The Qur’an curriculum consists of seven levels catering for all ages and abilities. All students will be assessed during registration and allocated to the appropriate level according to ability, age and knowledge.

Younger foundation level students will benefit from our specially made Al Haramain Arabic Phonetic Sounds book, which uses advanced Augmented Reality technology; combining audio and 3D imagery to bring excitement to learning. Students will enjoy interactive lessons with Alphabet Nasheeds, handwriting and art & craft activities.

Beginner level students will start by learning the correct pronunciation (Makharij Al Huruf) of the Arabic Alphabet and progress on to recognising joined letters to improve fluency and accuracy of reading. Students will practice reading portions from the Holy Qur'an through teacher-lead and one-to-one recitation.

As students advance, they will be taught essential Tajweed rules in stages and be assessed orally by our fully qualified and experienced teachers. Through understanding and application of the Tajweed rules, students will become more confident and independent in reading the Qur'an accurately.

Students who read confidently with fluency and application of Tajweed rules will be able to join the Hifdh (memorisation) levels. Taking a spiral approach, students will be set individual targets for memorisation and revision to strengthen and expand the memorisation capability gradually, with the aim to memorise the whole Qur’an.

Students will also benefit from high-profile, renowned Qur’an reciters who will visit the Al Haramain Madrasah, inspiring a passion to learn the Book of Allah Al Qur’an.

The Arabic Language is the key to unlocking the understanding of the Qur’an. Our Arabic Language syllabus is carefully designed with six levels to teach Fus-ha Arabic (Classical Qur'anic Arabic). Each student will be assessed during enrolment for any prior knowledge and assigned levels accordingly.

Younger foundation level students will be guided on the correct methodology of forming the letters of the Arabic Alphabet. Students will focus on learning the Alphabet and vocabulary relating to each letter.

Beginner level students will build their knowledge of Arabic vocabulary with a combination of written exercises (comprehension & handwriting) and oral exercises (conversation & role-play), aiming to build confidence as students practice what they learn.

As students advance, they will develop their vocabulary and build on their knowledge of Arabic grammar through reading and writing activities. With a focus on role play, students will not only put what they learn into the context of practical daily life, but by extension practice Islamic behaviour and etiquettes in a variety of scenarios.

The Islamic Studies curriculum at Al Haramain Schools takes a spiral approach to learning, where students revisit each area and study it in greater depth each year. There are a total of eight levels, each covering essential age-appropriate authentic knowledge according the Islamic requirements for each age group.

Younger students will explore basic principles of Emaan / Tawhid (Creed) through the Names and Attributes of Allah. Students will also be introduced to topics relating to the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (sws)and basic manners and morals through a variety of fun activities.

Children aged 7 and above will each be taught modules on Islam, Emaan, Tawhid (Creed), Ablution (Wudu), Prayers, Fasting, Hajj , Zakat, Islamic Mannerisms and the life of the Sahaba, through the explanation of Hadith, Qur'an (Tafseer) and Seerah. Each age group will cover topics in more detail. and teachers will place an emphasis on strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and Allah, as well as loving the Prophet Muhammad (sws) and his companions. Classes will be taught through discussions and practical examples of how to perform acts of worship correctly.

Tarbiyyah & Moral Studies is very unique to Al Haramain Schools and taught through inspirational assemblies and thought-provoking practical workshops. Students will be encouraged to reflect on each lesson thus paving the way to nurture a deep understanding of moral values. Through the stories in the Qur’an and authentic Hadith (Sunnah), this subject aims to develop exemplary Islamic character, manners, etiquettes, ethos and inter-personal skills.

Students will cover a range of topics, including but not limited to; happiness, respect, mercy, patience, gratitude, modesty, anger management, conflict resolution, generosity, humility, equality, honesty, friendship, true success, teamwork, sincerity, social conduct, time management, cleanliness, servitude (to Allah), forgiveness and full reliance on Allah.

In Level 1, children will begin exploring the Arabic Alphabet through phonetic sounds with our bespoke Arabic phonetic sounds book, crammed with fun reading, writing, plus arts and crafts activities, your child will become accustomed with the formations of every letter and their correct pronunciations, an essential aspect of reading with fluency.

It incorporates learning Makhārij (correct pronunciation) and rulings in a unique repetitive rhythm enabling children to learn quickly. Furthermore it is written in the same typography as Al Mus-haf Al Madinah making the transition to reading the Qur'an ever easier. For homework, your child will be required to watch Al Haramain Word Formation Videos which summarise each lesson of Al Qā’idah Al Nūraniyyah through animation.

Alongside learning to read, children will be memorizing Surahs from Juz 'Amma with careful monitoring on the correct pronunciation and application of the rules.

In this level we support students who need more practice in reading. Given that our Tajweed programmes are highly specialised, students who require a more slower paced study of essential Tajweed rules will be assigned this level to increase their fluency in reading with the application of rules that make a diffence to the recitation.

More emphasis is given on reading and students will be required to colour code rules learned in class. These exercises will ensure that your child has understood each rule well and will enable him/her to know when and how to apply the rules

This level is suitable for those children who are able to read with fluency. The students will become “friends” with the Arabic Alphabet by knowing every detail about them; where they live (Al Makhārij), what they are like (Al Sifāt) and what they like to do (Al Ahkām).

The medium that will be used to teach the rules of Tajweed is the classical poem Al Tuhfat Al Atfāl which translates as ‘The Beginner’s Bequest’. It was written by Imam Al Jamzūri for children to not only study the rules of recitation but to learn them by heart through poetry.

These exercises will ensure that your child has understood each chapter well and will enable him/her to be on the path to become a distinguished recitor of the Qur’an.

Students will be continuing their memorization of the Qur'an and encouraged to memorise Tuhfat Al Atfāl with close monitoring for accuracy and fluency.

Students will be continuing their memorization of the Qur'an and encouraged to memorise Tuhfat Al Atfāl with close monitoring for accuracy and fluency.

After having established the rules pertaining to the recitation of the Qur'an, the student will now be ready to tackle the poem 'Al Jazariyyah' in Level 4. Al Matn Al Jazariyyah is a famous poem on Tajweed and it covers the rules in more depth in comparison to Al Tuhfat Al Atfāl.

The student will continue with their memorisation of the Qur'an and will be encouraged to memorise the poem Al Jazariyyah by heart with close monitoring for accuracy and fluency.
