ARABIC AND ISLAMIC STUDIES

At Al-Ihsan, we place a high value on imparting authentic Islamic knowledge and developing strong Arabic language skills. Our aim is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of Arabic and Islamic studies to foster their growth as knowledgeable and well-rounded individuals.
CURRICULUM:
• We offer a comprehensive Arabic language program, including reading and writing skills.
• Our curriculum encompasses Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), Masnoon dua (prescribed supplications), and Mas’Ala (Islamic legal rulings) to provide students with a full understanding of Islamic principles and practices.
TEACHING TEAM:
• We have a dedicated team of teachers, specialized in Arabic and Islamic studies, who are committed to providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a deeper understanding of the Arabic language and Islamic culture.
Our Arabic and Islamic Studies program offers students a strong foundation in the Arabic language and Islamic knowledge, allowing them to embrace their heritage and strengthen their connection to their faith.

PRACTICAL PRAYER TEACHING
At Al-Ihsan, we believe in the importance of developing good prayer habits and fostering a connection with Allah through Salah. After the first academic session, all students who are not yet obligated to perform Salah are required to attend congregational prayer.
TEACHING APPROACH:
• Experienced students lead the prayer and recite each part of the Salah so that others can memorize the Duas and Surahs.
• Senior students perform the Salah in a separate hall room for the purpose of proper training.
Our goal is to provide students with a strong foundation in the practice of Salah, so they can maintain a consistent and meaningful connection with Allah throughout their lives.
QURAN RECITATION COMPETITION:
At Al-Ihsan, we hold an annual Quran recitation competition to enhance the students’ recitation skills and to emphasize the importance of competition for good deeds in Islam. This event provides an opportunity for students to showcase their talent and deepen their understanding of the Quran.

SCHOOL ACTIVITES

⦁ ACADEMIC RESULTS:
At Al-Ihsan, we believe in tracking the academic progress of our students to ensure they are on the right path towards success. At the end of each year, our teachers evaluate the performance of each student and provide them with a detailed progress report. Based on their performance, students are then promoted to the next class to continue their academic journey.
⦁ ANNUAL SPORTS:
Al-Ihsan hosts an Annual Sports Day, featuring a range of sporting events for students to participate in. The school invites local government authorities and union chairs to join in the festivities. Prizes are awarded to winners of each event, encouraging friendly competition and physical activity.

⦁ STUDY TOUR & ANNUAL PICNIC:
Every year, students from both the school and the orphanage are treated to a fun and educational experience with a field trip. These trips provide a break from the routine and allow students to explore new places and gain new experiences.

Previous Destinations:
⦁ Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Safari Park
⦁ Fantasy Kingdom
The purpose of the study tour is to enhance the students’ learning experience by exposing them to real-life scenarios and hands-on activities. Meanwhile, the annual picnic provides an opportunity for students to relax, have fun, and create memories that will last a lifetime. These trips also promote team building and foster a sense of community among the students.
