The Islamic Holidays & Events course for Kids at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy teaches children ages 4 to 15 the meaning, rulings, and practices of Islamic holidays. Sessions cover eid for kids, Ramadan, Islamic calendar for kids, and major annual observances from their Quranic and Prophetic foundations. All instruction is delivered in English by Al-Azhar certified tutors.
Muslim children in Western schools celebrate Islamic holidays without knowing what they commemorate theologically. This programme gives children a structured understanding of why each holiday exists, what worship it requires, and how to explain it accurately to non-Muslim peers and teachers who ask about it.

The Events course for Kids at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy treats each Islamic holiday as a theological subject with specific rulings, historical origins, and worship requirements. Children learn not only how to celebrate eid with kids at home but why each celebration exists and what obligation it carries for a Muslim.
Islamic holidays for kids in this programme are connected to the Islamic calendar and the lunar cycle that governs them. Children learn how the Islamic calendar for kids operates, why it differs from the Gregorian calendar, and how that difference affects when each holiday falls each year.
The Islamic Holidays & Events course for Kids covers four modules organized by holiday category. Each module is available within the full programme or as a standalone Events course for Kids based on which holiday the family needs to address most urgently.
The first module covers eid al fitr for kids including its theological basis, the rulings of Eid prayer, the obligation of Zakat Al Fitr before the prayer, and the permitted celebrations within Islamic boundaries. Children learn what the holiday marks theologically and why it follows Ramadan rather than being a standalone celebration. Available within the full Islamic Holidays course for Kids or as a standalone Eid Al Fitr programme for children.
This module covers eid ul adha for kids from its Prophetic origin in the story of Ibrahim (AS) through the rulings of the sacrifice, the days of Tashreeq, and the takbeer that accompanies the Eid period. Eid ul adha facts for kids in this module include what animals qualify for sacrifice, how the meat is distributed, and why this holiday commemorates submission to Allah rather than a cultural tradition. Enrollable within the full course or as a standalone Eid Al Adha programme for children.
Children learn the theological status of Ramadan for kids as the month the Quran was revealed, the rulings governing who must fast, the nights of special worship including Laylat Al Qadr, and what Tarawih prayer is and why Muslims perform it. Tutors at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy connect each Ramadan practice to its specific religious obligation or recommendation. Available within the full programme or as a standalone Ramadan course for children.
The fourth module covers how the Islamic calendar operates, the months that carry special religious status, and the observances of Muharram including Ashura, the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, and the significance of Rajab and Sha’ban. Children learn to read Islamic dates alongside Gregorian dates and understand which months carry heightened religious obligations. Enrollable within the full Islamic Holidays & Events course for Kids or as a standalone Islamic calendar programme for children.
Outcomes
Graduates of the first module explain why Eid Al Fitr follows Ramadan, state the obligation of Zakat Al Fitr and when it must be paid, and describe what makes the Eid prayer different from regular Salah. Children who understand the theological basis of Eid Al Fitr engage with the holiday differently than children who experience it only as a celebration. That theological grounding is what Islamic Studies for Kids Academy targets as the core outcome of this module.
Children completing the Eid Al Adha module explain its connection to the story of Ibrahim (AS), state which animals qualify for sacrifice, describe how the meat is distributed among three categories, and explain the significance of the days of Tashreeq that follow Eid. Eid mubarak for kids at this level means children understand what they are celebrating rather than participating in a tradition they cannot explain. Assessment at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy requires verbal explanation of the Prophetic origin before the module closes.
Children who complete the Ramadan module explain why the month carries special status in Islamic theology, identify the rulings governing who must fast and who is exempt, and describe what Laylat Al Qadr is and why Muslims seek it in the final ten nights. Eid activities for kids at the end of Ramadan carry different meaning when the child understands what the month required. Islamic Studies for Kids Academy connects Ramadan comprehension directly to how children experience the Eid that follows it as a theological conclusion rather than simply a celebration day.
Children completing the calendar module read Islamic dates, identify the religiously significant months by name and status, and explain why the Islamic calendar shifts approximately eleven days earlier each Gregorian year. Children who understand the Islamic calendar structure navigate their religious obligations across the year with awareness rather than relying entirely on parents to tell them when each holiday or observance arrives. That calendar literacy is a documented outcome of this module at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy.
Children who complete the full Islamic Holidays & Events course for Kids explain each holiday to classmates and teachers from its theological basis rather than from cultural practice. Assessment requires children to respond accurately to questions peers typically ask about Eid and Ramadan in Western school settings. Islamic Studies for Kids Academy includes a dedicated session in the final module on answering common school questions about Islamic observances. Children practice explaining each holiday's meaning in clear English without either oversharing ritual details or giving vague responses that misrepresent what the holiday requires.

Real transformations from students who mastered the Quran with our courses
I took a course at Shaykhi Academy, and my name is Hamza Osama from England. During my time there, I learned the Arabic alphabet and Tajweed rules. I have also successfully memorized approximately two Juz of the Quran. My teacher was the best, and I feel I benefited a lot from him. I would advise anyone who wants to learn the Arabic language, Tajweed rules, or the Quran to join Shaykhi Academy.
I took a class at Shaykhi Academy with Mr. Luqman, and I had a lot of fun learning with him. I even got the chance to meet him in Egypt! I learned a lot from my time with him, including Tajweed, Tahweed, Arabic reading, and Quran. I've been learning with him for about a year now. Thank you for your time.
I’m Yahia Sarhan, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Canada. I’ve been a student at Shaykhi Academy since 2019, so about three or four years now. It’s been a great learning opportunity for me and I’ve learned a lot about Islamic studies, the Quran, and Arabic reading. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s trying to learn.
