The Syllabus is made up of the following topics:

  1. The Nature of Aqaa’id
  2. The Advent of Sectarianism
  3. Preliminaries, definition and terminologies – Ahle Hadith. Salafi. Wahabi. Deobandi. Barelwi.
  4. The historical emergence of the Salafism and roots in Khawaraj
  5. Areas of dissention with the Ahle Sunnah:
    • Placement of Allah at The Arsh
    • Min Doonillah and Awliyaa Allah
    • The Advent of Prophethood
    • The primacy of the Noor-e-Muhammadi ﷺ
    • Meelad un-Nabi ﷺ
    • Ilme Ghaib
    • Hazir Nazir
    • Noor Bashar
    • Mukhtar-e-kul
    • Tawassal and Istighasa
    • Visiting of Graves

Based on the Hanafi school of thought, the syllabus delivers a detailed inquiry into the rights, obligations, and liabilities that we owe to our fellow humans. Whilst the technologically advanced scene brings new dilemmas and challenges, remedied by the legislative and judicial solutions, the student is invited to evaluate the ‘Divine Alternative’.

The Syllabus is made up of the following topics:

  1. Marriage / Divorce
  2. Inheritance
  3. The Laws of Trade and Commerce

The Science of Classifications of Hadith and an examination of selected Sacred Texts, also known as ‘Usool Hadith’.

Usool hadith remains a challenging subject that invites the student to appreciate the legal authenticity of one Hadith over another. However, the examination of a selected Sacred Text attempts to grasp the psychology of the Prophetic ethos.

The Syllabus is made up of the following topics:

  1. Introduction to Usool Hadith
  2. Categories of Hadith by Authenticity
  3. Categories of Hadith by Origin
  4. Science of Isnaad (Chain of Narrations) and Mathan (Texts)
  5. The Conditions of Classifications of Hadith
  6. Analysis of Categorisation of Hadith
  7. Ilm ul Rijaal
  8. The Importance of the Ranks of Muhaditheen in each era
  9. Analysis of the narrators of Hadith

Morphology otherwise known as ‘Ilm Us Sarf’ is the study of the forming, changing, and recognising Arabic words. It enables one to correctly read and translate Arabic words. This subject is perhaps one of the most challenging to grasp as it opens a maze of rules relating to words of one the most grammatically advanced languages in humans.
