In the USA, when a child completes a round of Qur'an reading in lessons, it is regarded as a great achievement. A special ceremony, called an Aamin celebration is held is held to mark this joyous occasion which resembles a small wedding in organization, feasting, socialization. As for adult classes, these are held on various nights of the week and different times of the day. Topics such as fiqh, basic education for reverts, Islamic history, Tafsir, and Hadith are imparted. Once a week, a stimulating speech is delivered to them on various contemporary topics, and those who are more interested, arrange to further their knowledge privately with some one learned.
Youth groups are also a common feature everywhere.
Astonishing indeed is the state of the public schools. There is a major discipline problem, the standard of education is admittedly low, social vices are rampant, and classroom rolls are unacceptably high. As is natural of a first-world country, the USA have many Universities which offer Islamic studies which is more of a disservice to Islam. Non-Muslims and Orientalists mostly run these, and they tarnish the image of Islam more than appreciating and understanding it. Everywhere in the world, even in some Muslim countries, there is hostility towards Islam.
