FAQ
Questions about the Islamic Studies Course at Arabi
I am a beginner with no grounding in the religious sciences, can I still join?
Absolutely, and many Arabi students do start from the basics. The first session opens with a short assessment to gauge your understanding, then the ustadz places you at the foundation-setting stage, strengthening aqidah and core worship first. Terms are explained in everyday language, so you learn in comfort and without feeling overwhelmed.
Which branches of knowledge are covered in the Islamic studies course?
There are five core branches, namely aqidah and tauhid as the foundation of belief, the fiqh of worship for the correct way of daily worship, hadith together with the basics of ulumul hadith, sirah and Islamic history as models, and adab and akhlak trained into habits. You may focus on one branch or take them in sequence according to your needs and learning stage.
Does the material follow a particular madzhab?
Arabi explains the fiqh of worship with authentic proof and honors the diversity of madzhab in matters of furu, that is the branch matters in which the scholars genuinely differ. The ustadz presents authoritative views with adab, without putting down any other Muslim group, so you grasp the basis of each view while staying firm in ukhuwah (brotherhood).
How does Arabi make sure the proof presented is correct?
Every explanation is drawn from the Quran, authentic hadith, and books the scholars recognize, together with their sources. Weak hadith are kept out of the basis of a ruling. Arabi teachers are experts in the religious sciences and campus graduates trained to present proof correctly, so the knowledge you receive rests on sources that can be accounted for.

How long is one session and how often is the learning?

The pace adjusts to your ability, faster for those who already have a grounding or slower for deeper study.

Reviews
Stories from Islamic Studies Students
4.9From 34 parent reviews
I used to be unsure about a lot of small matters in worship. Now my ustadz lays out the proof one by one with patience, and I feel far more at ease with my salah and my fasting.
I began learning aqidah and fiqh from the basics at 38. The language is easy, there is room to ask, and every topic comes with a plan for action that I put to use right away at home.
The online class is a real help between work hours. The sirah and hadith material is presented in an engaging way, there is a digital summary each session, and the schedule can fall in the evening.
