How we teach it
- Foundation (5–8)
- Who is Allah? The names of Allah (the first 10–15 names that a child encounters daily: Ar-Rahman, Ar-Raheem, Al-Malik, etc.). Allah is one, Allah sees everything, Allah hears everything. No abstract theology.
- Building (8–10)
- The three categories of tawheed (Rububiyyah, Uluhiyyah, Asma wa Sifat) explained simply. What shirk is and why it matters. The athari approach to the names and attributes.
- Deepening (11+)
- Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah by Ibn Taymiyyah (or a simplified adaptation for young people). The position of Ahl as-Sunnah wa al-Jama'ah compared to other groups, and how those groups departed from the way of the Salaf — explained with fairness and evidence.
- The approach
- Children are not taught "us vs. them" sectarianism. They are taught "this is what we believe, based on the Quran and Sunnah as understood by the Salaf, and this is why." Other positions are described accurately and answered with evidence.
- Resources we recommend
- The works of Shaykh Ibn Baz, Shaykh al-Albani, Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen, Shaykh al-Fawzan, the Permanent Committee, and Shaykh adh-Dhafiri (hafidhahullah) are our references. For children, we recommend simplified books that follow their methodology.
- Practical connection
- Every aqeedah lesson connects to a daily action. "Allah is Ar-Razzaq — He provides for us — so we are not afraid of poverty." "Allah is Al-Hakim — He is the most wise — so we trust His rulings even when we don't understand them."
