Young Huffādh

Student Journey

The Young Huffādh Programme (up to age 16) is designed for our younger brothers & sisters who have memorised the Qur'ān, with the aim of helping them to build a strong foundation in Tajwīd and achieve excellence in adā' (delivery) and iqrā' (teaching), as well as nurturing tarbiyah and the manners befitting a person of the Qur’ān. The programme also takes into account the vital role of parents, involving them to help them learn how to best support their child in this noble journey.

Majālis At-Tamhīd
In Person
Spanning the course of 3-6 months, Young Huffādh recite to their teachers and receive tailored feedback. Lessons are structured to ensure gradual improvement while building their confidence.
Online
For students living too far from the institution, online lessons are available, with a focus on interactive tools and multimedia resources to engage younger learners.
Istiqtāb: UK
Participants attend a shorter, 2–4-week intensive programme, providing focused learning opportunities with their teachers in person. The curriculum balances Qur’anic studies with age-appropriate recreational activities, such as Islamic-themed games, outings, and group discussions.
Istiqtāb: Madīnah
Students who are prepared and have met the required milestones may travel to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah to study under Qur’anic scholars (with parental consent). They recite to the mashāyikh and attend halaqāt in the Prophet’s Mosque ﷺ.
Upon Return
Young Huffādh are encouraged to share their knowledge through youth-friendly platforms, such as mentoring peers, assisting in teaching younger students of Al-Maqari UK, and organising community events like competitions and workshops.
Emphasis is placed on youth leadership roles in schools, madrasas, and community events, with structured support for younger participants to build confidence in sharing their knowledge.

Beyond

The journey continues as young Huffādh are taught that the pursuit of knowledge is lifelong. Follow-up programmes include refresher courses, regular check-ins, and mentoring by teachers to sustain their progress. Stories of scholars who began as young Huffādh inspire participants to remain dedicated to their Qur’anic journey. Upon reaching 18 years of age, students on this program are integrated into the student journey and continue the cycle of learning and teaching.
