Join Our Tarbiyah Course For Girls For 1-Hour Every Saturday: Living as a Muslim in Today’s World!

📆 Course Start Date: 14th September, 2024

1. The Course

The Living as a Muslim in Today’s World tarbiyah course has been designed to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of Islam in historical and contemporary contexts through a range of key topics and the texts of both the Qur’an and Hadith. It will enable students to develop their skills of analysis and interpretation in the context of questions and issues that affect Islam and the lives of Muslims today.

There’ll be time to ask Dr Umm Abdillāh Naheed questions during and after each lesson―and they’ll be set homework each week, and if they submit it, it’ll be marked, inshā’-Allāh.

Students are accepted from all over the world and can enrol at any time. Whenever you step in, you’ll benefit, inshā’-Allāh.

This three year course is taught at a pace conducive to the level and age of younger students in the class and serves as an excellent foundation for those who wish to pursue the more intensive two year International GCSE course with Dr Umm Abdillāh Naheed, or the Advanced Level Islamic Studies course with Abu Khadeejah in the future, inshā’-Allāh.

This course is ideal for females aged 9 to 17 years old.

The course content has been created by Abu Khadeejah ʿAbdul-Wāhid, and includes hundreds of pages of study notes with new content being added weekly—all praise is for Allāh, and may Allāh bless it.

2. When Can I Begin?

When can I register? Any time through the year (with 3 months payment).
Course start date: September to December of each year.
Payment: Every 3 months in advance until course completion (3 academic years) or for the whole year in advance.

3. The Course Duration

⏰ This 60-minute class will take place on the weekend (Saturday 1 pm BST, UK time) and is scheduled to benefit those busy at school, college, or work during the week. The time of the lesson has been set to suit as many time zones as possible, inshā’-Allāh. There will be 40 of these lessons per annum over three terms, broadly following British and US school term times. That means vacations throughout the year (including ʿEids). Course duration is three years BUT you can start and finish, join and re-join at any time. Lessons are prepared as “stand-alone” so you can enrol and join anytime and still understand the subject.

The cost of each weekly class is £12.50. This includes marked homework for those who choose to do it (it is not mandatory). Two or more pupils from the immediate family: £10 each.

📆 Course Start Date: 15th September, 2024.

1. The Course

The online International GCSE in Islamic Studies is an intermediary-level course ideal for female students aged 14-16 years (exam optional). It is also an excellent foundation for those who wish to take the online A-level Islamic Studies course in the future.

If you’ve always wanted to study Islam formally in a structured manner (in English), then this is the ideal course for you. You do not have to do the exam at the end of the two years, but if you do, it is a qualification that is recognised by every college and university worldwide. Furthermore, this course is adapted and material produced by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah in light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, and the understanding of the early Muslim scholars (Salaf).

It is unique with no equivalent in the English language that we know of. Shaikh Abu Khadeejah has prepared hundreds of pages of study materials to which you will have access.

These are interactive online audio classes conducted via the Google Classroom platform. The lesson style is personal and friendly, and there is plenty of opportunity to ask and answer questions.

Question: Can students enrol on Pearson Edexcel International GCSE in Islamic Studies course at any time throughout the year?

Answer: We have decided that whoever wishes to join us can do so at any time between September and December of each academic year. We have designed each week as a stand-alone lesson which means that previous knowledge is not essential (though it may be helpful). This course is open to women only, and the fees are reasonable considering the extensive content and bespoke study notes.

2. When Can I Begin?

When can I register? Any time through the year (with 3 months payment).
Course start date: September to December of each year.
Payment: Every 3 months in advance until course completion (2 academic years) or for the whole year in advance.

The IGCSE course consists of three key sections and one exam paper only that is normally taken by students at the end of the two-year course.

Our students are not required to take the exam if they choose not to. However, if you sit the IGCSE exam, the awarding body is the Edexcel Exam Board. This course covers dozens of subjects and topics spanning hundreds of pages of study notes. Each year, Dr Umm Abdillāh Naheed teaches the course and has arranged the subjects in such a manner that she can take on a new cohort of students every September for a period of two years, during which they will complete every topic in all three key sections in that time, inshā’-Allāh.

So, in Year 1, she ordinarily teaches Section A and half of Section B, and in Year 2, she teaches the remaining half of section B and Section C. So, it does not matter in which year you join ― as long as you stay the full two years you will have completed all three key sections. Furthermore, even if you do not sit the exam, but have completed 80% of the homework, Dr Umm Abdillāh Naheed will issue you a certificate of completion and success which will be approved by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah, as long as you are a person of Sunnah and can provide a Salafi character reference.

8. Overview of how you will be Studying the Course

Inshā’-Allāh, we intend to teach this course from the perspective of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah (The People of Sunnah and the Main Body, i.e., those who follow the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and cling to the path of his noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them) following in that the methodology and traditions of the early Ahlul-Ḥadīth scholars: The People of Ḥadīth adhere to the narrations authentically reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions―and regard that to be more important than the individual opinions of those who came in later times. We intend to take nothing for granted―every aspect of the syllabus will be studied critically. Students will be taught to analyse texts, theories and assumptions of various Islamic orientations and compare them to the Creed, Methodology and Fiqh (Jurisprudence) of the early scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah, Ahlul-Ḥadīth and the Salaf As-Ṣālih (The Righteous Predecessors are the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the three generations of Muslims who came after them) ―then draw conclusions and formulate views.

We will be teaching these subjects in a format that will enable students to pass the IGCSE Islamic Studies exam (inshā’-Allāh). This is an IGCSE level course and therefore requires students to read around topics and not just rely on the two hours a week from the lessons. Having said that, Dr Umm Abdillāh Naheed will teach the students well (inshā’-Allāh), explain things thoroughly, interact with them, and answer their questions.

9. Previous knowledge

Previous knowledge of Islam is not a requirement to join this course (as stated by Edexcel in their syllabus). Please download and read the complete syllabus here.

11. Course fees

Having said that, if you just want to learn and benefit without taking exams at the end of the two years, you are welcome to join us!

10. Online Classroom: How it works

1. Gmail: Students will need a Gmail (Google email) account. Once you’ve set it up, please email me from the Gmail account with your full name.

2. Lesson Format: I intend to use “Google Meet” and “Google Classroom” to conduct the classes. Please take time to familiarise yourselves with both. Don’t worry too much if you cannot grasp it immediately, I will help you along.

3. Assignments: If you choose to do them, assignments will be submitted via Google Classroom.

4. Computer: Students will need to have regular access to a laptop or desktop computer for use in lessons and for submitting assignments. Students must be in a quiet space free from distractions.

5. Headphones: are mandatory so that my voice is heard by the student only. I will not accept the excuse that there are just women in the room or that earphones are unavailable/broken. If this happens, I will ask the student to leave the lesson until they have earphones/headphones.

6. Camera: Students need a camera so I can check they are engaged and paying attention to the lesson; this is also mandatory. If the camera is not switched on students will not be permitted into the lesson.

7. Questions: Students will be able to communicate with me and ask questions relevant to the class during and after the lesson (within an allotted time).  Students will also have access to me via WhatsApp for occasional questions and clarifications (inshā’-Allāh). Any questions I am unable to answer I will forward to Shaikh Abu Khadeejah and although I cannot always guarantee a response, I will try my best whenever possible to get one. Parents of younger students are welcome to access and view these conversations. 

8. Language: All lessons will be conducted in English, so Arabic is not a requirement.

9. Homework and assessments: Students will be assigned weekly homework tasks for all the courses on offer (to be uploaded onto online classroom) which students/parents must ensure are completed regularly to ensure progress.

10. Comprehensive study-notes/worksheets There are no audio-recordings available for those who miss a lesson. However, each lesson is coupled with comprehensive study-notes/worksheets which are available to the student in a PDF format the materials section of the Google Classroom. These will aid you in learning the relevant topics that will ensure you’ll pass the final exam at the end of the two academic years (if you have an exam), inshā’-Allāh. These class notes/study articles are also for you to revise or catch up in case you miss lessons.

11. Stay in Touch with me: Students can WhatsApp me directly or use the online classroom function (or email) if they need to contact me for any reason.

12. Work Ethic: Students should be used to studying. So, please attend on time, pay attention to the class, and take notes or make mind-maps. This will form the backbone of your work.

13. Copyrighted Material: Please make sure that you store all your study material in a single easily accessible folder. By the end of the two/three years, you will have a lot of material, inshā’-Allāh. Please do not share the material with others, it is for your use only.

11. Customer reviews
