About the course

What Islamic Studies covers

Islamic Studies for Kids is a live online program that teaches children the essentials of their faith: basic beliefs (aqeedah), daily duas and dhikr, stories from the life of the Prophet (seerah), good manners (adab), and the five pillars of Islam. Lessons are short, interactive, and matched to the child's age, so a six-year-old and a twelve-year-old each learn the same essentials in ways that fit them.

Teachers use storytelling, questions, and simple real-life scenarios rather than lecture-style instruction. A lesson on honesty might begin with a story from the seerah, move into a what-would-you-do discussion, and end with a dua the child practises during the week. Memorisation is kept purposeful: children memorise the duas, kalimahs, and short texts they will actually use every day.

Parents receive a summary after each class describing what was covered and one small habit to encourage at home, such as saying the dua before eating. Over the levels, children build a connected picture of their religion: who Allah is, who His Messenger was, how a Muslim worships, and how a Muslim treats people.

Curriculum

What your child studies, level by level

  1. Level 1

    My Creator and My Prophet

    Children learn who Allah is, who the Prophet Muhammad was, and the words a young Muslim says every day.

    • Allah as the One Creator: simple aqeedah for young minds
    • The kalimahs and what they mean
    • Short daily duas: waking, eating, sleeping, and leaving home
    • Gentle first stories from the seerah
    • Saying bismillah, alhamdulillah, and insha'Allah in daily life
  2. Level 2

    How a Muslim Worships

    Children learn the five pillars and the everyday practices of worship step by step.

    • The five pillars of Islam explained simply
    • Wudu step by step with practice at home
    • How to pray: positions, words, and meanings
    • Ramadan, fasting, and the joy of Eid
    • The six articles of faith in child-friendly language
    • More duas and short surahs used in prayer
  3. Level 3

    Character and Community

    Children study the Prophet's life in fuller detail and learn the manners of a good Muslim.

    • Key events of the seerah from birth to Madinah
    • Stories of the companions and what they teach us
    • Adab: honesty, kindness, respect for parents and elders

Islamic Studies for kids

Topics your child will cover

Alongside Quran reading, children learn the faith they will live by: what Muslims believe, how we worship and how we treat people. Lessons are one-to-one and matched to your child's age.

  • An open Quran on a wooden rehal glowing under a starry night sky with a crescent moon, lanterns and a mosque

  • A young boy in a white kufi making dua with raised hands on a rug at home, with a Quran, tasbih and dates nearby

    Daily Duas & Dhikr

    The duas for waking, eating, sleeping, travelling and leaving home, learned with their meanings and used every day.

    From age 4
  • A young boy in a white kufi standing in prayer on a prayer mat beside a wudu area with a brass jug

    Wudu & Salah

    Wudu step by step, then the positions, words and meanings of prayer, practised until your child can pray on their own.

    From age 6
  • A prayer mat, dates, a charity box, a model Kaaba and a Quran on a rehal, labelled with the five pillars of Islam

    The Five Pillars

    Shahadah, prayer, fasting, zakat and Hajj, with Ramadan and Eid brought to life as each one comes round.

    From age 5

    The Prophet's life from Makkah to Madinah, told as stories with a lesson your child can take into their week.

    From age 5
  • An open storybook with scenes from the stories of the Prophets rising from its pages, including the ark and the fire

    Stories of the Prophets

    Adam, Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Yusuf and more, the stories children love most and the faith and patience they teach.

FAQ

Islamic Studies: common questions

What age should my child start Islamic studies?
Around age four or five is a good starting point for gentle, story-based lessons, and any age up to twelve fits comfortably in the program. Teachers adjust vocabulary, pace, and activities to the child, so older beginners are never made to feel behind.
Can this course run alongside Quran reading classes?
Yes, and this pairing is our most popular arrangement for children. Many families schedule Quran reading on some days and Islamic studies on others, often with coordinated teachers. The two courses reinforce each other, since children begin recognising duas and surahs across both classes.
How do you keep young children engaged in an online class?
Classes are short, one-on-one, and built around interaction: stories with questions, drawing and matching activities, role-play scenarios, and small weekly missions like teaching a dua to a sibling. Because the teacher's attention is never divided, children stay involved far more than in large group settings.
Which school of thought or curriculum does the course follow?
The course teaches the essentials agreed upon across mainstream Sunni scholarship: core beliefs, the pillars of worship, authentic duas, and the seerah. Where practices vary between schools of jurisprudence, teachers follow the family's preference for practical matters such as prayer details, so learning at home stays consistent.
