Class Wise Distribution of Lessons

As discussed earlier, courses of the Holy Qur’an are divided into three parts:

Part I Preparatory for Classes I, II and III

or ages 6,7 & 8

Part II Systematic Study from Para / Juz 1 to Para / Juz 30

for Class IV to X or ages 9 to 15

Preliminary or Preparatory for Classes I, II and III or ages 6,7 and 8 years

The children of the above age groups are taught of the basic principles of learning Arabic through "Qaida" for the advantage of teaching the Qur’anic verses be recited in Arabic for prayers and other purposes.

This is followed by memorizing some suras for the importance of performing prayers with the addition of some crucial Islamic lessons and short quotations from Qur’an called "Ayat", that correspond to the mental capacity of the child.

This exercise of 3 years will prepare the child to proceeds through Systematic Study of the Qur’an in the coming years, which are Class IV to Class X.

Systematic Study of the Qur’an from Class IV to X or ages 9 to 15 years

For Systematic Study of the Qur’an, it is felt essential to preserve the actual spirit of the Qur’an, hence it was decided that the study of the Qur’an should be in its original sequences, as the Holy Book has its own way of communicating Allah’s Message in the most effective manner. And, in order to achieve the very important objective, it was felt necessary that the Qur’an, as it is, should be studied from para / juz 1 to 30 in seven years from Class IV to X.

For this purpose, 7 divisions are made for each class, and students should study the Qur’an in their mother tongue. Students’ comprehension of the lessons must be checked/examined by asking questions derived from each ruku / section, and such questions are given in this syllabus as guidelines.

Eventually, the student can only answer the given questions if he or she has understood the lessons. From a ruqu, one can derived many questions; but one should also ensure that the questions would coincide to the students’ age group and their intellects to inhibit additional burden to the already overloaded students.

The given questions in this syllabus are mainly for weekly and monthly tests, and for annual exams, the examiners themselves should formulate more general and easier questions.

Kindly note that the questions can be replaced by other questions originated from the same ruqu at reasonable intervals of 3 to 5 years.

Remarks: Please take note of the equivalent terms of the following:

1 Juz = 2 Hizb

1 Hizb = 8 Ruba

1 Ruba = 2 Sections / Ruqu

1 Juz or Para is consists of 16 sections / ruqu.
