Adult Education
We run a 40 week program, across three trimesters. Smartboard technology is employed and students receive tailored texts, produced by the institute and specific to the discipline studied. The curriculum covers modules in Qur'anic recitation, Arabic language, Arabic grammar, prophetic biography, jurisprudence, theology and prophetic traditions. An advanced Arabic component also caters for advanced students undertaking the study of Arabic grammar and texts in upper-intermediate Arabic language.
al-Muhaddithat: The women scholars in Islam
enhancement lecture series
As part of our enhancement lecture series we are pleased to announce a unique one-day course in Woking with Shaykh Mohammad Akram Nadwi.
The book to be covered is an adaptation of the preface (muqaddimah) to Shaykh Mohammad Akram's 57 volume biographical dictionary (in Arabic) of the Muslim women who studied and taught hadith. It demonstrates the central role women had in preserving the Prophet (S) teaching, which remains the master-guide to understanding the Qur'an as rules and norms for life.
