Islamic Studies for Kids — Faith, Manners & the Quran
A warm, age-appropriate introduction to Islam that goes beyond recitation — beliefs, prayer, manners and the stories that shape character.
What Your Child Will Learn
Duas & Worship
Everyday du'as and how to pray (salah), step by step.
Good Manners
Islamic manners (adab) and character (akhlaq) for everyday life.
Seerah & Stories
Stories of the Prophets and the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
- The six articles of faith (Iman) and five pillars of Islam, explained simply
- How to perform wudu and salah correctly, step by step
- Everyday du'as and adhkar — before eating, sleeping, travelling and more
- Short surahs and their meanings
- Building genuine love for Islam and the Quran, not just rote knowledge
This course is designed for children, and because classes are fully one-on-one, your child's teacher tailors both content and language to their age and level. Many families combine it with Qaida or Quran reading classes for a complete learning plan.
How Islamic Studies Lessons Work
Lessons are live and one-on-one, so the teacher can pitch every topic at your child's level. A five-year-old learning about wudu needs something very different from a ten-year-old asking why we pray five times a day. Teachers use stories, simple questions and plenty of repetition, and they keep linking what your child learns back to daily life at home.
Many families combine Islamic Studies with Quran reading. A child might spend part of the week on Noorani Qaida or Quran reading and part on Islamic Studies, so the two support each other.
What It Looks Like at Different Ages
Ages 4 to 6
Short du'as, the names of the five pillars, simple stories of the Prophets, and good manners like saying bismillah and salam.
Ages 7 to 9
Wudu and salah step by step, the six articles of faith, and the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ told as a story.
Ages 10 to 12
Why we believe what we believe, more of the Seerah, Ramadan and Hajj, and how Islamic manners apply at school and online.
Practising at Home Between Classes
What children learn in a lesson sticks when they use it at home. A few small habits help a lot: saying the du'a before eating together, letting your child lead you through wudu, or asking them to retell the story they heard in class at dinner. Our guides on teaching your child wudu, teaching kids to pray salah and helping your child practise between classes have more ideas.
