History of Maktabs
An-Noor Academy provides religious guidance to the Muslim youth of Montreal. One of the most important aspects for the Muslim community currently is Islamic education . An-Noor Academy has now started to conduct the Maktab Program in order to enhance religious education for Muslim children. By the grace of Allah, our curriculum has been accepted by many individuals and organizations who have implemented and helped to improve the curriculum to meet the needs of our youth during this time and age.
By implementing our syllabus, students would learn to recite the Holy Qur’an with Tajweed, and memorize part of it. They will also learn Arabic, Hadith, Tarbiyah, Aqaa’id, Masaa’il, etc. with relative ease. This method enables students to absorb more education in less amount of time. Moreover, students could choose the time most suitable for class, as well as spend only 1.5 hours per day, 5 days a week. The syllabus is designed in such a way so as enabling the students to learn at least one new thing every day.
The teachers too have been provided with a Teachers’ Guide to help them prepare for the impending classes. The most exclusive feature of this syllabus is its uniformity. The subjects have been divided into days, weeks and months which enable the teachers as well as the parents to monitor the progress easily. At the end of every lesson a questionnaire is provided to enable the students to view where they stand in their studies. Authenticity of contents have been strictly monitored in the syllabus and has been mentioned where necessary. Text books have been designed in a colorful and pleasant way to interest the children. A prayer time table is also included at the end of the text books in order to inspire the student to fulfill this important obligation.
