Islamic Explorers

---

This Islamic Studies Programme is designed to nurture children through a structured and engaging introduction to Islām. The programme aims to develop a strong Islamic identity, love for Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ, good character, and a practical understanding of everyday Islamic living.

Lessons are delivered in an interactive manner and combine learning, discussion, storytelling, reflection, and practical activities. The curriculum gradually builds foundational knowledge in:

- Aqīdah (Islamic Beliefs)

- Fiqh (Worship and Everyday Practice)

- Sīrah & Islamic History

- Personal Character Development and Islamic Mannerism

The programme encourages students to develop good habits, confidence in practising Islām, and respect for others from an early age.

The curriculum is structured progressively and includes:

- Foundational Islamic beliefs and practice

- Prophetic history and the lives of the Ṣaḥābah

- Worship and practical rulings (Fiqh)

- Personal development and Islamic character

- Understanding contemporary Muslim life

Lessons are delivered through engaging teaching methods including storytelling, discussion, reflection, and practical application.

Year 2 builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in Year 1 by strengthening understanding of Islamic beliefs, worship, manners, and the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Students begin to connect Islamic teachings with daily life and behaviour.
