OUR HISTORY

PARENT PARTICIPATION
Parents are the primary educators and role models for their children. As a parent you play a key role in your child’s intellectual and social development. We work together with formal class based activities. We keep you updated with weekly posts on their class activities through photos and announcements.
When children see their parents involved in their learning and showing interest, they tend to be more enthusiastic in class and engaging with the content.
Many of the lessons have a practical aspect, it is important for parents to support their child to retain key learning points, and Islamic concepts and manners.

INCORPORATES

Group Work, Drama: Role
Playing (very effective in solving
moral and ethical problems);
Arts & Crafts
Topics in each subject are selected and taught based on age, grade and learning levels.
For example, when a student of Level 1 learns about who Adam (A) was, her sister in
Level 2 learns why and how Allah subhanahu wa taala created Adam alayhissalam and what
happened to him in the Garden. At the same time, a Level 3 lesson delves in detail as to
how Adam faced the temptation. Meanwhile students from Teen Deen revisit the story of
Adam from a different perspective—to understand the significance of covering with leaves
(importance of covering one’s awrah) and implication of being the khalīfa of Allah on
earth.
Required Textbooks
Required books are available from Daar Aisha upon registration at a reasonable price.
Parents will be provided with a book list on the 1st day of the Academic Year.
Optional Homework
Learning is reinforced through homework. Occasionally the students will have simple
homework to complete as revision of the lessons. This may be completed within 10-15
minutes and it is optional. Our aim is not to burden the students (and parents) with
homework as we would like this to be an enjoyable experience, we would rather lessons
revised through family discussions
Conclusion
It is our aim to ensure that the children grow up with beautiful memories of learning their
religion; these memories will empower them in adulthood to remain connected to Allah
Most High, practice what they have learnt, and to pursue further knowledge. We use
innovative ideas of learning as outlined above as well as Monthly interactive themes e.g.
Welcome Ramadan, Simulated Hajj experience, Loving the Beloved, Themes from the
Quran & Sunnah (Bee Day, Watermelon Day, Food of the Prophet, the Amazing World of
the Ants etc.. The children also share a meal together (provided by Daar Aisha) during the
lesson break in which they learn to share as well as the Sunnah of eating and drinking.

their community, putting into effect Prophetic wisdom and touching the lives of others
who come into contact with them.
o To empower them with Sacred knowledge to allow them to be positive contributors to the
society they live in and productive in their community.

applications of Islam in the Australian context.

surroundings.

A day in which no wealth and no children will be of any use. Except the one who comes (to
Allah) with a pure heart’.
[Surat Ash-Shuara. 26: 88-89]

of the heart and the ennoblement of character. This aspect of the Islamic Sciences was given
great importance by the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him).
The subject begins by exploring the five components that make a person who they are: the
Soul; the Heart; the Intellect; Nafs; and the Body, and their inter relationship. Through this
initial study, students gain a deep understanding of their own being; identify their spiritual
state; understand why and how they react in a certain manner; what instigates a particular
conduct; what influences decision making, etc…
The subject also explores the diseases of the heart and their cures, and the shortcomings
of the tongue and its remedy. The subject emphasises the practical application of this
knowledge in daily life in order to improve our spiritual state and remove the obstacles in
our path to Allah (Most High).
A study of the beautiful character traits that are loved by Allah Most High and were
manifest in the person of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings upon him) will also
be undertaken with practical exercises and advice on how to personally develop these
qualities

TESTIMONIALS
My daughter and we parents are happy with the Daar Aisha teaching for last few years.
Although we are looking forward but Aisha has mentioned that she would miss the Daar
Aisha a lot. Thank you for looking after her and inspiring the Islamic knowledge. May Allah
reward you here and hereafter.
Despite going to an Islamic School all my life, Daar Aisha has developed in me love for the
Prophet and companions in a way I never have. Each lesson I attend encourages me to be a
better person. Advice I have received has increased my spiritual quality of life in a way I
have never been able to.
“…the teachers teach with great enthusiasm and passion…!”
I started my beautiful spiritual journey of learning and practising Islam with Daar Aisha a
year ago. I feel every class at Daar Aisha has helped me progress to a higher spiritual level
and made my association to Allah (Most High) stronger and meaningful.
Daar Aisha, Inspiration, tranquil and peace, the feeling of knowing your place in the
dunyaa. I call it my ‘fuel for the week’. Keeping me humble and patient. Teachers are
engaging and extremely knowledgeable in the topics and beyond.
It changes your perspective, broadens your mind and allows you to appreciate Islam so
much more. The teachers are amazing.
Absolute spiritual and intellectual illumination which has had a ripple effect through every
aspect of my life.
Daar Aisha has been one of the kindest, most welcoming and most grounding places I’ve
ever learnt my deen in. Every single teacher here shines with knowledge and a God
conscious willingness to share it. It’s not just a three year syllabus I’ve learnt; but how to
conduct myself, the values I want to live by and the people I want to emulate. Thank you
for an incredible three years and inshaAllah many more years to come.
