Why Hifdh?

​

We are one of the few Saturday schools offering Hifdh as a stand-alone subject. We think this is very important as evidenced by the following hadith: 

Al Tirmidhi (2914) & Abu Dawood (1464) narrated from Abdullah Ibn Amr that the Prophet ﷺ said: “It will be said to the companions of the Quran: Recite and rise in status, recite as you used to recite in the world, for your status will be the last verse that you recite.”

 

This is a progressive programme of individual Quran memorisation. It is aimed at students from the age of 4 years to 16 years old but can be utilised by students of any age.  It provides a strong foundation for continued memorisation and the understanding of the Quran.  Memorisation will be taught using tried and tested techniques, while incorporating games and competitions to incentivise and motivate the students to learn more. The programme will include Tafseer, the explanation of the Quranic meaning and context of revelation. This really brings the study of the Quran to life and engages the student completely.

How are the Hifdh Classes taught?

 

The hifdh lessons are taught in small class sizes which are divided into smaller groups, headed by dedicated teachers. After initial assessment the hifdh programme is tailored to each student.

 

Small groups mean the teacher can give extra support and help to each student where needed, closely monitoring progress. Memorising in groups with other children who are at the same level creates healthy competition and encouragement from their peers.
