Course 1 - Classical Arabic Grammar

The aim of this course is to provide a survey of the most important grammatical principles governing the classical Arabic language. The students are expected to already know how to read the Qur'an and at the conclusion of this course will be able to begin translating the Qur'an on their own and be able to vowelize, read, and translate classical Arabic texts.

Course 2 - Introduction to Islamic Law (Fiqh of Taharah & Salah in the Hanafi Madhab)

The opportunity to worship Allah is one of the greatest gifts granted to humanity in this world. The Salah (prayer) is the central pillar of Islam. The Salah is governed by the dictates of the Holy Qur'an and the practice of our exemplar, the Prophet Muhammad (s). In this course, students will learn about the Salah and its related judicial rulings including what is obligatory, mandatory, recommended, disliked, and prohibited.
