FAQs
Is this a full course?
This lesson is offered as a stand-alone module as part of the Sanatayn course and is part of a larger course.
Do I have to commit to from the beginning?
Not at all. Come for the two weeks trial first. After that, commit to one year. Then take each year at a time. The beauty of studying Islam is that even if you don’t complete the whole course, you will still take back a wealth of information you can apply to your life and pass on to others.
Do I have to sit exams?
You’ll be pleased to know there are no exams for this module.
Can I keep my child with me in class?
Yes, MMTQ is a child-friendly madrasah and we support mothers who want to study with babies or young children. We close during school holidays and classes are always arranged at a time when children are at school. If you need to bring your children into class, they are always welcome.

There is no additional learning or memorising for this course. You can read through your own notes to review them yourself if you wish.
What happens in the school holidays?
