Quran Hifdh
Full-Time Hifdh Program
The Full-Time Hifz Program aims for serious students to complete Hifz al-Qur’an according to the tenets of tajweed and tarteel. During these years, the primary focus will be on memorization of Qur’an and learning Islamic obligations (fard ‘ayn)
Admission Policy
Admission to the Full-Time Hifz Program is based on the following:
Students are admitted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Interested students typically begin preparation in 3rd grade, after they have completed one full reading of the Qur'an with proper tajweed through the Nazira program.
A student begins the program officially after completing the memorization of Juz 'Amma (30th part of the Quran) after the Nazira program.
New or transferred students interested in joining the Full-Time Hifz Program must pass a nazira (reading) test and are accepted only with the approval of the Hifz teacher.
Student’s acceptance will be conditional, based upon behavior and performance. If this is not met, the school reserves the right to remove the child from the program.
Students who register after the classes have been filled will be placed on a waiting list and will be contacted if and when space becomes available.
Hifdh Curriculum
Islamic Studies
The Islamic studies class consists of weekly lessons in `aqeedah (beliefs), akhlaaq (character), taareekh (history), and hadith (sayings of the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him). In addition, each student will be taught essential components of tahaarah (purification) and salaah required for daily Muslim life.
Tajweed - Qira'ah
Learning proper recitation of the Qur'an is necessary and an obligation on every Muslim. The Tajweed-Qira'ah class is dedicated to improve each student's recitation of the Qur'an according to the rules of tajweed and Hafs qira'ah. There is also an emphasis on preparing for public recitation.
Secular Studies
Although the primary goal of the Hifz Program is memorization of the Qur'an, some time is allotted towards continuing secular studies. The Secular Studies class is a bare-bone continuation of Reading and Mathematics. Parents are expected to make their own arrangements for any other secular studies they feel are necessary.
