The Curriculum

A purposeful path through Islamic knowledge.

Designed by the MCC Education Committee, the youth syllabus is organized into four disciplines and three levels — guiding youth gradually from the basics to confident understanding and dawah.

Level 1

Primary

Basic literacy on Islam and one's relationship with Allah.

Level 2

Secondary

Good understanding, correct worship, and Islamic role models.

Level 3

Tertiary

Facing contemporary challenges, giving dawah, and confident faith.

How course codes work: e.g. BPR 101 — letters are the discipline, the first digit is the level, the last two digits are the order.
