The Ilmiyyah Course is a seven year intensive Islamic course covering a wide spectrum of topics. Similar to the Hifz course it runs from 8 o’clock in the morning till 12 o’clock in the afternoon, with a break in between, on a six day basis. The course also allows students, who are not in secondary education, to study extra topics, to further enhance their understanding of deen (islam) via lessons that take place after the Zuhr prayer and run until 3:45pm, five days a week. A brief overview of the course includes:

• The learning and mastering of classical Arabic (fusha) through books regarding syntax (Nahw), Morphology (Sarf) and Rhetoric (Balaagah).
• A deep and detailed teaching on the exegesis (Tafsir) of the Qur’aan and the laws regarding Tafsir (Usool-ut-Tafsir).
• A comprehensive study of Islamic jurisprudence, finance and other topics through the eyes of the four Aa’immah amongst others, covering various books including the much celebrated Al-Hidayah.
