Sunday School

Community based Sunday school - Coming Soon

This program will be based on traditional Islamic knowledge that is taught by a qualified instructor, and has a chain of narration back to the beloved Prophet ﷺ

These sessions with bring together a holistic approach to learning for the whole community with the emphasis on enriching the family learning experience. However the program is open to all families with/without children, single brothers and sisters, the seniors of our community. The strength of a community is fortified by providing everyone an opportunity to learn at their level.

The aim is to instill the disciplines of learning the sacred tradition, practice what is being taught and serve the community as a whole.
