Why study with us?

The Purpose of the Diploma
 
1) To equip the learner with the language skills needed to study classical Islamic texts and thereby gain access to the rich heritage of traditional Islamic scholarship.

2) To equip Muslims who wish to study the classical Islamic sciences abroad or domestically with the language skills they need to accomplish this task.
 
Abdullāh Ibn Rawāhah

The ethos of this diploma is inspired by the legacy of the legendary poet, military general,  and companion of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: Abdullāh Ibn Rawāha.  Abdullāh was one of the twelve leaders selected by the Prophet ﷺ in the pledge of Al-Aqabah to manage the affairs of the new Muslim community in Madina. He participated in all the major battles fought by the Muslims, including the battles of Badr, Uhud and Al-Khandaq. He was one of the few individuals in the city of Madina who could write proficiently, and was an accomplished poet. He was therefore appointed as one of the poets responsible for defending the honour of the Prophet ﷺ, alongside Hassān Ibn Thābit and Ka’b Ibn Mālik. His legacy was sealed in the battle of Mu’tah, in which a small army of approximately 3,000 Muslims was dispatched by the Prophet ﷺ to face a Roman Army of almost 200,000 soldiers. Abdullāh was instructed by the Prophet ﷺ to take control of the army should Zayd ibn Hārithah and Ja’far Ibn Abī Tālib be killed. Soon after the battle began, both Zayd and Ja’far were felled by the onrush of Roman swords. The battle-flag was therefore hastily passed onto Abdullāh, who hesitated for a moment before reciting the following lines of poetry:
 
I swear oh my ego, you will submit voluntarily      
You will submit voluntarily, or you will be forced to submit
Why is that I see you detesting paradise?  
You are nothing but a sperm drop in a small worn-out vessel
 
After reciting these lines, he thrust himself into the ranks of the Roman army and fought valiantly until he was martyred.
​Prerequisites:
 
- The main prerequisite for the diploma is a strong passion for learning the language of the Qur’an

- The ability to read the Qur’an (without understanding its meanings).

- Students must have studied some Arabic grammar and morphology beforehand. Students will be assessed before being accepted on this programme.
 
Certification:
Upon completion of this diploma, students will receive the Abdullāh Ibn Rawāhah Certificate in Classical Arabic Studies, which will be signed by the teachers. 

The following classical Arabic texts will be studied in Level 2 of the Abdullāh Ibn Rawāhah ​Diploma. 

Mi'at al-'Amil (The Hundred Governing Powers)
 
This is an Elementary Treatise On Arabic Syntax authored by one of the founding figures  of Arabic Rhetoric, the famous Persian Scholar of Arabic, 'Abd al-Qahir al-Jurjani (d. 471 AH). 
 
This text successfully lays out the hundred governing powers (Mi'at al-'Amil) alongside straightforward examples that are catered for beginner students. 
​
