The six sciences

Each subject connects to the others. Together they form a complete foundation for the Muslim woman who wants to understand her faith, not just practice it.

القرآن الكريم
01

Qurʾān, Tajwīd & Selected Tafsīr

Develop fluent, accurate recitation with correct Tajwīd. Study core rules, makharij, and selected sūrahs with their meanings to connect you deeply to the words of Allah.

Studied twice weekly · Highest subject weighting

اللغة العربية
02

Arabic Grammar

Begin to unlock Classical Arabic — noun cases, verb forms, sentence structure, and Qurʾānic vocabulary, so the language of the Qurʾān and Sunnah starts to open before you.

Weekday vs Weekend

What makes this cohort different

The weekday morning cohort has been designed especially for adult sisters who are able to dedicate weekday mornings to Islamic learning.

Adult sisters only — 18+

This cohort is exclusively for adult women. The learning environment is mature, respectful, and tailored to adult life experience and responsibilities.

Six hours per week

One hour more per week than the weekend cohort — giving greater depth, more Qurʾān time, and a richer learning experience.

Qurʾān twice weekly

Compared to the weekend cohort, this programme places greater emphasis on Qurʾān, Tajwīd and selected Tafsīr — taught twice every week.

ʿAqīdah as a core subject

Islamic belief is taught as a clear, named science in this Weekday cohort — not folded into other subjects. Clarity of belief is the foundation of everything else.

Weekday morning schedule

Ideal for sisters with free weekday mornings — mothers, homemakers, university students, and part-time workers who prefer a structured daily routine.

One qualified female teacher

The weekday cohort is taught by a single qualified female teacher — providing consistency, personal familiarity, and a close teacher-student relationship throughout the programme.
