AN NAS CHILDREN’S ISLAMIC INSTITUTE

Providing Quranic Arabic and Islamic social studies to children ages 5-13 years.

The Children of the An Nas Children’s Islamic Institute learn the religion of Al-Islam through a variety of print materials and multi-media, coupled with fun and engaging activities via Zoom. We begin by establishing the idea of who the Creator is, the Creator of all things. Children learn about the five principles of Al-Islam and how they impact their daily lives. Once the children have begun to develop an understanding of their Creator and the five principals of Al-Islam, they then begin to learn about Prophet Muhammad (saw). We further establish a solid foundation for the children to understand the basic precepts Al-Islam and give them space for that understanding to grow as they learn. This introduction to Al-Islam will, Insha’Allah (G’d willing), whet the children’s appetite to further engage in their Islamic studies.

Beginner’s Quranic Arabic taught by Dr. Zayd Abdul-Karim (Dr. Z)

Tuesdays: 9:15am-10am

The Beginner’s Quranic Arabic course is a first step in the journey of learning to read the Qur’an with comprehension. It begins by instructing students how to pronounce letters, syllables, and words. The next step is pronouncing words found in the Qur’an. This course is a prerequisite as a foundation for additional further courses which include recognizing verb and noun patterns, verb forms, and grammar. Only serious students are encouraged to participate. No fee is required for this course.

 

Social Studies taught by Sister Zainab Nasir

Saturdays: 9:15am-10am

The children are provided with the all the learning materials required for this class; they are encouraged to take notes and ask questions. We administer monthly quizzes to test how well the children have retained what they’ve learned. The instructor takes this opportunity to home in on areas that may be difficult for the children to understand and helps them reinforce their understanding of the learning material. We learn much in the time we have together, and we also have an enjoyable time while learning. As an instructor, I enjoy what I do, and I LOVE teaching children, especially about the religion of Al-Islam.

We ask that families make a donation of $40 to help with stipends for the instructors. Donations can be sent directly via Venmo, @Haneefah-Peter or CASH APP $HaneefahShuaibe.
