What it is
Baiti Madrasati means “my home is my school”. We homeschool our children, and this programme shares what we do at home so other families can try it.

The heart of our week is a halaqah for the children. We take a surah, a hadeeth or a story of a prophet, and the children doodle it, journal about it or act it out. Once we turned the Hajj rituals of Prophet Ibrahim into a mini Hajj practice at home.
Parents often ask how we tell the stories and teach belief at home. Baiti Madrasati is where we share it.
How a session runs
Inspire
Create wonder and a reason to care.
Start the halaqah with a story, a question or something new on the table, such as a stamp or a fresh notebook.
Investigate
Ask, observe, compare and explore.
Read the meaning of the surah or the story together and let the children ask their questions first.
Integrate
Connect the discovery to Islam, meaning and life.
Agree on one thing the family will do this week because of it.
Impart
Practise it, share it, pass it on.
Children share what they learned with a grandparent, a cousin or a friend.
Younger children
Keep it short and hands-on: doodles, stamps and acting.
Older children
Move to reflection journaling and ask what the surah asks of them this week.
What we've seen
What we learned
- A mini Hajj practice at home, walking through the rituals of Prophet Ibrahim, was great fun for our children.
