“The Jurisprudence course definitely surpassed my expectations, the way it is taught gives the student the confidence and ability to interact with the text, we were also encouraged to check other books and commentaries which helped deepen my understanding across the many subjects covered. Chapters that may seem daunting like buyu’ are taught in a manner easy to understand and retain. We got to cover most chapters alhamdulillah and it was a great recap of the fiqh while putting the rulings into context with modern issues. I never felt left out just because I didn’t understand something, rather questions are encouraged and welcomed by all the teachers which helped create a healthy classroom environment for us to thrive in. ”

“My confidence increased drastically as every student is required to understand the fiqhi concepts and ask questions if they need further clarification, it's a very interactive class where no student is left behind. As a shy person, being an active member of the class was challenging but Alhamdulillah I have come to realise that public speaking, teaching and navigating social situations in general is far easier for me now, simply because of stepping out of my comfort zone in Whitethread.”

“The Advanced Jurisprudence course has been a very beneficial experience for me. Not only are the instructors demonstrably knowledgeable in their respective fields, but they are great teachers. Students are encouraged to ask questions in class and instructors make themselves available through discussion forums.”

“The Whitethread Jurisprudence Course is nuanced course with very proficient teachers. Before I did this course, my grasp of Fiqh was limited to english primers due to not being ʿĀlimiyyah graduate as yet. Despite not studying Qudūrī and Uṣūl al-Fiqh previously, the lessons were clear and easy-to-grasp, yet not too slow-paced. The pace in the Uṣūl al-Fiqh is a little faster, but it really helped develop the ability to understand texts in Arabic without relying on English translation. For me, this was the highlight of this course, learning to read and understand Fiqh texts in Arabic, without needing to first translate it into English. The other highlight was the emphasis on accurate translations, this course really helps breaking the bad habit of approximate translating. Would definitely recommend to ʿĀlimiyyah students as well as graduates.”

“…The institute is built around a developed level of study, it broadens your mind to a new way of living. The style of teaching is very well adapted to the times we live in which is essential for any British Muslim seeking out Islam. I recommend the institute to all seekers of Islam and pray Allah makes it easy for you.”

“Alhamdulillah very pleased to have joined this course. A must take for grads of Dars e Nizami courses. The lessons create confidence for those serving their communities as imams, teachers etc. and make up for the deficiencies/laziness from the days of studying in madrassah. Masha’allah I can only describe the teachers as Gems, full of knowledge and also ready to help. Taking this course has opened up to me just how much more there is to learn!”

Zayd Mehtar, UK

“Despite being an online student and not being in-person at the Institute, I have found that the course has helped me to make the jump from simply sufficing with the text I am studying to regularly referring to other texts and resources to verify my understanding and to gain more depth, both because of the teachers and other students. It has also enabled me to understand the abwab of Fiqh much better than I had before, which in turn has increased my confidence when needing to convey masa’il to others.”

Imran Ahmed

“Immensely beneficial and completely interactive course, gave me the right understanding and confidence of even the most complex masa’il. In buyu’ (trade), it gave good insight in dealings with contracts of sharikah, mudarabah, waqf, hiba, wakalah, Kafalah, etc…… This course taught me to be responsible, liable, scrupulous and accountable in my everyday actions, dealings and speech. My personal message to Alims and Alimas is … take up these courses and develop yourselves in a short span of time, and become a source of guidance and spread the noor of this ilm in your community …. No words can do justice for what this course gave me. Alhamdulillah.”
