Admissions closed Ask about the next intakeHow we teach
Each class is built on the same foundations, so a student grows in recitation, understanding and character together.
Every lesson begins with the Qur’an. Each student reads one page in turn, and facilitators correct her gently. Students who have not memorised the Qur’an are given a Qur’an facilitator, and those who have are encouraged to keep revising.
Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, creed, supplications and the Prophet’s biography are studied from trusted classical texts. The Center’s aim is that students can read, understand and reflect on the Qur’an and Islamic sources with confidence.
Texts are studied in Arabic. The facilitator explains them in Arabic, Hausa, English or another language of the class, so that no student is left behind.

All times are in the evening, Center time (GMT). The Academic Committee may revise the timetable from time to time, and the current timetable is pinned in each class group.
A typical class
Classes meet live on WhatsApp, with Google Meet used for workshops and special sessions. Each class has its own group, managed by the administration and a facilitator or supervisor.
Your Class Prefect posts the call link a few hours before class. Join from a quiet place with your microphone muted.
The facilitator opens with praise of Allah and salutations on the Prophet. Each student then reads one page of the Qur’an in turn.
The facilitator teaches the lesson, with the text shared in the group so you can follow along. Ask questions politely, beginning with “Aḥsana Allāhu ilayk”.
A short summary and the next assignment are shared, and the class ends with the closing du‘ā. If the network fails, the class is held as a direct conference call.
Every class also has one special revision day, set by the Academic Committee, to go over what has been taught.
Academic calendar
There are no holidays during the terms. Examinations are held one week before each break.

| Term 2 | After the two-week break | Right before Ramadan | Until two weeks after Ramadan |
| Term 3 | Two weeks after Ramadan | Before Dhul Hijjah | The new year begins |
