01 Alim / Alimah Course

An Alim/Alima is someone who undergoes rigorous study in Islamic theology, jurisprudence, and related subjects, typically in specialized institutions known as madrasas. Becoming an Alim/Alima usually takes several years of intensive study, often ranging from four to eight years, depending on the curriculum and the pace of learning.

Upon completing their studies, Alims/Alimas are equipped with deep knowledge of Islamic teachings and are qualified to teach, preach, or provide religious guidance within their communities. After becoming an Alim/Alima, individuals may serve as religious leaders, teachers, scholars, or imams in mosques, schools, or other Islamic institutions, guiding others in matters of faith and practice.

02 Hafiz / Hafiza Course

Becoming a Hafiz/Hafiza typically takes several years, with students spending hours each day memorizing and reviewing Quranic verses until they have committed the entire text to memory.

Upon completing Hifz, individuals are considered Hafiz/Hafiza and are highly respected within the Muslim community for their achievement.
