ADMISSIONS PHILOSOPHY

Our Selection Criteria

Admission to Ibad Academy is not automatic. We limit our cohort sizes to ensure that every student receives the level of mentorship required for deep identity formation

We are looking for families who view religious education not as a cultural checklist, but as a core intellectual foundation. We prioritize students who demonstrate curiosity, and parents who are committed to the long-term process of character development

The Foundation (Ages 12–15)

Nurturing a heart attached to Allah and a mind grounded in Yaqeen (Certainty)

We guide your child beyond simple memorisation, helping them plant deep spiritual roots before they face the winds of the world.

Module 1: Connection (Tuesday – The Living Text)

Subject: Tajweed & Tadabbur

Each week begins with a meaningful connection to the Qur’an. Through beautiful recitation (Tajweed) and thoughtful reflection (Tadabbur), we nurture a relationship with the Divine Speech that goes beyond routine, softening the heart and refining the soul.

Module 2: Conviction (Thursday – The Roots of Faith)

Subject: Building Yaqeen (Certainty)

We guide students beyond simple belief toward true intellectual certainty. We thoughtfully address life's biggest questions—Existence, Purpose, and Prophethood—equipping them with the clarity and confidence to face the doubts of the modern world with unshakeable strength.

Module 3: Practice (Thursday – Living the Deen)

Subject: Purity & Modern Ethics

Islam is a lived reality, not just a set of rules. We cover the essentials of worship (Wudhu and Salah) alongside the Fiqh of the Modern World: Navigating social media, privacy, and gender interactions with modesty (Haya). We teach them to carry their Muslim identity with pride in a secular environment.

We organize our week around Connection, Conviction, and Practice, rather than simply listing 'Quran, Aqidah, and Fiqh.' This is not accidental

In my years as an educator, I learned that teenagers disconnect when they feel they are merely accumulating data to pass a test. By framing our curriculum around outcomes, we shift the focus from 'What do I have to learn?' to 'Who am I becoming?'

We designed this 3-day arc to mirror the holistic needs of the human being: Monday fuels the Spirit (Quran), Tuesday anchors the Mind (Logic), and Wednesday refines the Lifestyle (Fiqh). We don't just want your child to know the rules; we want them to embody the principles.

The Scholars' Circle (Ages 16+)

Forging a confident Muslim identity amidst the challenges of the modern world.

We provide a sanctuary for young adults to transition from "Childhood Imitation" to deep, personal "Adult Conviction."

Module 1: Conviction (The Intellectual Foundation)

Topic: Faith in an Age of Confusion

We engage the critical mind to tackle complex modern challenges with wisdom. Rather than being swept away by shifting ideologies—Liberalism, Scientism, or Atheism—students learn to view the world through the lens of Divine Truth. This module transforms doubt into deep, unshakeable Conviction (Yaqeen), allowing them to hold their faith with pride on any campus.

Module 2: Practice (Character & Adab)

Topic: Prophetic Ethics in a Polarized World

We translate theology into noble character. We focus on the high-level Fiqh of Social Interaction: navigating disagreement with grace, understanding gender dynamics with wisdom, and maintaining dignity in online spaces. Our goal is to cultivate a young adult who represents the beauty of Islam with confidence, maturity, and respect.

Module 3: Connection (The Spiritual Anchor)

Topic: The Quran as a Living Guide

We deepen the relationship with the Qur'an, moving from simple recitation to seeking Divine Guidance for modern life. Students explore how Revelation speaks directly to their inner reality—addressing loneliness, purpose, and peace. We teach them to find solace in the Book of Allah, ensuring their spirituality becomes their greatest strength.

The Outcome

By organising learning around growth rather than just information, we shift the focus from "What do I have to know?" to "Who am I becoming?"—cultivating a leader who is intellectually sharp, socially graceful, and spiritually secure.
