• Qur’anic Studies: Qur’anic studies are focused on a unique, holistic approach to Qur’an memorization, wherein students memorize Qur’an at their own pace while learning how to read it with the proper recitation (tajweed) and study Arabic to understand its meaning in English and how it applies to their lives.  By using this method, students are able to memorize the Qur’an in a manner that positively shapes their lives and minds.
