The Essentials
In Level One: The Essentials, the Islamic Studies Curriculum focuses on religious knowledge that every Muslim must learn, that which is "personally obligatory," or fard ayn.
Foundations
In Level Two: Foundations, the Islamic Studies Curriculum builds on the Essentials Level by teaching the remainder of that which is, “personally obligatory” (fard ayn). And to introduce and ground the student in the Islamic Sciences - the formal disciplines of the tradition.
Intermediate
In Level Three: Intermediate, the Islamic Studies Curriculum builds upon the previous two levels but also marks an important shift, building in reasoning and application. In order to begin Level Three, the student will be expected to have reached a level of mastery in Arabic that suits the topics and subject-matter to be covered to accommodate the methodological and curricular shifts in this level.
Advanced
Level Four: Advanced, is the pinnacle of the general Islamic Studies Curriculum. In Level Four, the student is expected to move beyond simple accumulation to activation. Our intellectual heritage is not a historic artefact of the past, rather it is a living inherited system that continues to produce through its application by those with the technical expertise and know-how.
