Alimiyyah Programme

We offer the Alimiyyah Programme starting from the age of 12 years old. The programme is designed to cover the fundamental sciences and allow a deeper understanding of the Qur’an and Hadith. Through the various texts, both in English and Arabic, students will gain a more holistic understanding of the Islamic Shari’ah and its principles and legislations.

The course is ideal for those who are willing to work hard and follow the etiquettes of obtaining the knowledge of the Quran and Sunnah. Though the workload in the class is intense, an accomplished student will be able to succeed by being attentive during class and following the guidance given by their teachers. This is a unique opportunity for those who wish to combine further Islamic Studies along with their normal school studies.

Entry Requirements:

To enrol on the Alimiyyah Programme, the students should be able to read the Juz Amma fluently by applying basic tajweed rules and have memorised at least up to surah Ad Duha. They also should be able to write the Arabic alphabet. Most importantly, they should have a willingness to learn the Arabic Language, which is the key to access the fundamental text books for Islamic Shari’ah. There will be an entry test prior to the enrolment.

Course Structure:

The course comprises of 6 levels/years: Foundation Year, Alimiyyah Year 1 & 2 (these two years are known as Sanatain Year 1 & 2), Intensive Arabic or Alimiyyah Year 3, Alimiyyah Year 4, 5 and 6. Each level is taught in 3 Terms and at the end of each term, there will be written assessments.

Curriculum for Tahfizul Qur’an

Benefit of memorising the blessed Qur’an:

The Prophet (saw) said:

“The one who recites the Quran and acts upon it, on the Day of Qiyamah his parents will be made to wear a crown whose light is better than the light of the sun had it been in the dwellings of the world, so what do you think (of the reward) of the person himself.”

[Abu Dawud]

Tahfizul qur’an classes are focussed on Qur’an Memorisation, with correct tajweed. It is one of the most beneficial and rewarding aspects of study, and requires dedication from both students and parents.

Our Hifz programme allows each student to memorise according to their ability and provides guided individualised targets. Students, teachers and parents need to work together to achieve the aims set. Homework is set regularly and needs to be completed so that memorisation and revision can be completed in class.
