A structured course designed to equip students with the confidence and tools required to solve advanced Arabic texts.

This course is for those who want to refresh and improve their knowledge of the Arabic language, bridge the gap between theory and application and develop confidence in reading advanced Arabic texts, and engage with the original sources of Islamic scholarship.

• Have you completed the ‘alimiyya course but feel that you could have worked harder at mastering the Arabic language?

• Did you graduate many years ago from an ‘alimiyya course and now feel your understanding of the Arabic texts is rusty?

• Are you currently teaching others but feel like you could improve your grasp of Arabic religious texts and enhance your teaching?

• Or have you studied Arabic at a basic or intermediate level and now want to take your studies to the next stage and start understanding advanced Arabic texts in tafsir, hadith, aqidah, fiqh, adab, and other subjects?

If you are any of the above, then Sibawayh* Program is for you. It has been carefully designed as a refresher course to help build your confidence and assist you in your studies, reading, teaching, and guiding others.
