Islamic Studies

 

In compliance with the Ministry of Education requirements, Islamic Education is taught to all Muslim children, from Years 1 to 13  by  qualified and experienced teachers. Native Arabic speakers are instructed in Arabic whilst non Arabic speakers are instructed in English. A variety of resources, including text books, apps, learning websites and videos are used to cover the specific areas:

Islamic History and Civilisation
Holy Qur’an – Recitation and Memorisation
Seerah
Fiqh (Islamic Law)
Aqeedah
Akhlaq (Morals)
Quran recitation is encouraged and improved through a dedicated weekly session. With an emphasis on correct Tajweed and pronunciation, children are challenged to improve their recitation and memorisation and compete in Quran recitation competitions in and outside the school.  Using various activities and ICT, students have made exceptional progress in Quran Recitation.
Role play, debate, research and presentations are used to challenge the children to gain maximum understanding and develop a passion for Islamic lessons. Visits to local Mosques, Cultural Centres and guest speakers are planned to enliven the stories and capture the interest of the children, enabling them to learn ways in which Islam can have a positive impact on their life today. Key Islamic events are celebrated through assemblies and special celebrations..
The Muslim children at ADHS LLC are encouraged to be ambassadors for their Faith and to celebrate their unity through their diverse cultural backgrounds.
Our growing and dynamic Islamic Education department aims to nurture the Spiritual, Moral and Ethical development of Muslim students and is intrinsically linked to the school vision of providing a holistic based education in a caring and enlightened environment. We aim to raise the profile of Islamic Education and promote key Islamic values thereby fostering students to have the courage of their convictions and to develop a positive attitude.
Through stories from the Quran and the life of the Prophets (Peace Be up on Them), the students learn the values of respect, truthfulness, obedience and forgiveness as well as other core values. Self-reflection and critical analysis help the children to understand valuable lessons from the lives of the Prophets and key Historical Islamic events, in order to improve their own behaviour and actions. Asking questions and seeking answers are an intrinsic part of Islamic lessons where students are encouraged to express their thoughts & opinions in a safe & respectful environment.
