Curriculum Books

The textbooks we use at Madinatul Ilm, free to download as PDF for every level.

Madinatul Ilm School publishes the full set of textbooks used in class as free PDF downloads — Arabic language (levels 1–10), Quran (levels 2–11), and Islamic studies (levels 1–8) — all in the Shia (Twelver / Ithna Ashari) tradition of the Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). These are the same books taught every Saturday at our school in southeast Calgary, free for students, parents, and teachers anywhere.

Books are assigned by a student's level; if you're unsure which level fits, our teachers will help at the start of the year. See the full curriculum
