At Manchester Qur’an Academy, we have developed a syllabus that will provide our students with everything a young Muslim needs to know about their faith. A well rounded purposeful education taught within a positive spiritual environment, inspiring and engaging children of mixed abilities to become beacons of light within their own homes and our community. |

● Purification & Prayer (Salat) ● Memorisation of short surahs ● Daily duas ● Life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) ● Stories from the Qur’an ● The five pillars of Islam ● The six articles of Imaan ● Dedicated classes for SEN students |
Moral and Spiritual Excellence
Faith is inseparable from good character and excellent moral conduct. How well we treat our fellow humans, and how we interact with the world around us in general, are all important aspect of being a good Muslim.
At Manchester Qur’an Academy we aspire to nurture the purity and innocence of our children by providing them with the opportunity to learn and reflect upon their role in and of this world, as well as supporting and enabling their spiritual growth.
We believe the key to moral and spiritual excellence lies in instilling love and consciousness of Allah and a stronger attachment and love of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ..
Every child is born pure and innocent, but as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. Let us together lay the foundation that will encourage and strengthen our children.
