Understanding the importance of the curriculum in building the learner’s personality within the aspects of human growth (physical, cognitive, emotional, and motor development), a thorough development process for the curriculum of the Permanent Qur’anic Centers took place.
Regarding the number of notes and remarks in teachers’ questionnaires, a curriculum development process became essential to encounter the need of a curriculum which sustains modern development, considers the circumstances our boys and girls are living in, regards their actual needs, and harmonizes with the goals system which the society tries to achieve.
The curriculum of the Permanent Qur’anic Centers includes three levels for men and women. Each level is divided into two chapters. Most of the concentration is placed on the Holy Qur’an (tilawa, tafseer, hifz). The curriculum does not overlook the importance of the various Islamic studies. but it contains a group of lessons that enrich the learners’ experiences in Islamic studies topics that concern them.
The second level of the curriculum of the Permanent Qur’anic Centers addresses the completion of the 28th, 27th, and 26th parts (ajza’) of the Holy Qur’an. It covers the lessons of tilawa (ritual recitation of the Qur’an), tajweed (recitation of the Qur’an), manners of tilawa, tafseer (commentary and explanation of the Qur’an), and hifz (memorizing ayat). In addition, the book presents topics in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), such as sawm (fasting) and zakat-ul-fitr (alms given for Eid-ul-Fitr); topics in aqidah such as The Names of Allah and His characteristics, and believing in Angels; and topics in Thought and Civilization, such as the Aqsa Mosque subject and the Family in Islam. Additionally, there are review lessons from the seerah - the biography of Prophet Muhammad (p), his trip to Syria, his trade using Khadija’s money, and marrying her.
Also, we took into consideration presenting lessons from the Hadith An-Nabawi on Kaba’ir Thunoob (major sins), and avoiding anger, followed by lessons on manners of truthfulness, kindness, and honoring one’s parents.
