بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Alhamdulillaah, I find it a blessing that Muslim children can take Islaamic Studies as an IGCSE subject to spend their learning time to learn their religion.
Having gone through the syllabus and the past papers, and my teaching experience, I like the fact that the exam is focused on applying the concepts, which is something we desire for our children in learning their dheen.
Therefore I would highly recommend aiming for Islamic Studies as a subject for IGCSE. Having prepared my own daughter for the Cambridge UK IGCSE Islamiyat which is the Islaamic Studies and also teaching the content for a few years I am pleased to help prepare your children for this exam in shaa Allaah.
We are opening up registrations for a 2 year program for girls 13 years above. Students should have a good command of English and should be able to write essay type answers to some extent.
The content is very in depth and covers a good amount of information. Therefore students should be ready to explore the topics in detail and complete assignments. This is a fully structured program and we are limiting the number of participants for this course. Therefore we ask you to register ONLY if you are serious and willing to commit to the full 2 year program In shaa Allaah. Please see the details below.
