Quick answer

Our kids Islamic studies classes teach children the daily duas, the method of Salah (Namaz), the Kalimas and short Surahs for prayer, in short, friendly one-to-one lessons. They are usually taught alongside the child's Quran classes, so children learn to read and to practise at the same time.

What do children learn?

  • Daily duas: before eating, before sleeping, leaving home, entering the masjid and more.
  • Namaz: wudu, the positions of Salah and what to recite in each.
  • Kalimas and their meanings.
  • Short Surahs from Juz Amma for use in prayer.
  • Islamic manners: greeting with salaam, respect for parents and kindness.

How do we keep young children interested?

Lessons are short and active, with repetition, questions and praise. Children memorise by understanding what a dua means and when to say it, so they use it in daily life.

Can it be combined with Quran classes?

Yes, and most families do this. A child learning Noorani Qaida or Nazra spends part of each class on duas or Namaz.

Frequently asked questions

At what age should children learn Namaz?

Many families begin teaching the steps of Salah gently from around age 7, and younger children can start with wudu and short duas.

Is this a separate class?

It can be, but most children learn duas and Namaz as part of their regular Quran class.
