Al-Furqan Islamic School
Creating productive Muslims through quality Islamic education.
Islamic Education
Islamic education is uniquely different from other types of educational theory and practice largely because of the all-encompassing influence of the Quran. The Quran serves as a comprehensive blueprint for both the individual and society and as the primary source of knowledge. Being a “Muslim” we believe that Allah (SWT) has made reciting the Quran an act of worship and made those who learn it and teach it the best of all people. Quran memorization is most effective when carried out at a young age. Therefore Al-Furqan school aims to teach young children Quran memorization, to preserve our Holy Book, and give each student a solid foundation in the rules of recitation along with the understanding of Islam in light of this Holy Book.
Seek Knowledge! Educate Yourselves!
To seek knowledge is a sacred duty, it is obligatory on every Muslim, male and female. The first word of the Quran revealed to our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was “Iqra” READ! Seek knowledge! Educate yourselves! Be educated. Without knowledge, one can’t truly receive Allah’s gift of Islam. If our knowledge is little, then we will constantly run the risk of losing that magnificent gift, which we have received unless we remain vigilant in our fight against ignorance. A person without knowledge is like someone walking along a track in complete darkness. Most likely his steps will wander aside and he easily can be deceived by Shaytaan. This shows that our greatest danger lies in our ignorance of Islamic teachings and in our unawareness of authentic guidance from Quran & Sunnah.
