Talim
TALIM HUB 2023-2024
Everything you need to know about Talim for the current Khuddam year!
What we do
The Talim Department (Department for Education) is responsible for enhancing the religious knowledge of the Majlis. This is done in various ways through classes, interactive panel discussions, live programmes, articles, campaigns and quizzes (to list a few).
There are two parts to Talim—firstly, is the standard universal religious syllabus (Waqfe-Nau Syllabus) that is a permanent part of Talim in that irrespective of the theme of the year, of the topics which we focus on every now and then, the religious syllabus is a fixed part of the objective for Talim.
Secondly, is the fluid programme covering different subjects of importance based on current affairs or the guidance that the Majlis receives. This part of the plan is based on what the need of the time is and what we need to educate Khuddam on. For example, there is a particular focus on the Gaza-Palestine conflict with the National Talim department working with regions to organise discussions around this conflict in order to educate Khuddam about the Quranic teachings.
Constitutional Responsibilities
We are responsible for:
-
The Mohtamim shall implement plans to make the Jama’at familiar with Islamic Knowledge.
-
To arrange to educate the illiterate.
-
To strive to establish libraries in the Majalis.
-
To implement appropriate schemes to enhance literary taste and raise intellectual standard in the Jama’at.
Our priorities
In order to deliver a sustainable yet fruitful programme, the Talim Department has identified a plan of action that will not only enhance and grow the knowledge of Khuddam, but will also be a regular exercise so that this becomes part of the routine of the Majlis. Some of our priorities are:
- Ensuring every Khadim is aware about his own level of knowledge.
- Creating a pathway for a Khadim to improve upon his knowledge.
- Rolling out a national, year-long, content package to enhance knowledge about the theme of the year.
- To keep Khuddam engaged with interesting events, and to build a good relationship with those who may have lost interest.
Our National Curriculum
In order to deliver a sustainable yet fruitful programme, the Talim Department has identified a plan of action that will not only enhance and grow the knowledge of Khuddam, but will also be a regular exercise so that this becomes part of the routine of the Majlis. This is the standard curriculum of the Majlis that is used to measure the standard of religious knowledge of a Khadim. The syllabus below is different to the topic-based programme. The new Examination Board of the Majlis seeks to examine the Universal Syllabus only.
