Alimiyyah Course

The Alimiyyah Course is tailored to preserve Islamic legacy, value and practice.

To generate scholars who are able to lead the Muslim community in every aspect of life in the light of Shariah and to incorporate within them the values and practices of the Messenger of Allah, peace and salutations of Allah be on him, and those of the great leaders who followed him, Allah be pleased with them, so that those shared values can be seen to survive the passage of time and be alive in our lives today.

To equip the student with the knowledge and, who is firm in his Deen, holding fast to his faith, righteous in his deeds, knows the reasons of his action and belief, so that he will not be deceived by man-made ideas nor will he be carried away with his whim and fancy. As a lifelong learner, he may choose to further enhance himself in Islamic specialization or worldly professions.
