across this course is simple: a child should leave every class liking Islam a little more than when they arrived. Fear-based teaching has no place here; there is nothing in wudu, salah, or the Seerah that needs it.
Questions parents ask about this course
My child already goes to a weekend Islamic school. Is this redundant?
Often the two work well together — weekend schools give community, while one-to-one classes give attention. In the trial class the teacher will assess what your child already knows and either fill gaps or tell you honestly that your weekend school has it covered.
How do you keep young children engaged on a video call?
Short segments, lots of back-and-forth, stories with questions inside them, and a teacher trained to notice drifting attention. Thirty minutes is deliberately the limit — we would rather end a class with a child wanting more than push to forty-five and lose the last fifteen.
Is the course taught in English or Urdu?
Either, matched to your child. For families abroad we often teach in English with the Arabic terms kept in Arabic — so a child learns "wudu" and "salah" as themselves, with English explanation around them.
