Al-Rushd’s onsite Madrassah provides an excellent Islamic environment for your child to study in. The direct communication and interaction of the students with their teachers helps in identifying the students’ weaknesses thereby allowing the teachers to focus on them accordingly. Similarly, it also boosts the student’s confidence and speaking power .The onsite Madrassah covers a number of topics; Arabic Language, Quran, Islamic Studies, Moral Studies and Tarbiyyah.

Qaidah:
The Madrassah starts with Qaidah, which primarily focuses on recognition, articulation and pronunciation of the letters. At this step, the students learn to get comfortable with the Arabic script and become confident in spelling words and phrases. The Qaidah is the first and the most important step for learning correct recitation. Mastering the Qaidah results in learning the perfect recitation of the Holy Quran.
Juz Amma:
Once the students have mastered the Qaidah, they move on to the recitation, starting from Juz Amma, progressing to the complete the Holy Quran. The teachers keep a close eye on the students’ tajweed and fluency to ensure they are following the rules of recitation correctly.
Surahs and Duas:
The students are also taught everyday Duas and Surahs and encouraged to make a habit of practically reciting them at their respective dues. Surah memorization starts from short Surahs from Juz Amma, gradually progressing to selected longer Surahs such as Surah Mulk and Surah Yasin.
Tarbiyyah:
For building Islamic knowledge and intellect, students are taught Islamic history, manners, Sirah of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and Islamic beliefs and principles.

The children are taught in a very enjoyable and interactive manner by combining modern teaching methods with traditional texts. Our aim here is to cultivate exemplary Islamic character so that the children grow well-grounded on Islamic principles to foster love not just for the religion but also for the Islamic community around them. The students are educated with a holistic and Tarbiyyah based approach; besides learning obligatory Islamic knowledge, it is also fundamental to build emotional intelligence. Our program is designed with meaningful and structured lessons which have bespoke fun activities and clear objectives to keep the students indulged in learning Islamic values without building any stress.

Madrasah Curriculum & Learning Structure

Qur'an

Qur’an Studies in our Madrasah focuses on the comprehensive understanding and recitation of the Holy Qur’an. Students are taught the correct pronunciation and intonation (Tajweed) to ensure their recitation meets the standards set by traditional Islamic scholars. Emphasis is placed on memorization (Hifz) for those who wish to commit the Qur’an to memory, along with translation and Tafseer to help students understand the meanings and contexts of the verses, promoting a deeper connection and application in their daily lives.

Tajweed

Tajweed is the art of reciting the Qur’an with proper pronunciation and intonation. In our Madrasah, students learn the rules of Tajweed to ensure their recitation is accurate and melodious. The curriculum covers the articulation points (Makharij) of the Arabic letters, the characteristics of the letters (Sifaat), and the various rules for elongation (Madd), pauses (Waqf), and assimilation (Idgham). Through rigorous practice and guided recitation, students develop the skills to recite the Qur’an beautifully and correctly.

Arabic Language

Arabic Language courses in our Madrasah aim to equip students with the linguistic skills necessary to understand the Qur’an and classical Islamic texts. The curriculum includes reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension skills, starting from the basics of the Arabic alphabet and grammar to more advanced studies of Sarf. By mastering Arabic, students can access a wealth of Islamic knowledge and engage with the Qur’an in its original language.

Islamic Studies

Islamic Studies encompasses a wide range of subjects aimed at providing students with a thorough understanding of Islam’s teachings and practices. The curriculum covers Aqeedah (creed), Fiqh (jurisprudence), Seerah (biography of the Prophet Muhammad), Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet), and Islamic history. Students learn about the pillars of Islam and Iman, the moral and ethical guidelines of Islam, and the application of Islamic principles in contemporary life. This holistic approach ensures students are well-rounded in their knowledge and practice of Islam.

Duas and Surahs Memorisation

Du’as and Surah Memorisation classes focus on teaching students essential supplications (du’as) and short chapters (surahs) from the Qur’an. Students learn the words, meanings, and occasions for reciting these du’as, which are integral to daily prayers and various aspects of a Muslim’s life. Memorizing these surahs and du’as helps students in their personal worship and spiritual growth, reinforcing their connection to Allah through regular recitation and reflection.

Tarbiyyah and Moral Studies

Tarbiyyah & Moral Studies in our Madrasah aim to cultivate good character and ethical behavior in students, based on Islamic values. The curriculum includes lessons on honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion, and other virtues that are essential for personal development and community harmony. Through stories of the Prophets, examples from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, and practical exercises, students learn how to embody these values in their daily lives. This holistic approach ensures that students not only gain knowledge but also develop into morally upright individuals who contribute positively to society.
