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.
Authentic Islamic learning, plus the skills today's world demands
Across the four disciplines and three levels below, a young person studies far more than theology. These are the threads that run through the whole syllabus.
Together these serve one aim: protecting faith, proclaiming truth, and raising leaders.
Primary
Basic literacy on Islam and one's relationship with Allah.
Secondary
Good understanding, correct worship, and Islamic role models.
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.
