There are plans to expand it for all ages and move into a larger facility. A campaign started to raise money to construct the center. Toddlers to teenagers spend their first hour of Sunday School learning about the history of Islam and God. In the second hour, after lunch, students learn Arabic and lessons from the Koran, Muslims' holy book. Students are divided into different classes according to age groups.
Classes end shortly before prayer, which is required five times a day.
The Islamic Sunday School provides a spiritual foundation for its students and a social connection. It was something we didn't have when I was growing up here because the community was so small. But it is a necessity for our children. It's a welcome retreat for many students who may not have many Muslim peers in their schools. Our children get together with other people in the community and learn Arabic.
