Fiqh For Young Minds - Complete Curriculum
A Complete Map of Practical Islam for Ages 5 to 15
Most Fiqh books for children teach only Salah and Wudu. A child grows up knowing how to pray, but not how to live as a Muslim in America.
Fiqh for Young Minds is the first US-based, inclusive curriculum that gives children the breadth of the entire Deen – from Taharah to Janazah, from daily Salah to Nikah – with both Hanafi and Shafi’i guidance.
We don’t aim to create young scholars. We aim to create practicing Muslims who know the how-to of every essential situation in their lives.
Built On Two Principles
- Breadth Over Depth
At this introductory stage, a child needs to know all the important areas of Fiqh, not deep scholarly details of one area. We cover every essential chapter in a simple, practical way.
- Inclusive for America
Carefully presents differences between Hanafi and Shafi’i Fiqh where they occur in daily life, with respect and without confusion. One classroom, all backgrounds, no child left out.
All content is reviewed and supervised by senior Ulama who have been leading Islamic education and imamah in America for over 70 years.
