Tell the Seerah as stories
Young children don’t need dates and battles first. Start with stories they can picture: the Prophet’s ﷺ childhood as an orphan, his honesty that earned him the name al-Amin, his kindness to children and animals. Older children can follow the story of Makkah, the Hijrah and Madinah in order.
Teach the Sunnah through daily life
- Saying Bismillah before eating and eating with the right hand.
- The duas for waking up, sleeping, leaving the house and entering it.
- Smiling, greeting with salam, and helping at home.
- Honesty, patience and kindness to neighbors.
Pick one Sunnah a week, practice it together, and talk about where it comes from.
Match the topic to the age
- Ages 5–7: short stories, simple duas, manners.
- Ages 8–10: the Seerah in order, the pillars of Islam, wudu and salah.
- Ages 11–12: lessons from the Seerah for school and friendships, questions about faith.
Let them ask anything
Children growing up abroad meet questions at school that their parents never faced. A teacher they trust, who answers honestly and kindly, protects their faith better than any list of facts.
Our Islamic studies classes teach the Seerah and Sunnah one-on-one, in English or Arabic.
