A journey of knowledge and personal growth.
This course will follow along with the academic calendar for local schools in Buckinghamshire.
The CIL Youth programme is a modular programme designed to give students in primary and secondary schools a basic foundation in Farḑ al-‘ayn knowledge, that is essential for every Muslim to learn. In this unique one-year programme, we will be using the Nasihah and the ISyllabus for Schools series books. Both books are fully-structured Islamic Studies courses. The Nasihah books focusing on primary school children, whilst the ISyllabus books for those in Secondary school.
The course is based on a traditional understanding of Sunni doctrine and the Hanafi school of law, and is taught by traditionally trained and authorised teachers. Upon completing the programme, students will have acquired a good foundational knowledge in the core disciplines as well as an exposure to formal Islamic studies.

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.
