About Us
Passionate instructors committed to your child’s religious success
Our Aim is to
Educate And guide
Islamic Circle Time provides Islamic education and support, using research based methods and Prophetic methodology, for students as young as 18 months.
The name “Islamic Circle Time” is inspired by the companions of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who would gather for learning in circles or Halaqa* in Al-Masjid An-Nabawi. Our programs are offered in a group setting so students can follow that tradition and learn through listening and interacting with peers.
Equal access to Islamic teaching is also at the heart of what we do. We offer classes to children with special needs including students on the autism spectrum, Down Syndrome, speech delays and more.

Instilling Love
ICT provides programs for students that helps them gravitate towards deen & build a loving and lasting relationships with ALLAH. Learning about Islam doesn’t have to be mundane and unappealing. Our born and raised Canadian and American teachers are able to bond with their students which in turn makes the process of learning enjoyable.
Instilling Knowledge
ICT provides learning and empowerment for students as young as 18 months old. We want ICT to be the first Islamic school for our children. Our classes will support each child into adulthood through various different programs.
Raising Leaders
Our programs are designed for North American Muslim children to help them navigate in their communities and become successful in their careers while upholding their Muslim identities. (it says the, instead of them, and communicates instead of communities).
