A journey of knowledge and personal growth.

The CIL Youth Programme is a modular course designed to provide primary and secondary school students with a solid foundation in Farḑ al-‘Ayn knowledge—essential teachings that every Muslim is required to learn. This unique one-year programme utilizes the Nasihah and ISyllabus for Schools series, both of which are fully structured Islamic Studies curricula. The Nasihah books are tailored for primary school students, while the ISyllabus books cater to those in secondary school.

Grounded in a traditional understanding of Sunni doctrine and the Hanafi school of law, the course is taught by highly qualified teachers who are traditionally trained and authorised. By the end of the programme, students will have developed a strong foundation in core Islamic disciplines and gained valuable exposure to formal Islamic studies.

This course aligns with the academic calendar for local schools in Buckinghamshire where possible.

Is CIL Youth for my child?

This programme will allow the children at this vulnerable and delicate period of their lives to not only have access to fundamental knowledge, but more importantly to mentors who shall serve as role models and guides in this delicate period of their lives. Safeguarding one’s faith and identity as a Muslim is of upmost importance; and it is hoped that this programme will facilitate this for our next generation.

We have successfully ran the course for the last 5 years, with a few hundred students having completed the course. The programme was thoroughly enjoyed by both; the children and the teachers, with students travelling from as far as Oxford, Watford, Slough and Maidenhead.
