TEACHING APPROACH

Q School teaching method. The curriculum is
based on Ayatul Birr drawing knowledge from
the key strategies.
AYATUL BIRR
Q BELIEFS

KEY STRATEGIES

Prophets mentioned in Qur’an and ahadith.
M 14
Ma’sum (pl. Ma’sumeen) means the sinless or infallibles ones. When the Prophet (pbuh) recited the aya 33:33 he said: “Thus Me and my Ahlulbayt are clear from sins.”
AWESOME PEOPLE

Q KIDS
A variety of resources whichl help children explore the wonders of Divinity and learn about Islam in a fun way.
KEY STRATEGIES
Q DUA
Prayer in Islam is the foundation of communication with God forming a pivotal part of Muslim life used to sanctify everything from eating a meal to sighting the moon.
Q ETHICS
To be a good Muslims means to act ethically towards oneself, family, friends, neighbours, colleagues and strangers.
Q PILGRIMAGE
Ziyara (Commonly referred to as, Ziyarat) is a pilgrimage to sites associated with the Prophet (pbuh) and his progeny, their companions and Islamic scholars. Ziyara can also refer to sending salutations to them from afar.
A TYPICAL Q SCHOOL DAY
Assembly: Starts with knowing the current Islamic day and times of salaa on
the day, followed by a short discussion on current affairs and relevant calendar
event commemorated during that week.
Qur’an Recitation: Classes are ability based.
Qur’an Appreciation: Focuses on the Qur’an City methodology of learning
Qur’an.
Cross curricular: The focus of the day where all the areas of the curriculum are
integrated and connected within a theme. The themes become the critical
thinking binder that unifies seemingly unrelated information.
Salaa: Zhuhrayn Salaa is a lesson on its own where salaa is prayed in jamaa’a
for the older classes and as a class for the younger ones.
QUR’AN RECITATION
Q READ PROGRESSION
FAMILIARISATION OF SUWER NAMES
Link system memorisation
• Transform data into an image form and create
associations.
• To remember any number of things in
sequence, a vivid metal picture story called a
MNEMONIC assists memorisation.
• Focus points are used to ‘hook’ the story.
MNEMONICS
QUR’AN CITY
The Qur’an encourages investment in real estate in Janna. It is with this
encouragement that we decided to teach the structure of the Qur’an through
building a city with bricks.
The word ‘sur’ means an enclosure also referring to the defensive wall built
around a city.
QUR’AN CITY
With 114 buildings, Qur’an City is divided into 14 quadrants which circle
Muhammad City Centre and has a road network called M14* that links all the
quadrants with each other. *Representing the 14 Ma’sumeen who are the
necessary guidance to navigate Qur’an City. The placement of the buildings in
the quadrants are based on the names and/or opening of the suwer.

Q CALENDAR
Go back to the "What I want to be when I grow up". Discuss how whatever one wants to be; the mot
important aspect will be one's character. Talk about Imam Sajjad (pbuh) and the Aimma as one of our role
models. How we could incorporate Community Cohesion through majlis and dua.

possible about him.
HALLOWEEN (Holy Evening)
Discuss the 31st of October which in this country is Halloween. It is thought to have originated with the
ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off
roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honour all
saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The
evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween.
Discussion on religion vs tradition and honouring of saints and martyrs as we do in our calendar events.

skills and competencies in the student, and
routine practical activities which inculcate a
good working habit and culture.
