Weekend Learning Islamic Studies: Series Guide & How to Choose a Level
Written by the Hani Bookstore team — serving US Islamic and weekend schools since 2007.
Quick answer: The Weekend Learning Islamic Studies series is a graded Islamic-studies curriculum designed for weekend and Sunday schools, typically organized by levels (Level K upward). Each level builds on the last across core topics — belief (aqidah), worship (fiqh), the life of the Prophet ﷺ (seerah), manners (akhlaq), and Qur'an — and is paced to fit a once-a-week class over a school year.
What is the Weekend Learning series?
Weekend Learning is a curriculum built specifically for part-time Islamic education: one class session per week. Its lessons are self-contained and paced so a full level is realistic to complete over a year of weekend sessions. Because the levels are sequenced, a student can move through the series year over year with continuity.
The levels we carry
How to choose the right level
- Match to the student's grade, not just age — if a child is new to structured Islamic studies, starting a level below their school grade is common and reasonable.
- Sequence matters — the series is cumulative, so schools usually adopt it in order rather than mixing publishers mid-stream.
- Buying for a class or masjid? Order sets in bulk; purchase orders are welcome for schools.
Frequently asked questions
What grades does Weekend Learning Islamic Studies cover?
The series runs from Level K (kindergarten) upward through the elementary levels, with each level meant for roughly one weekend-school year.
Is it suitable for homeschool as well as weekend school?
Yes. Although it is built around a once-a-week class, homeschool families use it at their own pace because the lessons are self-contained.
Do you offer bulk or purchase-order pricing for schools?
Yes — Hani Bookstore supports bulk orders and purchase orders for Islamic and weekend schools, and offers free US shipping on orders over $75.
Which level should a beginner start with?
Start at the level matching the student's current grade; if they are new to formal Islamic studies, one level below grade is a safe starting point.
