Curriculum/Program

Qur‘aan

Traditionally, in Islaamic societies, the first education that children received was memorizing the Qur‘aan. Darul Amaanah continues this tradition as the memorization of Islaam’s Holy Scripture is given the utmost attention. Each year, students memorize two parts of the thirty that make up the Qur‘aan. Qur‘aanic studies also include commentary of the Qur‘aan (Tafseer) and the science of recitation (Tajweed). Hadeeth

In this introductory study of hadeeth, the students’ skills in Arabic Language are strengthened as they memorize hadeeth from the curriculum of the Islaamic University of Medinah second level of the Arabic Program. Vocabulary is increased and Arabic grammar skills are reinforced as students committee to memory the sayings of the Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu‘ alaihi wa sallem). Islaamic Studies

The Islaamic Studies Program is unique and comprehensive. It stresses Islaamic tradition, heritage, and identity.
