Qur’an Quran memorization and recitation have been a cornerstone of UAP’s Quranic Studies Department since the opening of this school. Students from all grades frequently show what they’ve learned from our teachers by participating in Quran Competitions at local masjids, including ICP, MCCGP, and AIC. We focus on Quran memorization, understanding (Tafseer), and Reading (Tajweed). Our teachers also use the Qaidah Nouraniyah to help the students read and memorize the Quran. Qur’an Hifz Program This program is initially designed for eligible UAP students to help them memorize part of or the entire Quran with a one-on-one approach. Potential Hufaz will memorize, review and practice for the new lessons with the guide of their teacher. Individualized plan for each student upon admission as follows: - Plan A: Replace Quran class with the Hifz class daily (42 minutes per day). - Plan B: Replace Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies classes with the Hifz class daily (84 minutes per day). - Plan C: Replace Quran, Arabic, Islamic Studies, STEAM, IT, Gym, and Art with Hifz class (126 minutes per day). Islamic Studies Quran, Islamic Studies, and Arabic are among the most important subjects taught at the Universal Academy of Pittsburgh to instill an understanding of Islam, a desire to practice Islam, an appreciation of the Quran as the guide to mankind, and a sense of responsibility to spread the message to all of humanity. These three courses constitute the “Rope of Islam” to hold onto and insha’Allah to lead to the hereafter. UAP strictly follows the Quran and the Hadith teachings as the basis of our Quran studies, Islamic Studies, and Arabic programs. Since 2013-2014 school year, middle school students began taking part in an annual Islamic Speech Competition at UAP. The ELA, Quran, and Arabic/Islamic Studies teachers collaborate each year on a list of topics that students can choose from. The committee of teachers then determines the winning speech based on the research, English writing, presentation, references to Quran and Ahadith, and Arabic pronunciation of the students. Prayer (Salat) As an Islamic School, the Universal Academy of Pittsburgh aims at strongly adhering to the commands of Allah (S.W.T.) It is therefore the school’s duty to schedule time for Dhuhr prayer at its prescribed time during the school schedule. We aim to instill a lifelong practice of daily prayers for our students by establishing a daily routine of prayer and worship. Students in 1st–8th grades also attend Salat al-Jumah (Friday Prayer) weekly. |
