An Nur

Academy

“

Lighting the path to success in both worlds”

Sunnah of Raising a Pious Child Islam has divided the upbringing of a child into three stages

from birth to age 21. The division is based on the following hadith of the Prophet (s.a.w.): “The child is the master for seven years; and a slave for seven years and a vizier for seven years; so if he grows into a good character within 21 years, well and good; otherwise leave him alone because you have discharged your responsibility before Allah.” The same hadith has been explained by Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq (a.s.): “Let your child play upto seven years; and keep him with you (for education and training) for another seven years; then if he succeeds (well and good); otherwise, there is no good in him.”

Why An-Nur Academy?

● As our Muslim community has expanded, the need for

additional full-time Islamic schooling has increased.

● The purpose of An-Nur Academy is to eventually establish a

full time Islamic school in Prince George’s County serving

students in Grades PreK-8.

Mission Statement

The mission of An-Nur Academy is to

preserve its student’s dignity and, to

produce a pious and devoted

Muslim child, who will be educated

in both religious and academic

fields, in which he/she will be an

effective and efficient

citizen in society.
