Teaching method

- The material is discussed in class together with the teacher, after which the teacher explains the material read and offers the opportunity for questions.
- The student receives homework assignments every week, consisting of think, feel, do and say assignments, in which the teaching material is also immediately put into practice and the teaching material in-shaa’-Allaah will also directly lead to improvement in the student.
- The practical assignments involve all areas the student interacts with, such as family, friends, work, school, street, etc.
- The student also learns which terms and wording he should use and how the knowledge should be formulated.
- All courses of the Institute stand for both Education and Nurturing (Tarbiyah).
In addition to acquiring knowledge, attention is also paid to practicing the knowledge and the Islamic norms, values and behavior. - On the basis of Islamic aspects of Tarbiyah, the student learns how to apply the norms and values towards the teacher, fellow students, other Muslims and non-Muslims in his environment.
