Maktab

Maktab

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is reported to have said:

If Allah ta'ala wants to favour someone, He grants him the understanding of din (religion)

(Sahih Al Bukhari)

Seeking knowledge is a way leading to paradise. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge, Allah ta’ala will make the path to Jannah (paradise) easy for them.

(Sahih Muslim)

Islam holds parents responsible for steering their children's upbringing according to the teaching of the holy Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad (SAW)'s way of life. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

'Allah ta’ala will ask every care taker about the people under his care and the man will be asked about the people of his house hold' (Sahih Al Bukhari).

The main purpose and objective of seeking knowledge is to attain the recognition of our Creator and attain His pleasure.

To ensure each child of our community manages to attain the above virtues and objective, Lanarkshire Mosque Maktab offers evening classes for 5-15 year olds, between 5pm-7pm, Monday to Friday.

The vision of our Maktab is to invest in today's children to make them tomorrows successful Muslims. We aim to achieve this by teaching the Islamic values and developing a good moral character with academic excellence. Teachers play a very important role in building a child's confidence and have the best interests of every child at heart. Our teachers try their best to practice good Islamic values, to achieve good teaching standards, and become good role models for our children.

Below is the Maktab syllabus which consists of various subjects to help students learn and practice din (Islam);

  • The Qaidah / Holy Quran
  • Memorisation of Surahs and Duas
  • Fiqh (Jurisprudence)
  • Akhlaq wal Adab (Etiquettes and manners)
  • Aqaid (Beliefs)
  • Tarikh and Sirah (Islamic History and life of the Prophet (SAW)
  • Urdu (Language)

The recitation of the Holy Quran is taught with correct tajwid. This will entail children learning tajwid rules, practising letters and words. We are currently using the ahsanul qawaaid qaida. 

The link to the interactive qaida is available at: Interactive Ahsanulqawaid

Memorisation of surahs and duas will help children in their daily acts of worship and life in general.

Our Islamic studies subjects provide our students with knowledge in relation to external and internal cleanliness and purification, and acts of worship. Islamic studies subjects also cover the history of many prophets and how Islam was established on to this day practised along with the oneness on Allah. We also touch upon contemporary issues and modern day festivities.

We are currently utilising the anNasihah syllabus. The website can be used to supplement your child's learning, you can create your own account at: anNasihah Portal
