The Aalim Course

Mission and Vision:

The primary objective of the Aalim/Aalimah Course is to impart pure Islamic education to the learner in an environment of knowledge and taqwa. After spending a substantial period of time in the company of his/her teachers and mentors the student is now equipped and expected to assist, guide and lead his/her community. He/she has been well groomed in the various fields of Islamic learning, behaviour and spirituality. After the formal graduation the new Aalim/Aalimah now has the potential to progress academically and spiritually.

About Tertiary Secular Studies

This institution does not encourage acquiring of a tertiary degree simultaneously. The Aalim course, as you may have observed, is demanding and we believe that two or more degrees can generally not be acquired at the same time. Many academics, both religious and secular, past and present have concurred with this view. These studies could be pursued later on.
