Islamic Studies Programme

About the Programme

Islamic Studies Programme is designed specifically and exclusively for professionals, university students, graduates, those in professional academic roles and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental rulings of Islam that every Muslim is obliged to follow. The purpose is to bridge the current gap that exists between traditional Muslim scholars and contemporary academics and professionals, as well as the gap that exists between classical Islamic sciences and contemporary academic studies and scientific research.

This programme is completely online and is part-time, divided into four academic levels covering 15 essential traditional Islamic sciences from beginning to intermediate level. The course is unique in the sense that it will incorporate relevant contemporary Islamic literature coupled with relevant contemporary academic social, historical philosophical and scientific studies. The course will be delivered using a personal developmental, unique skills-focused approach which will be guided through one-to-one mentorship.

This is a basic level course that will train academics, professionals and passionate learners to achieve a good and needed grasp and understanding of the dynamic nature of the Islamic sciences, with their associated theological and jurisprudential roots, in handling issues related to modern sciences. The course will provide general opinions from all sunnī schools of thought.

This is an excellent opportunity for interested individuals to understand the synergy of the Islamic tradition with modern sciences. Graduates will have an excellent opportunity to gain essential and vital knowledge having graduated with a basic level shahādah (certification) in several Islamic disciplines and classical texts from qualified traditional and renowned Muslim scholars and academics. They will also have the opportunity to be fast-tracked to our Al Balāgh Online ʿĀlimiyyah Programme on successful completion if they wish to further their studies and gain ijāza (authorisation).
