Students will be taught the basic foundations of Islamic beliefs including the oneness of God, the role and importance of Prophethood & Imamah and finally the idea of the afterlife. In the Ethics and Morals module, students will understand the importance of adopting ethics in their life. We will then cover a range of practical life examples that the children can adopt in their everyday lives, such as dealing with elders, how to talk respectfully and how to avoid extravagance.

Word from the Course Director

It is important that young children living in the west have a basic overview of the islamic tenets. These core subjects will provide them with a great start to life and will allow them to build on their knowledge for years to come. I believe that children from a tender age should be exposed to this material to ensure they firmly begin to understand the world around them and the true meaning of life.

Faith is key but we must couple it with action and therefore children must be able to understand how to practise and apply their faith correctly. Finally Muslims living in this society must demonstrate a level of moral and ethical conduct, not only is this imperative as they contribute to a society which is founded on co-existence, but also because they are seen as important ambassadors of faith to the world.
