The Al-Tamheedi program (the introductory section) at the Ibn Al-Qayyim Center for Learning the Arabic Language and Islamic Sciences for non-native speakers, together with memorization of some short Surahs from the noble Qur’an.
💡 Target or Goal:
That the student graduates having memorized all of Juz Amma, for the students who completed all three sections, and to be fluent in reading, writing and speaking Arabic, so that he can then join the students of knowledge of the Sharia Academy.
📆 Duration of study
The learning program is divided into three semesters in the year.
- The first semester begins in September every year and ends mid-December.
- The second semester starts at the beginning of February until mid-May.
- The third semester begins in the beginning of June (Month 6) till the end of August.
The duration of each semester will be three and a half months, approximately.
⏰ Number of days and classes:
- Classes start on Thursday of every week and end on Sunday, so classes are four days a week. Two hours and half every day, starting at 9pm Makkah time.
- The total number of hours of the Arabic lessons in one semester would be approximately 140 hours, in addition to an hour per week, which is on average 16 hours for the class of memorizing some of the short chapters of Juz Amma.
- One hour Qur'aan class at 8 pm every Saturday or Sunday.
💻 Method of Study:
- The students registered to learn the Arabic language are classified into two categories- beginner and intermediate, and will be tested through an exam. Therefore, the beginner enrolls to learn the Arabic language in the first class (i.e. first grade) and the intermediate enrolls in the second class (i.e. second grade).
- The learning program at Ibn Al-Qayyim Center is through the (Moodle) educational platform. The student will be registered and given a username through which he can access his schedule and materials. The lectures will be live on Zoom, and a recorded lecture can be downloaded after its completion for those who were unable to attend.
However, beware that benefit cannot be obtained without discipline and commitment to attend, especially since attendance has grades within the graduation levels.
- Due to the need for the student to communicate with the teacher in learning the Arabic language and pronouncing letters, we assign a special teacher for men and a special teacher for women, and the same for memorizing and recitation of the Qur’an.
