Taleem Program
One hadith a day. A family reading circle. A simple habit that brings the whole household closer to the Sunnah.
A simple daily habit, done together
Taleem is a family-based learning program built around reading one hadith a day from a shared book, together as a household. It takes just a few minutes, but builds a lasting habit of daily reflection on the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ.
Families read at home in their own time, then come together weekly at Al Arqam to discuss, ask questions, and take part in a friendly competition based on what they've read.
Three simple steps
1. Read Daily
Each family reads one short hadith from the Taleem book at home โ often after Maghrib or before bed.
2. Reflect & Discuss
Parents and children talk about what the hadith means and how to apply it that day.
3. Gather Weekly
Families come together at Al Arqam for a weekly halaqah, recap, and friendly competition.
What families read from
Our Taleem program uses a widely-used collection of everyday hadith, translated with simple explanations suitable for both children and adults. Copies are available at the Al Arqam office, or can be ordered in advance ahead of a new term.
Friendly, family-based competition
Each week, families are asked simple questions based on that week's readings. Points are tallied per family across the term, with a leaderboard displayed at Al Arqam so everyone can see their progress.
Recognising participation
Top-performing families receive small prizes at the end of each term, and every participating family receives a certificate of completion. The focus is on consistency and participation rather than competition alone.
Common Questions
Do we need to attend every week?
Regular attendance helps families stay engaged, but we understand life gets busy โ you're always welcome back the following week.
Is Taleem suitable for very young children?
Yes โ younger children are welcome to join in as listeners while older siblings and parents lead the discussion.
Do we need to buy the book ourselves?
Copies are available through Al Arqam at a low cost, and are also compatible with several existing English translations if your family already owns one.
