This course gives children aged 5 to 14 a clear foundation in Islam: what Muslims believe (Aqeedah), how they worship through the Five Pillars, the stories of the Prophets, and the manners and daily duas that shape everyday life.

Lessons are live and online, and are grouped into three age bands (5–7, 8–11, and 12–14) so each child learns at a level that suits them. No previous knowledge is needed.

  • Diagnostic recitation & personal plan in week one
  • Theory always followed by applied tilawah
  • Graduation into the Practical or Ijazah track
HOW THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED

One Clear Path From First Lesson To Firm Foundation

This Islamic Studies course for kids is divided into four progressive modules, each with a clear focus, its own practical exercises, and a short end review, so your child always knows exactly where they stand.

1

Beliefs And Who We Are (Aqeedah)

Children learn the six pillars of Iman, from belief in Allah and His angels to the Day of Judgement, through short Quranic stories that make each belief easy to picture and remember.

2

Worship And The Five Pillars (Ibadah)

Students learn the five pillars of Islam: Shahadah, Salah, Zakat, Sawm, and Hajj. The course gives special attention to Salah, including the correct steps, the duas recited in prayer, and common mistakes to avoid. Practical exercises help turn what children know into habits.

3

Islamic Character And Daily Life (Akhlaq And Adab)

This module covers Islamic manners: how to treat parents and neighbours, eating etiquette, and daily duas. Children practise these habits in everyday situations, not only learn them as rules.

4

Prophets, History, And The Story Of Islam

Children study the Prophets, from Adam (peace be upon him) to Muhammad ﷺ, focusing on the lesson each story carries for young Muslims today. The module ends with guided practice in answering common questions children hear about Islam, so an intro to Islam for kids turns into confident understanding.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE

What Your Child Will Be Able To Do After This Course

Every outcome below is something your child can show you, explain to a friend, or apply in a real situation.

Name and Explain the Six Pillars of Iman

Your child names the six pillars of Iman in order and explains what each one means in their own words, not only reciting them. Teachers check this in a short end-of-unit Q&A where children explain each pillar without notes.

Skills are verified through a short end-of-unit Q&A: children explain each pillar to their teacher without notes, confirming the basic knowledge of Islam for kids is fully understood and retained.

Explain the Five Pillars of Islam

Your child can explain the meaning and purpose of each pillar and walk through the steps of Salah in the correct order, including the duas recited in each position. Teachers check this by asking children to describe each pillar and how it connects to daily life.

This skill is verified when children walk their teacher through each pillar without prompts and explain, in their own words, how each one connects to daily life and Muslim identity.

Recite and Understand Daily Duas

Your child learns the daily duas for waking, sleeping, eating, starting Wudu, and entering the home, along with the meaning of each. Teachers check that your child can recite each dua and explain what it means.

Mastery is confirmed when children recite each Dua correctly and explain its meaning to their teacher — this practical check ensures the intro to Islam for kids goes beyond Arabic words.

Practise Islamic Manners in Real Situations

Children learn Islamic manners through real scenarios, such as greeting a neighbour, responding to unkindness, eating etiquette, and speaking to elders. Teachers check this through short role-plays where children show the correct response.

Skills are verified through structured role-play exercises: children demonstrate the correct response in real situations, showing that this intensive Islamic course for kids produces genuine habits, not just homework answers.

Retell The Stories Of The Prophets With Their Lessons

Your child retells the stories of key Prophets, from Adam (peace be upon him) to Muhammad ﷺ, and names the lesson in each one. Teachers check this by asking children to retell a story and share its lesson without notes.

Mastery is checked when children retell a Prophet’s story and name its key lesson without notes, confirming the basics of Islam for kids extend well beyond facts into meaningful understanding.

Answer Common Questions About Their Faith

Your child learns to answer the questions about Islam they may meet at school, from why Muslims pray five times a day to what Islam teaches about Isa (Jesus), peace be upon him. Teachers check this in a final session of live questions.

Confidence is measured in a final session where children answer real-world faith questions live, confirming Duha’s Islamic Studies course for kids has built conviction they can carry beyond the classroom.
