Full-Time Hifdh Program

The Mission

The purpose of the Al-Hidaya Full Time Hifdh program is to produce hufadh, memorizers, of the Quran who will not only carry the words and verses of the Book in their chests, but also act upon them and translate them into actions in every single facet of their lives (behavior, manners, and deeds).

 

Our aim is to teach the student how to memorize and recite the Quran with proper tajweed and pronunciation. Furthermore we aim to equip the students with the necessary knowledge they need to be a good Muslim and to represent Islam in the best way.

What We Offer

Full-Time Quran Memorization Program

Alhamdulillah, our Full-Time Hifdh Program has been in-session since August of 2022. The academic year runs from August to June. During class, students primarily focus on the memorization of the Qur’an while taking lessons in tajweed and occasional lectures to understand and apply these principles. Students are evaluated each month on the quality of their recitation and memorization. It is not all studies! Students also go on monthly field trips to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood outside of the traditional classroom setting. ​

Part-Time Huffadh Program

For students who have completed the memorization of the entire Qur’an we offer a Huffadh Program designed to help students strengthen their memorization and improve tajweed and pronunciation. The early years after completing hifdh are critical, and this program supports students in solidifying their recitation and memorization.

A structured Homeschooling Program is available exclusively to students enrolled in the Full-Time Hifdh Program. Enrollment is optional.
