What is Maktab?

Islamic after-school classes, commonly known as Maktab, are supplementary educational programs designed to provide children and teenagers in Muslim communities with a deeper understanding of Islam. These classes typically take place outside of regular school hours, offering a dedicated space for spiritual and intellectual growth.

Our program focuses on foundational Islamic principles, including the Quran, Hadith, Islamic history, Fiqh (jurisprudence), and Aqidah (creed). We aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate modern life while staying true to their faith.curriculum-gridcurriculum-grid
