For those who have time and ability, all Jamia Al Maarif Islamic courses are available free of charge for reverts enrolled onto the mentoring programme, however we do suggest sensible and realistic goals to enable the knowledge learnt to digest as well as to prevent students from crashing down the line.
An essential knowledge base for any new Muslim. This course includes short surahs and duas memorization (with explanation) session, Seerah (Life of the Holy Prophet ﷺ session, Islamic Fiqh (covering necessary obligations of Taharah and Salah) & a Q&A session with Shaykha – Dr S C Nasrullah; providing an exclusive opportunity for new Muslims enrolled within the course to put forward questions or request any topic which they desire further light on. This course provides an excellent foundation for further studies upon completion.
An informal weekly meeting with your mentor (over the phone or zoom) to review your progress, ask any questions and just to see how you’re doing.
Exclusive reverts tajweed slots have been assigned for sisters enrolled onto the Mentoring Programme (for those who wish to do tajweed), this is not compulsory. However, those who do really enjoy the extra hour in the week with their mentors and progress so much over the year without even realising!
The men’s course is overlooked by Shaykh MA Karim & the ladies course is overlooked by Dr SC Nasrullah both of whom many have embraced Islam in the hands of. To ensure all mentees are happy and progressing accordingly, all mentees will attend an 8-week review with Shaykh or Shaykha. This is an opportunity to discuss how the meetings have been going, how you are learning and get answers for any Fiqh or Islamic related matters according to the Qur’an and Sunnah.
At the end of the course your progress be reviewed by Shaykh or Shaykha along with your mentor. You will be given the opportunity to express if you would like to extend the Mentoring Programme for a further year, or some months. The majority of reverts upon completion of the Reverts Mentoring Programme will be recommended onto further studies according to their interests, schedule and abilities.
