The syllabus at the Institute focuses on providing a comprehensive and precise understanding of Islam through the help and reference of Islamic texts.
The syllabus emphasizes not only for academic excellence but also aims to remind students about their spiritual character and morality and values of humanity which enables them to coexist with the other faiths. The course content has been developed by a competent and learned panel of scholars who are experts in various fields of Islamic sciences.
The Institute hopes this syllabus will help those who follow it to practice, revive and disseminate the teachings of Islam in a profound and fruitful manner to the whole of humanity.
This course consists of a duration of four years, which is divided into two stages.
Stage 1 (Year 1 & 2)
Students undergo a comprehensive study in mastering the Arabic Language. A fundamental study of Islamic teaching is also provided to them at this stage.
Stage 2 (Year 3 & 4)
Islamic Sciences are taught extensively and in depth, thereby instilling good values and morals which allow them to integrate as high functioning members of society.
Aqeedah (Islamic Belief)
Aqeedah refers to the creed of basic Islamic beliefs, is a major part of a Muslim’s faith. The purpose of teaching Aqeedah is to ensure that students receive proper guidance and the correct understanding about the ideology of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah.
The students at the first stage are taught basic level books that cover the fundamentals of Islamic creed. As they move on to the next stage, a panel of competent teachers in this science imparts this science in extensive detail in order to help students have a concrete foundation about the authentic Islamic creed.
Students are also introduced to a basic course in comparative religious studies to help facilitate a broader and more sophisticated understanding of human beliefs and practices.
Quranic Sciences
The primary objective of this section is for students to strengthen their connection with Allah by enacting its teachings. For this we strive to help students attain a spiritual perspective while studying and understanding the Qur’an.
From the inception, tools to explore the Divine Message of Allah are taught. Students are required to translate frequently read verses, to gain a more in-depth interpretation of it, as they excel to higher grades.
Emphasis is laid on extensive research on classical commentaries of the Qur’an which helps them to divulge into the inner dimensions of the Qur’an while also including contemporary texts which are relevant to the present times.
Hadith
The primary aim of teaching Hadeeth is to help students study and emulate the life of the Prophet ﷺ. We also focus on equipping the students to derive and extract various lessons connected to every human’s day to day life.
During the initial stages of study, students memorize short Hadeeth with its meaning while also focusing on its application. Thereafter, students are taught the methodology of how Ahadeeth could be used to understand Aqeedah, Fiqh and various other sciences in Islam.
In addition, the students learn the Principles of Hadeeth where students are taught the methodology of scrutinizing the Sanad (chain of narrators of a Hadeeth) in detail. This helps to understand how a Hadeeth is graded as authentic or weak.
Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence)
The objective of Fiqh is to strengthen the understanding of the Divine Islamic Law as revealed in the Qur’an and the Sunnah. Our Institute strives to deliver a pristine form of scholarly education of jurisprudence from the fundamentals to most advanced level of Fiqh.
The Fiqh taught is based on the Mazhab of Imam Shafi’ee. Students in the first stage are required to cover the chapters that focus on the acts of worship. This stage covers a wide range of topics including purification, Salaah, Sawm, Zakah and Hajj. As students progress to the next stage, the Institute equips students to handle contemporary issues and views which are prevalent in the world that also include banking, finance, family life and modern-day social matters.
We provide a pristine form of scholarly education of Jurisprudence that strengthens the understanding of the Divine Law.
Arabic
“Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’an so that you may understand.”
(Al-Qur’an 12:02)
The Arabic language is taught to the students in an all-inclusive manner as it is the base which helps students access the texts written on Islamic sciences from the past to the present.
Our syllabus consists of a structure which covers subjects such as applied Arabic, Nahw (Grammar), Sarf (Morphology) and Balagha (Rhetoric). During the first year Grammar and Morphology are taught in English in order to help the students grasp the subject with the correct understanding. As the stage progress, students achieve a proficiency in the language as they are exposed to texts and applications through the study of Arabic literature, rhetoric and pre-Islamic poetry.
