Who are the Islamic studies classes for kids for?

The classes are for children, from young learners to teens. Topics fit the age: stories for the young, belief and worship for older ones. Teens aged 13 to 17 can also take Islamic studies for teens.

Every lesson is one-to-one. Murouj matches your child with a suitable teacher, girls are taught by female teachers, and the first class is a free trial.

Who is this course for?

• Young children

  Short lessons with stories, pictures and repetition, from teachers qualified to teach children from age 4.

• Primary-school children

  The pillars of Islam, how to pray and the stories of the prophets.

• Teens

  Explore the reasons behind what Muslims believe and do, and ask questions.

• Girls

  Always a female teacher. For boys, Murouj matches a male or female teacher.

What will you learn?

Your teacher builds a personalized curriculum from these stages, starting from your level.

1. Beliefs ('aqidah)

   • The six pillars of faith
   • Who Allah is, taught simply
   • Angels, books, messengers and the Day of Judgement

2. Worship (fiqh of 'ibadah)

   • Wudu and salah, step by step
   • Fasting, zakat and Hajj

3. The Prophet ﷺ and the prophets (sirah)

   • The life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
   • Stories of the prophets and early Islamic history

4. Manners and character (akhlaq and adab)

   • Honesty, kindness and respect for family
   • Daily du'as and manners

5. The Quran in daily life

   • Short surahs and their meanings

Milestones along the way

• Explain the pillars of faith and of Islam in their own words
• Make wudu and pray correctly
• Tell the stories of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and other prophets
• Use everyday du'as and manners
• Understand how Islam guides daily life

How fast you progress depends on your starting point, age, weekly classes and practice. Your teacher sets a plan after the free trial class and reviews it with you.

What does an Islamic studies lesson for kids look like?

A lesson mixes a short explanation, a story or example, practice and a quick review. On wudu, your child hears why purity matters, follows each step on the whiteboard and explains it back. See the rules of Islam and stories of the prophets.

How do the classes work?

• One-to-one, never in a group

  Questions get real answers, at your child's pace.

• A plan for your child's age

  Topics, stories and examples are chosen for age and level.

• Matched for you

  Murouj matches a suitable teacher for your child's free trial class and switches if the fit is not right. Never random.

• Zoom, Google Meet or Halqora

  Live around school, in your time zone, on Zoom, Google Meet or Halqora, Murouj's classroom software. Never recorded.

Lessons are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, with the number a week agreed when you book (see the class plans page). For times in your time zone, see our pages for the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia.
