The blog: notes from our teachers
Written by the people who teach here, mostly in answer to questions families actually ask us.
No listicles, and nothing written to fill a schedule. If we do not have something useful to say about a topic, we leave it alone until we do.

Who writes these
Our teachers, and the people who work with them every day. Where a post covers something specific, such as a rule of tajweed or the mechanics of revision, it is reviewed by a teacher who teaches that subject before it goes up.
Posts are published under Team @ Taqwa Foundation unless an individual teacher wants their own name on one, in which case you will see it.

When reading is not the thing you need
Everything here is written to be genuinely useful on its own. But no article can hear your child read, and that is where the actual progress happens.
