This paper deals with the experience and the practice of muallim in preparation and realisation of a maktab class. making a correct choices when choosing methods and having the sincere attitude in both mualim and students is an essential requirement for a successful realisation of a maktab class. Maktab class is designed as a three-level education corresponding to the age of students. Students of the age 6/7 to the age of 14/15 are thus divided into groups. It makes it a complex task to organise a class in such a group for which both the skill and effort of a muallim are required. Knowledge of the tendencies and abilities of students in a group along with other relevant factors are the guidelines for a muallim in making the right choice of the teaching method. The teaching style of muallim along with choosing the adequate teaching method make the realisation of teaching goals easier. During the class muallim is required to meet all the goals of the teaching class, and in the case of any eventual obstruction that can occur on the part of the student's group, muallim should be able to prioritise the goals that can be met at that particular moment. Maktab class students are taught to become useful parts of the Islamic Community and the society they live in. Unlike forty years ago, today we have plenty of available didactic materials and many audio-visual tools that should be made available for use in maktab class.
