IQRA Weekend Academy at ICJC offers Islamic education to children ages 5-13 (K-8). The Weekend Academy meets on Saturdays and Sundays (August – May) from 10:30 AM- 1:45 PM.

Students are divided into different groups according to their age. The curriculum is based on the Weekend Learning Publishers books.

Islamic Studies: The curriculum begins with a few topics on Allah, the Quran, the Prophet (SAW), the Hadith and Sunnah. In early years emphasis is given on the 5 pillars. The history of other Prophets is introduced in an age-appropriate manner. Several lessons are devoted to Islamic values to make the children grow up with a strong understanding of Islamic manners, values and morals. All the lessons are followed by homework.

In advanced classes, students are taught how to make Wudu, Salah and Adhkaar after Sala, including different types of Salah and their rulings.

Qur’anic Studies: Concentration is given to understanding the Quran. Students start with reciting and learning stories from the Quran and their lessons, including Surah Kahf, Surah Yusuf, Surah Mulk, Surah Yaseen etc.

As students advance to higher classes, they learn the meaning of the Surahs from Juz Amma word by word and a brief Tafseer of the Surah.

Seerah: Fundamental facts of the life of Rasulullah (SAW) and the Sahabah around him is taught up to Level 3. From Level 4 onwards, students will be learning in-depth Seerah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). The goal is to develop love for Rasulullah (SAW) in the hearts and minds of the students.

Break Time: Snacks are provided to the students by the IQRA Weekend Academy. They can also bring their own snacks. Weather permitting, the students will have the chance to go outside and play. All the students are supervised and watched by volunteers and teachers who ensure their safety.
