Memorising the Qur’an is also generally easier at a younger age and that is why at Baytul Ilm, we offer a comprehensive hifdh programme based on trusted classical methodologies whilst catering for individual student’s needs by tailoring our approach accordingly. The course commences with ensuring the student has first met the required ‘tajweed’ standard, through to completion of the memorisation of the complete Qur’an.
Islamic Curriculum
This course is based on the classical curriculum and is delivered by fully qualified teachers. It is tailored to the individual needs of our students and aims to provide religious teachings within the appropriate contemporary contexts. There is an emphasis on core fundamentals relating to aqeedah, fiqh and general topics with a focus on building a strong foundation in the disciplines and gaining an appreciation of the underlying principles in the respective science.
