Al Haadi School organized its third Fihristiyyah Book Fair during the month of Sha’ban (Tuesday & Wednesday, 10th and 11th February 2026). Our Book Fair gives our children a chance to come together to celebrate the birth of Imam Mahdi (a) in a meaningful way, where they resonate with the practice and life of the Imams (a) through their focus on education, encouragement of literacy, and disseminating knowledge. This year, the Fihristiyyah Book Fair was organized in line with our IqraVerse Challenge, which is a school-wide initiative promoting reading and comprehension.

The name we have chosen for our Book Fair is “Fihristiyyah”, constructed from the noun al-Fihrist (الفهرست), which generally denotes a table of contents, but is most famously known as a proper noun for a catalogue book written by Ibn al-Nadim (d. 385 AH / 995 CE).

Our goal is not to build just Muslim schools but instead Islamic schools with a clear Islamic ethos, a refined curriculum based on Islamic theology, and the ability to incorporate Islamic teachings into the education process.

Islamic theology is a discipline in which scholars study and understand different belief statements within the Islamic religion. Theology includes the study of beliefs such as the existence and justice of God, the attributes of God, the afterlife, prophethood, infallibility, and more. Theology is a study of belief systems and different schools of thought within Islam such as the Shi’i, Ash’ari, Mu’tazalis etc. It is also linked to the worldview of individuals and their behaviour. This course will be based on a Twelver Imami Shi’i perspective and will cover the fundamental beliefs within the Shi’i tradition.
