Introduction to ‘Alim’ course
The ‘Alim’ course aims to educate the students in as many subjects possible, especially embedding within the students the principles of Islamic Theology and Jurisprudence. Many different subjects are taught in order to make the student well equipped in different areas of Islamic teaching, hence creating future leaders who have a very strong knowledge of their religion, beliefs and way of life.

Students will also be proficient in oratory skills in English and Urdu, and have a professional standard of understanding in classical Arabic.
