Islamic Education at JPS

We hope every Muslim student at JPS is proud to be a Muslim and learns the basic knowledge of the religion. Our aim is acknowledge all Muslim students regarding the pillars of Islam, the Islamic faith and morals and is able to efficiently apply to life. To increase the knowledge of Islam we share with the children, the stories of prophets, manners of living in a Muslim's life, the five pillars of Islam such as faith and others. We also pay attention to the religious occasions such as Eid Al-fitar and Eid Aladha, so that the children realise their importance and value.

Also we encourage the children to respect and memorize the Holy Quran by organizing competitions because the Holy Quran builds character and conscience of a true Muslim. Therefore, the Department of Islamic Education has started a competition for students of Years 3 to 6, who take Islamic Studies.The competition, which covers the Thirtieth Part of the Holy Quran, will have two phases. The first phase will cover up to the end of Chapter II and will be completed by the end of March every year.The second phase, up to the end of Chapter III, will be completed by the end of  June every year. We are asking parents to encourage the children to complete the card which is attached to their Islamic Book. There will be prizes at the end of the contest for those children who have mastered the Thirtieth part of the Quran.
