Salaat & Quran chart scheme
What is it?
- Recording of recitation of Salaat and Quran by way of weekly ONLINE submission.
- An integral part of the Madressa curriculum and the SUBMISSION (not the points achieved) is counted towards the final overall marks.
- Top ranking students are also awarded with prizes as set by SIM during the year.
How does it work?
- Log on to our Virtual Environment (SIMOSS) - Click on the above 'Submit Salaat & Quran chart' button and you will be directed to SIMOSS
- Navigate to the Salaat or Quran chart section in which the relevant chart will be completed. The system will load the page with your summary before you can go to the chart itself.
- The charts are completed on weekly basis and with the grace period given you are also allowed to complete and submit the charts once every 2 weeks.
- The completion of the charts will only take a few minutes at the most and it can also be done by students themselves. This is possible because parents will receive an automatic notification by email of the submission and are responsible for the validation of the submitted chart. If submitted chart is correct you do not need to take any further action and if not then please contact us.
Who should do it?
- Salaat chart needs to be completed by students in class 4-8. Please note class 4 is a new addition for 2010.
- Quran chart needs to be completed by students in class 1-11. Please note that for those who are not in big Quran, specially the young students, then even learning the alphabet will count as Quran recitation.

Detailed description of the chart scheme
The Salaat & Quran Chart Scheme – 2010
Introductory Notes
The Salaat Chart [classes 4-8]
The Objectives:
The recitation of our daily ‘Salaat' can never be emphasized enough. Our Holy Prophet (S) and the Holy Aimmah (A) went so far as to say that all your other actions will only be accepted if your Salaat is accepted, and that these will be rejected if your Salaat is rejected. The Salaat Chart Scheme is a Madressa initiative to actively encourage the students to offer their Salaat regularly and on time.
How does the Salaat Chart scheme work?
From 2009, Salaat Charts have been submitted electronically on SIMOSS, SIM’s virtual collaboration platform. As of 2010, only in exceptional circumstances will paper submission be accepted. Each student in these classes is to duly complete for each week the Salaat Chart as follows:
- For every Salaat that is recited on time a tick (√) is put in the appropriate box and amounts to 3 points.
- For every Salaat that is prayed “Qadha” a tick (√) is put in the Q box and amounts to 1 point.
- And for those Salaat that are not prayed at all, do not tick anything and no points are awarded.
This is done for each day and a total of 15 points can be awarded per day and a therefore a maximum of 105 points per week. Charts must be submitted within two weeks of the last date to have the points on the charts recognized. The online system will automatically default to zero points if it is submitted later than two weeks. A full set of instructions on how to complete the Salaat chart can be found on SIMOSS.
WHAT DOES IT ALL COUNT TOWARDS?
Submission marks
In order to give additional importance to this scheme a maximum of 10% of the annual Fiqh mark will be allocated to the submission (i.e. with the two weeks grace period) of “completed” Salaat charts during the year.
Individual awards
The Salaat chart year will be divided into two terms and the top students are determined at the end of every term. These students will be awarded with a certificate and a prize as set by SIM.

The Qur’an Chart [classes 1-11]
The Objectives:
The recitation of Qur’an everyday can never be emphasized enough. Our 6th Holy Imam – Imam Ja’far As Sadiq (A) said that one of the signs of a Shia of Ali (AS) is that s/he recites the Qur’an a lot.
How does the Qur’an Chart scheme work?
