Overview
The Weekend Foundational Islamic Studies is a light seminary study program for working professionals, students or homemakers in GTA & surrounding areas – mature teens & adults who want to seek deeper knowledge & guidance but need something that will fit in their busy schedule.
The Foundational Islamic Studies Program is carefully designed for busy schedules, with each module delivered one weekend per month. This format allows students to balance their studies with personal and professional commitments, while still engaging deeply with each subject.
Madina Methodology
Our teaching methodology is extremely unique in its process to teach students the variety of viewpoints within the bounds of Ahl’ Sunnah. This approach provides students with an unbiased understanding of many schools of thought. At Madina, we believe in providing knowledge and information, not indoctrinating a particular point of view. This results in a well-rounded seeker of knowledge. We believe in bringing the best scholars to the students, without requiring the students to travel the world to seek the knowledge they crave. Each student has the opportunity to interact with, and study under scholars in a variety of fields from all across the world. We provide students with in-class instruction and one-on-one attention from teachers as required.
Objectives
The main objectives of the program include providing students with the means to study their deen in an academic, traditional and practical manner, developing a sound grasp of foundational classical Arabic, foundational understanding of the Islamic faith, and the tools needed to access traditional texts and scholars from around the world.
By the end of this program, we hope students have the desire and ability:
- To develop a distinguished Islamic personality, firmly rooted in a holistic understanding of Islam & its various sciences, with an understanding of the intents and objectives of Islamic law, and trained in the purification of the soul and the spiritual sciences.
- To create & prepare specialists in Jurisprudence & its Foundations, Qur’anic & Sunnah Sciences through examining contemporary dynamics and ways in which our vast tradition deal with modernity & contemporary issues.
- To convey the appropriate knowledge that is responsive to the demands of contemporary Islamic society in the fields of instruction, propagation, social and spiritual guidance and manifesting their academic legacy.“
