Six Questions for a Better Parent Shortlist.
This is intentionally short. The guide helps you discover; these questions help you verify whether the option actually fits your child.
Does the programme accept your child's age and current Quran level?
How much time goes to reading, Tajweed, Hifz or Islamic Studies?
Can the family realistically sustain the days, times and travel?
Ask about policies, staff checks, supervision and concern routes.
How are correction, homework and progress communicated to parents?
Confirm availability before building your routine around a timetable.
