All-Inclusive Program Price

When you purchase this program you pay one price that includes everything. That means lesson manuals, textbooks, workbooks, software, supplemental materials, even shipping & handling* (within the continental US and Canada, additional shipping fees may be charged for overseas orders). One price, that's all you pay and you get everything you need to educate your child.

Sibling Course Option

If you will be purchasing the same curriculum level for more than one child, we offer the Sibling Course option (see pricing at the top of the page). With this option you pay a discounted price for the second child's curriculum and receive an additional set of all consumable materials (i.e. workbooks, grading sheets and lesson manuals). Your children will share all non-consumable materials (i.e. textbooks, CD's and flashcards) that come as part of the full program purchased for the first child.

Reusing the Course

If you want to reuse the course with a second child after your first child has completed it, you can simply purchase the Sibling Course and you will receive a second set of all consumable materials (workbooks, Mini Tafseer Books, etc.) that can be used with the non-consumable textbooks, flashcards, and software that you purchased for your first child. This means you only pay the full price of the program for your first child, and every child after that will get the discounted Sibling Course price.

Purchasing the Program, Easy as 1-2-3!

If you would like to purchase this level of the program for your child, please complete the following three step process. These steps will help you decide if your child is ready for the curriculum and if the curriculum meets your needs/expectations, insha-Allah. If after completing these three steps, you decide you want to purchase the curriculum, simply click on the "add to cart" button at the top of the page to place your order.

Step 1: Complete the Skills Assessment

Ad-Duha is dedicated to providing students with the Islamic Studies & Arabic level that is best for them. Therefore we have provided the following Skills Assessment (to be completed before ordering materials) to help you decide if this level of the curriculum is right for your child.

In order to do well in this level of the program your child should have completed the Mini Mu'min Program OR have all of the following skills:

• Can speak clearly (form sentences) and can be understood by others.
• Can express his needs, likes, and dislikes.
• Can stay on task for 20 minutes or longer (for example when playing a game, cleaning up toys or looking at a book).
• Shows an interest in school (asks to look at books, shows interest in his/her siblings schoolwork).
• Can hold a pencil (or crayon) and can write lines and circles (or some letters).
• Can color simple shapes (staying generally in the lines without scribbling).
• Can complete simple arts and crafts activities that involve cutting, pasting, etc.
• Asks inquisitive questions about people, places, things, and the environment around him/her (for example, "Does Allah see what I am doing all the time?").
• Can comprehend the answers that you give to his questions.
• Can follow directions that involve more than one step (for example, pick up your shirt and put it in the hamper by the bed).
• Takes care of his belongings (puts toys away, does not rip books or paper, does not scribble on walls, does not show a disregard for items in the house).
• Has memorized at least one surah and can recite it clearly.
• Has memorized at least one dua and can recite it clearly.

How to evaluate your child's performance:

• If your child cannot complete all the items on this assessment, we recommend you purchase the Mini Mu'min Program first.
• If your child can complete all items on the assessment, then he is ready to enter the ALP Program.
• If your child can do more than this assessment covers (for example writing Arabic letters or memorizing more than 10 surahs) move on to Level A.
