Darul-Arqam

 The mission of the Darul-Arqam is to provide  Islamic education in the Buffalo NY area through its Islamic Weekend School (ICAWNY) division. 
General instruction is  given in English and Arabic by a highly motivated team of professional instructors and volunteers, some of whom are graduates of this same program several years earlier.  The School operates on two semesters and a summer break, following the same schedule as the Erie County Public School System.  Classes are held on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM.  Zuhr Prayers are then held in a group setting that includes children and parents, from 1:15 PM to 1:30 PM.  

The mission of ICAWNY is to educate American Muslim children so that they develop into strong individuals who are proud of, and confident in, their religion.  We achieve our goal by providing our students with a strong background  in the Quran and the Sunnah/Seera that they can draw on as adults.  High school students attend seminar type classes, where current issues are raised and discussed in the context of the Quran, Seera and Sunnah.
