Islamic Studies for Kids Academy delivers Islamic studies for kids in UAE through private one-on-one sessions in English. While UAE schools include mandatory Islamic Education in the national curriculum, that instruction is delivered in Arabic, leaving English-speaking Muslim children without structured Islamic knowledge in the language they actually think in.
Muslim expat families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah raising children in English-medium international schools need Islamic Studies instruction that goes beyond what the MOE curriculum delivers. Islamic classes for kids UAE at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy close that gap through certified Azhari tutors teaching entirely in English.
More Details Pricing Testimonials
International school Islamic Studies in the UAE follows the MOE Arabic curriculum. A child in a British or American school in Dubai sits through an Islamic Studies class delivered in Arabic — understanding almost nothing. That class satisfies the regulatory requirement. It does not produce Islamic knowledge in a child raised speaking English.
Online Islamic studies for kids UAE at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy runs alongside the school curriculum rather than replacing it. Children gain genuine Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah, and Quran comprehension in English — the language their understanding is actually built in — rather than sitting through school classes they cannot follow.
Islamic Studies for Kids Academy structures online Islamic studies for kids UAE across four subject areas. The free trial confirms entry point per subject based on direct tutor assessment rather than what the school reports the child has covered.
Many UAE international school students can recite the Shahada without knowing what Tawheed means. This module covers the six pillars of Iman — the nature of Allah, belief in the Prophets, the Angels, the revealed Books, the Last Day, and Qadar — using English explanation and age-appropriate classical sources. Covering the same content delivered in Arabic at school does not constitute repetition when the child comprehended nothing the first time.
Correct Wudu, the conditions and pillars of Salah, Fasting rulings, and the Fiqh questions UAE children encounter at home and during Ramadan are the focus of this module. Tutors at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy assess whether the child’s current practice aligns with what the school has taught — and correct whatever was missed, misunderstood, or delivered in Arabic without English follow-up.
Islamic classes for kids UAE at this stage cover Noorani Qaida for non-readers, Tajweed correction for children who recite incorrectly, and Tafseer of the Surahs recited in Salah. Most expat children in Dubai and Abu Dhabi recite Al-Fatiha seventeen times daily without knowing a word of what it means. This module corrects recitation quality and builds Quranic comprehension simultaneously in English.
The Prophetic biography in UAE school textbooks focuses on chronological events. Seerah in Islamic studies for kids UAE at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy focuses on what each event teaches about character, decision-making, and relationships — applied to what UAE-based children actually encounter in international school environments, social groups, and family settings inside a multicultural country.
Outcomes
Aqeedah module graduates articulate the six pillars of Iman accurately in English, explain Tawheed clearly, and identify what the Shahada they recite actually states and means. A UAE school certificate in Islamic Education does not confirm English comprehension of Aqeedah content. Islamic Studies for Kids Academy assesses the child's actual understanding, not their school grade in the subject.
Fiqh module graduates perform Wudu and Salah correctly according to authenticated rulings rather than based on habit or imitation of what they observe at home without formal instruction. Assessment at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy uses direct observation during live sessions. Tutors identify specific errors in each child's practical Fiqh application before the module closes — not after it has been marked complete on a school report.
Quran module graduates recite the Surahs used in daily Salah with Tajweed applied correctly and explain the meaning of Al-Fatiha and the Tashahhud without a translation in front of them. Many Dubai and Abu Dhabi expat children attend school Islamic Studies classes from Grade 1 and still cannot read Arabic fluently by Grade 6. The Quran recitation module at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy builds that skill properly in English-medium private sessions.
Seerah module graduates identify the moral lesson behind each Prophetic event they study and describe a situation in their own UAE school or home life where that lesson applies. Assessment asks the child to connect a Seerah event to a real situation they have experienced. A child who answers with a specific personal example rather than a generic moral statement has completed the Seerah module at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy.
Parents completing the full programme at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy report children initiating Salah independently, asking Fiqh questions correctly, and engaging with Quran recitation at home rather than only during sessions. Final reports document performance across all four subject areas and confirm whether the child is ready for Hifz, advanced Tajweed, or deeper Tafseer study as a next step at Islamic Studies for Kids Academy.

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.
