Details of the Academy Program

For Students of Knowledge ... 4 Semesters ... Ijazah’s with Chains of Narration from the People of Knowledge

◼️ We at the Ibn al-Qayyim Centre for Learning Arabic & Islamic Sciences, are pleased to announce the Academy Program which is specifically for those who are good at the Arabic Language since all classes would be delivered only in Arabic.

That the Student graduates after having studied a variety of Islamic/Shari’ah Sciences and going through their chapters. That would serve as a ‘key’ for the student to make his path in furthering and enhancing his knowledge of Shari’ah Sciences.

The Program is divided into 4 semesters:

• The first semester is from early September to mid-December of each year.
• The second semester starts from early February up to mid-May.
Thus, the duration of each semester will be three and a half (3½) months, noting that the actual dates may vary depending on the entry of Ramadan in each year.

• Classes begin each week of Friday and end on Sunday, so that the days of classes are three (3) days per week, lasting for 2 – 3 hours per day. Classes start around 8pm (Makkah time) taking into account differences between summer time and winter time.
  
• In total, the student will study 7 courses in each semester in various Islamic Sciences equivalent to 112 hours of studying Islamic Sciences and the Noble Qur’an per semester.
  
• The student will memorize 1 Juz’ of the Qur’an in each semester; beginning with Juz’ Amma in the first semester.
  

• First Semester
• Second Semester

• Studies at the Ibn al-Qayyim Center are via the Moodle Education Platform. Each student will be registered on the platform and given a username through which he can access his course schedule and course materials.
• Most lessons shall be held live and the complete recording shall be made available for students who are unable to attend the live classes. Other lessons will be pre-recorded and then broadcasted during the time of the lecture.
• Note: It is not possible to truly benefit from the classes except by discipline and commitment to regular attendance, especially since marks are awarded for attendance and are included in the final grades at graduation. Also, besides the Qur’an classes which have separate rooms for male and female students, other classes in the Academy Program include both male and female students, with females restricted to asking questions and contributing via text only. • For the Academy, the Markaz has chosen teachers who are recognized for their knowledge and correct Manhaj. Similarly, the Qur’an teachers (both male and female) have Ijaazah’s in recitation.
• The Markaz is under the supervision of Shaykh Dr. Khalid ibn Dahwi adh-Dhafiri.
