Hifz-ul-Quran Program
In Pre-School, a child develops learning habits that impact his/her academics for life.
Tajweed and Hifz Program
We offer a dedicated Hifz program that enables students to memorize the Qur’an while continuing their formal education. Our balanced approach nurtures both spiritual growth and academic achievement in a supportive learning environment.
Objectives of the Tajweed and Hifz program at Scholastic

- Development of the Provide opportunity to the student to strive for: ‘read and be elevated in ranks…’e love and respect for the Book of Allah in the hearts of the students
- Develop capability for reading the Book of Allah in Tahajjud
Qaida
- Students in Scholastic should have completed their Qaidah by Grade 1 (along with memorizing a few short duas).
- Junior school Tajweed and Hifz teachers will conduct jaizah of the Pre-school and Grade 1 students to ensure that the quality of instruction is OK.
Nazirah
- Students should start their Nazirah in Grades 1 and 2, along with memorizing last 15 suras of Quran Al-Kareem.
- Students should complete 10 juz of Nazirah in Grade 2, 3, and 4 each.
- Nazirah students will also memorize last juz, as well as frequently recited surahs like Ya-sin, Al-Mulk, etc. while at Scholastic in Grades 5-8.
Hifz
- Hifz is optional, and open only for students who have demonstrated above average ability for ‘memorization’ and ‘love’ for Quran Al-Kareem
- Hifz classes (gender separated) will begin in Grade 2.
- Hifz students will start the day with 2 rakats ishraq and reading yaseen, to seek Allah’s help in their endeavour.
- Students (whose parents opt for the Hifz program), will only have English and Math classes. Hifz students should be done with their ‘sabuq’, ‘subqi’ (minimum one juz) and ‘manzil’ (minimum one juz) by Period 9. After school, they will stay back for about an hour for the next day’s ‘sabuq’. They will also have hifz classes on Saturday (8 am – 2 pm).
Targets for Hifz are as follows
| Hifz Started in | Grade 2-3 | Grade 4-6 |
|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | 5 juz | 8 juz |
| Year 2 | +10 | +10 |
| Year 3 | +10 | +12 |
| Year 4 | +5 | X |
Rule and Regulations
- If the manzil of a student is weak, his/her subuq will be discontinued. This decision will be made by the most senior Qari/Qaria in the school.
- Parents will be responsible for the student’s punctuality at school, as well as spending time at home every day to memorize the sabuq and revising the manzil.
- Hifz Jaiza will be conducted by some credible ‘outside’ person twice every term.
- Students who revised the Quran a few times, after having completed hifz, will then join regular classes. They will have the option to stay back for an hour after school, as well as come on Saturdays, for revision.
- If the school feels at any time that a student has lost the necessary motivation for Hifz, it reserves the right to return the student into the regular stream. Such decision will be based on the speed of memorization of the student.
- Once every term, the school should engage in programs that ‘motivate’ parents for the effort they are putting in for the hifz of their children.
