The Ihsan Program

Live as a role model. Character, leadership, and the daily practice of Islam.

Classes at MAGR · 5921 Darlene Dr, Rockford, IL · Monday–Thursday, 5:00–7:00 PM

The only prerequisite: a completed maktab program.

For every young Muslim who has completed maktab. The Ihsan Program builds the character, the habits, and the knowledge your child uses every single day — raising confident young Muslims who lead by example at home, at school, and in the community.

Ihsan — excellence, in character and in worship.

What your child learns

Character development first — and the knowledge a Muslim uses every single day, taught at the age it takes root.

Salah — prayed correctly, and understood
Daily duas & the sunnahs of the day
Akhlaq — Islamic character
Aqaid — what a Muslim believes
The Arabic of the Qur’an
Fiqh of daily life

Sahwah Connect — the same technology employed in the Hifz program, with the same whole-child support and the same brain-science curriculum. The Ihsan Program is an entryway to higher learning.
