RabaTEENS is a nurturing space for deep and meaningful Islamic spiritual mentorship with compassionate and caring mentors. We design fun, creative, and positive educational experiences to help teens grow confidently and comfortably into their faith.



Class Description


Rooted in the Quran is a mentorship-based class designed to help Muslim teen girls build a loving, meaningful, and lifelong relationship with the Quran. The class will create a supportive space for students to explore the challenges they may experience in their Quran journey, discover what helps them stay motivated and connected, and grow in their love for the words of Allah ﷻ and their connection to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Throughout the class, students will explore what it means to be lifelong students and companions of the Quran, whether they are already on a Quran journey or are just beginning to consider what that relationship could look like. They will learn practical ways to overcome difficulties, build Quran habits that are meaningful and sustainable for them, and find encouragement through connecting with others on a similar journey. Students will be encouraged to discover their own path and pace, inshaAllah leaving with greater love for the Quran, renewed motivation, and practical tools for keeping it rooted in their everyday lives. 




Class Outline


Week 1:  Quran, My Friend 

Students will explore what it means to welcome the Quran into their minds, hearts, and everyday lives. They will begin thinking about habits that can help the Quran become a meaningful and lifelong companion.  


Week 2:  My Journey with the Quran 

Students will explore the different ways they can grow in their relationship with the Quran, including reading, listening, understanding, reflecting, applying, and memorizing. They will discuss hifdh and consider how every student's Quran journey can develop at her own pace. 


Week 3:  Finding What Works for Me 

Students will explore different approaches to learning and engaging with the Quran and identify what helps them personally stay focused, motivated, and consistent. Through discussion, they will begin developing Quran habits that are realistic and meaningful for them. 


Week 4:  Companions on the Journey 

Students will develop an appreciation for Quran teachers, mentors, family members, friends, and fellow students who support them on their journey. They will explore how positive companionship and encouragement can help them remain connected to the Quran. 


Week 5:  My Lifelong Journey with the Quran 

Students will reflect on the people and experiences that have supported their Quran journey and practice ways to encourage others who may be struggling or losing motivation. They will also create a simple personal plan for continuing their relationship with the Quran beyond the class, focusing on habits and goals that suit their own lives and pace.
