The first year of the course focus on building groundwork in Arabic, developing an understanding of Islamic studies, and learning to translate the Qur’an. The second year prepares learners to access key texts in Islamic jurisprudence, as well as translating the Qur'an using their skills (and the guidance of a teacher).
This course is split over two years:
Year 1 starts students off with the basics of Arabic syntax and grammar (Naḥw and Ṣarf) through primers in both fields. At the same time, students are encouraged to memorise the 30th Juz’ whilst exploring its translation and meanings. In addition, topics such as Taharah, puberty, salah, ḥalal and ḥaram, and tazkiyah are covered as part of the Islamic Studies curriculum.
Year 2 continues with more advanced concepts in the Arabic language, as well as a focus on Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), whilst also exploring Surahs in the Qur’an with encouragement to memorise these chapters. Further topics such as family issues and rules of finance, trade and commerce are also covered. By the end of the course, students will have a solid foundation in Arabic, enabling them to continue their studies in Hadith, Tafseer, and other Islamic sciences, with a clear understanding of key concepts in Islamic law.
Entry at any point beyond year 1 is subject to an eligibility assessment.
The curriculum is continuously evolving and being refined, and every effort has been made to have the most up-to-date information available.
