The maktab program teaches Muslim children the fundamentals of Islam in a healthy Islamic environment. The classes are held 4-6 times a week, 1-2 hours daily.  The system is designed such that Muslim children stay attached to the Masjid environment all the way up to high school age.  This program will protect their Islamic identities in the college environment where they will be bombarded with ideologies detrimental to their Iman.
