About the programme:

This carefully designed programme consists of four interconnected modules: 'Aqidah, Fiqh, Tazkiyah, Sirah. Students will study the Beautiful Names of Allah in 'Aqidah, Ascent to Felicity (from the Fiqh of Fasting until the end of the book) in Fiqh, The Path of the Worshipful Servants to the Garden of the Lord of All the Worlds and other selected texts for Tazkiyah, and the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in Sirah.

Together, the programme aims to equip students with the essential obligatory knowledge (fard al-‘ayn) necessary to navigate today’s challenges and obstacles, deepen their love for Allah and His Beloved Prophet (peace be upon him), whilst also immersing them in the rich tapestry of traditional Islamic sciences.

Each academic year spans 30 weeks, distributed across three trimesters, featuring three 55-minute sessions per week. The programme's design ensures a seamless progression through these modules, fostering a deep understanding and application of the teachings.

The course is suitable for new students as well as those who completed the Osswa Academy Islamic Studies programme in 2023-24.
