What is the

Fall Evening Deen Explorers Program

A Simple, Meaningful Way to Stay Connected

The Miftaah Juniors Evening Deen Explorers program is a heart-centered, semester-long journey designed to help children build a lasting connection with their faith. Over 13 weeks, students will explore the beauty of Islam through Qur’an, the life of the Prophet ﷺ, and practical lessons in character and worship — all in a warm, structured, and engaging classroom environment.

We believe Islamic education should be more than just memorization — it should nurture the heart, shape character, and inspire love for Allah ﷻ and His Messenger ﷺ.

 Program Highlights

  • Students are grouped by grade level for age-appropriate instruction and activities
  • Experienced, caring teachers in each classroom
  • Weekly memorization goals and sticker-based recognition
  • End-of-term celebration and student showcase
