Abu Zahra Foundation [MAP ]
Based on the classical text Nur al-Idha by Imam Shurunbulali (d.1069), a major Hanafi imam and verifier (muhaqiq) whose works form an integral part of the school, this course will cover an in-depth study of the rulings pertaining to purification and prayer. The unique aspect of this course will be the focus on a deeper comprehension of the text and not merely a superficial reading; additional notes will be provided by the teacher to aid this process as well as review questions to check understanding. This course is ideal for a beginner or for somebody who wants build on previous study of the subject.
Arabic is the foundation of our knowledge and an indispensable tool for any serious student of knowledge. To acquire a sound grammatical basis and to be able to read Arabic texts in the various Islamic Sciences is the ultimate goal of our Arabic programme. Based on Madina Book 2 you will get a fusion between the classical and modern approach to learning Arabic. The course will focus on three key areas of the Arabic language, Grammar (Nahu), Etymology (Sarf), Reading (Qira’) and the memorisation of vocabulary, translations of texts, and written exercises.
The weekly class consists of instruction in the theoretical aspects of the course accompanied by excellent notes particularly written for this course by the teacher and re-visiting the homework from the previous week to ensure that concepts have been understood and firmly embedded. The class is highly interactive and students will also be given specially designed weekly homework assignments which will give you a unique learning experience. Students are required to be able to read (without understanding) and write Arabic competently.
PLACES AVAILABLE (This is a continued course from last semester. There are places available for new students. If you have studied Arabic before, please apply and we will attempt to accomodate you.
