ICP now hosts a bi-weekly Quran halaqah for students of all ages, children or grown up.
For the 2024 spring term, we only have a teacher for males.
Each session is two hours. Teachers will give specific time for hifz students and specific time for reading/qaidah students.
TEACHER BIOS:
Allussaine Kamara: In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful. May Allah send his peace and blessings to our beloved prophet Muhammad (PBUH) his companions and his family.
My name is Allusaine Kamara. I received my high school certificate at Ansar Islamic School in Sierra Leone where I learned the foundations of Qur'an studies. From there I attended Al Azhar in Egypt where I continued my studies for four years. While I was in Al Azhar I used to attend the Qur'an Halaqah at both Al Azhar Grand Mosque and at the masjid of the student campus, where I received a certificate of mastery in Qur'an reading and Tajweed.
My love of the Qur'an began when I was a child when I used to listen to local sheikhs narrating the stories of the prophets in the Holy Qur'an especially the story of prophet Yusuf (AS). Since then my goal has always been to study the Qur'an and teach other people.
What encouraged me the most is the Hadith of the prophet (PBUH) that states: "The best of you is he who learns the Qur'an and teaches others." I have been teaching at ICP Sunday school for 5+ years, and I decided to do so because I want to be a part of a mission that is working to teach the deen of Allah and the Qur'an. May Allah increase us with the knowledge of his deen.
