FoundationsofFaith
Program Overview
◆Most adults practice Islam with love, yet few were ever given the chance to study it properly. What we know tends to come from childhood lessons and scattered lectures, and the Arabic of the Quran stays out of reach. Foundations of Faith exists for exactly this person.
Over one year and three semesters, you will study the essentials of Islam the way they deserve to be studied: in order, from qualified teachers, with real accountability. It is a real class, with teachers who know your name and coursework that expects you to show up.
“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.”
Sunan Ibn MajahHow the Year Works
◆Seven subjects fit into a part time year only when they are weighed honestly. So the year rests on a graded core, carried by a lighter circle of enrichment.
The Core Three
The spine of the year. These three run all three semesters with weekly homework, short quizzes, and real assessments. They are the subjects you master, and the year is built so you actually do.
The Enrichment Circle
Taught with the same care but a lighter load. These subjects build belief and character with a lighter load, so they never compete with the core for your week.
Learning Outcomes
This Year’s Emphasis
◆Real, reachable outcomes for one part time year.
Understanding the Quran
Begin to follow the Quran in its own Arabic instead of through translation alone.
Confidence in Worship
Worship with the settled confidence of knowing the rulings behind what you do.
Certainty in Belief
Know what you believe and why, clearly enough to answer your children’s hardest questions about Islam.
Living the Sunnah
Carry the words and manners of the Prophet ﷺ into your daily conduct.
Structure and Accountability
◆This program is designed for serious and committed learners. To gain the most benefit, students are expected to attend classes consistently, dedicate time outside of class for study and review, and engage thoughtfully with the material.
Weekly Homework
Every core subject sends work home, drawn from worksheets written for this class.
Short Weekly Quizzes
A few minutes at the start of class, so last week’s lesson never fades.
Attendance and Homework
Both are recorded through the year, so you and your teacher always know where you stand.
Review Weeks
Each semester sets aside time to go back over what was taught before moving on.

Frequently Asked Questions
◆How serious is the commitment?
Serious enough to matter. The class meets twice a week, and the core subjects carry homework and short quizzes. It is paced for adults with jobs and families, but it rewards the student who shows up consistently and treats it as real study, because it is.I work full time. Can I actually keep up?
Yes. The program was rebuilt around working adults: one weekday evening, one weekend morning, and homework measured in focused minutes, not hours. The pace is deliberately humane. What it asks of you is consistency, not free time you do not have.Is the class for both men and women?
Yes. Adult men and women attend with separate seating, and both are full students of the program in every respect.Do I need any Arabic to join?
If you can read the script of the Quran, you can start. The Arabic course begins from the very first rule and is built on simple, repeated drills. No grammar background is assumed.What if I miss a class?
Life happens, and one missed evening will not sink you. The homework and review weeks are designed to catch you up. What the program cannot survive is casual attendance, so join in a season of life where you can attend consistently.Are books and materials provided?
Yes. The class runs on curated texts and printed worksheets prepared for this program, and they are included with your tuition.Study Your Religion Properly This Year
A year of steady study changes how you read, how you pray, and how well you know your religion.
