# Madina Masjid Weekend Madrasa
Madina Weekend Madrasa is an Islamic educational institution serving children and teenagers aged 5–16 in London's Isle of Dogs. Operating under Madina Jame Masjid—established in 1994 as the area's first mosque—the madrasa combines traditional Islamic learning with contemporary teaching methods to build confident, knowledgeable young Muslims.
The organisation delivers a comprehensive curriculum blending the Safar Academy framework with enriched in-house materials. Core offerings include Qur'anic studies (Qaaidah, recitation with Tajweed, and Hifz memorisation), Arabic language instruction using the Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk curriculum, and Islamic Studies covering Aqeedah, Fiqh, Seerah, and Prophetic narratives. Younger students also learn essential Duas and Surahs alongside Islamic manners.
What sets Madina apart is its segmented approach: dedicated weekend programmes for children (aged 5–16), a specialist Teenage Girls' Programme led by experienced female teachers, and a Teenage Boys' Programme emphasising discipline and leadership. Rather than rote learning, lessons nurture moral character development and practical Islamic understanding, encouraging students to live Islam with confidence.
The madrasa benefits from three decades of community trust inherited from its parent mosque, combining institutional stability with grassroots engagement. Teaching staff are qualified and described as caring, creating an environment where students develop both academic knowledge and spiritual grounding.
