Al-Aalim Course

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 advanced stages, a panel of competent teachers in this science impart this science in extensive detail in order to help students have a concrete foundation about the authentic Islamic creed.

During the final years of study, students are exposed to exploring the principles of major deviated sects of Islam and comparative religions which will be essential as the student deals with diverse communities across the globe.

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 Al-Quran.

From the inception, tools to explore the divine message of Allah is 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 Al-Quran which helps them to divulge into the inner dimensions of the Quran while also including contemporary texts which are relevant to the present times.

Hadith

The primary aim of teaching Hadith is to help students’ study and emulate the life of the Prophet (SAL). We also focus on equipping 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 Hadith with its meaning while also focusing on its application. Thereafter, students are taught the methodology of how Ahadith could be used to understand Aqeeda, Fiqh and various other sciences in Islam.

In addition, the students learn the Principles of Hadith where students are taught the methodology of scrutinizing the Sanad (chain of narrators of a Hadith) in a in detail. This helps to understand how a Hadith is graded as authentic or weak.

During the final year, students are introduced to major Hadith compilations (i.e. Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan al- Nasa’i, Sunan Abu Dawud, Jami’ al-Tirmidhi and Sunan ibn Majah). Selected chapters from each book are taught in extensive detail. They also learn the various methodologies adopted by the respective authors of these great books.

Finally, the complete text of Ahadith are read cover to cover and students receive Ijazah in Hadith reading sessions.

Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence)

The objective of Fiqh is to strengthen the understanding of the divine Islamic law as revealed in the Quran 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’e primarily. In addition, all four Mazhabs, are taught to equip them with sufficient knowledge to teach and impart knowledge if the need arises.

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, Salah, Sawm, Zakah, and Hajj. As students’ progress to later stages, 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 strengthen the understanding of the divine law.
