Quran Tafseer – Fatiha to Nas
At Al Manarat High School, we believe that truly understanding the Holy Quran is essential for nurturing a strong Islamic identity. Our Quran Tafseer program covers every surah from Al-Fatiha to An-Nas, guiding students through the divine messages and historical context. By breaking down verses, analyzing key themes, and discussing relevant lessons, we help our learners connect Quranic teachings to real-life applications.
In addition to building spiritual awareness, our Tafseer curriculum emphasizes critical thinking and reflective learning. Students explore linguistics, historical narratives, and contemporary relevance in each surah. By weaving in the moral, social, and ethical lessons from the Quran, we empower them to become well-rounded Muslims ready to make a positive impact in their communities.
800 Hours of Quran in 4 Years
Committed to instilling a deep connection with the Quran, Al Manarat High School dedicates over 800 hours of direct instruction over four years. These structured sessions encompass Tajweed (proper pronunciation), memorization of selected chapters, and in-depth study of Quranic themes. This rigorous focus equips students with the skills to confidently recite the Quran and appreciate its immense spiritual and intellectual richness.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that every minute spent with the Book of Allah is purposeful and transformative. By setting steady benchmarks throughout each grade, students not only gain mastery of Quranic recitation but also develop a lifelong passion for furthering their Quranic knowledge and practice.

To enrich students’ academic portfolios, Al Manarat High School offers Ministry-approved credit courses such as HRE13, HRE23, LYABD, and LYACU. These specialized courses combine language skills with theological insights, providing a robust educational experience that meets both religious and academic standards.

Daily Reminders
We believe that faith flourishes through consistent reflection and practice. Every day at Al Manarat High School begins with a short reminder, encouraging students to pause, connect, and grow spiritually. These concise yet impactful messages cover topics like gratitude, kindness, and self-improvement, setting a positive tone for the day’s academic and personal endeavors.
Daily reminders foster a sense of community and shared purpose. Students, teachers, and staff collectively engage in moments of reflection, reinforcing bonds and cultivating a supportive environment. This daily practice nurtures an atmosphere of unity, compassion, and mindfulness across all aspects of school life.
Islamic Competitions, Workshops, and Annual Event
Al Manarat High School’s vibrant extracurricular calendar is designed to energize and inspire our students’ spiritual journey. We host a range of Islamic competitions—such as Quran recitation and Islamic quiz contests—to challenge and motivate participants to deepen their knowledge and perfect their skills. Engaging workshops feature guest speakers, scholars, and youth leaders who spark meaningful conversations and broaden students’ perspectives.
Our year culminates in a grand annual Islamic event that celebrates student achievements, showcases performances, and honors collective accomplishments. It’s an opportunity for the whole school community to come together, reflect on the year’s blessings, and strengthen the resolve to embrace future milestones in Islamic and academic excellence.
