Alim(a) Program

Classical Islamic Scholarship is now available… alongside Contemporary Subjects of Study

The Alim course is built on, and expands upon the classical study of Islam, and emulates those Alim courses that are prevalent globally. Students cover the classical alongside contemporary subjects that prepare them for dealing with emerging and present-day issues that face the Muslim community – locally and across the world.


Who’s it For?

This program is open to those graduates from the Islamiyat program who wish to learn more about Islam, dive deeper into the classical subjects, and those who wish to contribute in a more meaningful way to the issues, research and responses facing Islam and Muslims today.
