FAQs

When does the program start?

The program will start in September 2024 and will last for one year. There will be online classes every week. It is important to attend weekly to gain the most from the interactive sessions with Mufti Faraz and fellow students.

How much time do I need to invest weekly?

Every Thursday evening at 6:30 PM, the class begins. The lessons last an average of 1.5 hours. If you miss a class, you can watch it the next day in your learning environment.

I can't participate every week. Is that a problem?

We hope you'll participate every week and fully focus. We all know that consistency and coming together are the best ways to learn. The weekly classes will be recorded and posted in your learning environment so you can watch them later if you can't join the live sessions for a few weeks.

In which language will the lessons be taught?

It's important that you understand and speak English. The lessons and materials will be in English. Mufti Faraz Adam and Imad el Fadili will teach in English. If you also know Arabic, it's nice to read additional materials, but it's not required.

Do I need to buy study materials?

You will receive all the necessary study materials from us, which will be uploaded to your learning environment (books, articles, etc.). It's always nice to have certain books in hard copy for your own reference. You can purchase them, but it's not mandatory.

Can I participate as a student?

Of course, you can. The program is open to both students and professionals. However, it's important that you delve deeper into certain topics if you haven't encountered them before.
