"Connecting young hearts to the Book of Allah"
Programme Overview
The Rawdatul Atfaal Qurʼān Memorisation Programme guides students through the systematic memorisation of Juzʼ ʿAmma — the thirtieth part of the Qurʼān — across four structured terms.
Each term covers a defined range of surahs, progressing from the shorter surahs at the end of the Qurʼān toward the longer surahs earlier in Juzʼ ʿAmma.
Every term concludes with a dedicated revision week followed by a formal examination, ensuring that memorised material is retained and built upon.
Programme Principles
- Each week focuses on memorisation of the assigned surah(s) with correct pronunciation (tajweed).
- Revision weeks are dedicated entirely to consolidating all surahs from the current term.
- Examination weeks assess recitation from memory of the complete term’s surahs.
- Longer surahs are allocated two weeks, with the surah divided at a natural break point.
- Students are expected to revise previously memorised surahs from earlier terms on an ongoing basis.
