PART-TIME HIFTH

Let your child/ward benefit from this part-time Hifth programme.

APPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING

A robust foundation in Islamic education undoubtedly strengthens an individual’s Imaan (belief) and identity to be a committed and practising Muslim, able to navigate society and continually seek Taqwa (consciousness of Allah).

With this as a driving belief, we prioritise teaching that harnesses the richness of Islamic education, foreground pedagogies of Tarbiyah (nurturing), and highlight the ethic of care and Akhlaaq (moral character) in our approaches.

We aim to foster and engender a consciousness of and love for Allah SWT, and our beloved Rasool SAW that must mold the character of our learners.

CURRICULUM AND SYLLABUS

Our curriculum experiences are designed to equip learners with a dynamic Islamic education appropriate to their academic, cognitive and social levels.

The syllabus has been developed to include learning areas and topics that equip young Muslims, aid in Muslim identity, and guide them to face challenging societal trends and movements that contradict Islam.

The ISFY Programme will have a particular focus on Hifth and Tafseer (memorization and understanding of the Quran); and the programme syllabus will broadly be drawn from the following Islamic learning areas and subjects:

Quranic Studies (including Tilaawah, Tajweed, Hifth and Tafseer)
Contemporary Aqeedah (belief) issues
Fiqh and Contemporary Jurisprudence (taught and explored according to Shafi and Hanafi schools)
Hadeeth (narrations of the Prophet SAW)
Islamic History and Seerah
Islamic Social Science (exploring Muslim identity formulation in South African contexts and Muslim leadership)

PROGRAMME DURATION

The Islamic Studies for Youth (ISFY) Programme does not have a fixed duration. The core Islamic Studies syllabus will be offered on a year-levelled basis, i.e., Year 1, Year 2, and so forth. The Hifth is based on the individual progress of the learner.
