About this subject

This subject teaches duas used in daily life, such as those said in the morning and evening, before eating and before sleeping. Learners practise the words until they can say them correctly from memory.

Learning objectives

  • Know when each dua is usually said

These are goals to work towards, not promises. Progress depends on the learner’s starting point, age and regular practice, and we do not set a fixed timeframe.

How lessons may be structured

Lesson length, the number of classes a week and the pace are agreed with you before lessons begin.

  1. A few at a time

    Learners take on a small number of duas at once and revise them until they are secure.

  2. Meaning alongside words

    Knowing what a dua means helps it stay in memory, so meaning is taught with every dua.

  3. Suited to the learner

    Young children start with short duas; older learners can add longer ones.
