What are the Islamic Scholarship Programmes?

 

 

 

 

 

Our Islamic Scholarship Programmes ensure students are able to find a programme best suited to them.

With one day a week, through part-time study and a dynamic selection of modules, the courses provide the opportunity for students and working professionals to study Arabic and the Islamic sciences to an advanced level.

The programmes are primarily authorised by Shaykh Akram Nadwi. Students can begin their studies with the Foundation Year, progress onto either the Arabic Immersion Year or the Quran Study Programme. Students can then enrol onto the Alimiyyah Programme and thereafter graduate as an ‘Alim or ‘Alimah, with concrete understanding of the fundamental Islamic sciences.

Are you unsure which programme is best suited for you? Take our quiz and find out!

The Foundation Year is tailored for students of Islamic knowledge who are just beginning their journey. The course provides a solid basis in Islamic scholarship through part-time study with some of the most renowned and accomplished teachers in the UK. Learn More

The Quran Study Programme is a three-year course in which students will study the Quran from cover to cover. The programme is aimed at students who are seeking a focused study of the Quran and wish to deepen their understanding of Islamic scripture. Learn More

The Arabic Immersion Year is tailored for students of knowledge who have progressed beyond a foundational level. The year-long course provides an immersive environment for students to improve in their knowledge of grammar and morphology. Learn More

‘One thing we have done with the ASI syllabus is chosen the works of those people who are imams and thinkers; those who impart knowledge with reason and deep understanding.’

– Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi | Principal of Al-Salam Institute

Unique Syllabus

The Al-Salam Institute syllabus has been designed to provide students with a profound understanding of both Arabic and the Islamic Sciences. Our programmes are delivered by some of the UK’s leading academics and traditionally-trained scholars; we combine classical Islamic texts with contemporary works to enable students to graduate with an incisive understanding of the religion.

One Day a Week

For many it is not possible to spend years or even decades studying the Islamic Sciences full time. Our programmes are structured so that students are only required to dedicate one day a week to their studies, making the programme ideal for both full-time students and working professionals, as well as homemakers.

Live Online Classes

All of our content is available live online for students all over the world. We currently have a global network of students from every continent – except perhaps Antarctica! – who connect with their teachers and classmates on a weekly basis. As a global community, we come together to learn, study and train in the sciences of the religion.

Shaykh Akram Nadwi

Shaykh Akram Nadwi is a Hadith scholar of the highest calibre as well as one of the leading Islamic thinkers of our time. Our programmes are primarily authorised by Shaykh Akram Nadwi. Graduates from the Institute do so under his tutelage, receiving their Shahādah ‘Ālimiyyah upon completion of the programme.

 

 

The Al-Salam Institute classes have been the highlight of my week for the past two years. I hope Al-Salam Institute provide continued benefit to the ummah, and to humanity in general.

Dr Omar Mahroo

Doctor

Al-Salam Institute is an excellent institute that provides an exceptional teaching experience. They take into consideration everyone’s needs and requirements and help them in their studies.

Kauser Choudhury

Teacher

I had never benefitted so much in doing a term of studying Islamic sciences as I had with Al-Salam Institute. ASI gives many like me the opportunity to combine studying Islamic sciences with work/study.

LIVE Online Attendance

 

 

Classes take place for live online attendance in the UK and around the world. The weekly classes are recorded and made available to all students throughout the entire academic year. This means that students from anywhere in the world can attend the course live as it takes place, as well as study any upcoming short courses from the comfort of their home. The opportunity to attend these classes live online means students can still benefit from a digital classroom environment and interact with teachers during classes.

Using the ASI Portal, all students are able to:

• Watch classes live
• Access all your learning materials
• Contact your teachers outside of the classroom
• Interact with your teachers
