Tafseer
Qur’anic Exegesis
Intermediate → Advanced

- Contexts of revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul)

Fiqh
Islamic Jurisprudence
Beginner → Advanced
Fiqh is the practical understanding of how to live the commands of Allah and the Sunnah in daily life — how to pray, purify, fast, give charity, trade, marry, and bury the dead, each in the way taught by the Prophet ﷺ. The word fiqh literally means “deep understanding.” In these structured lessons you will learn the rulings of worship (‘ibadat) and social dealings (mu‘amalat) step by step, beginning with purification and prayer, so that your practice rests on knowledge rather than habit.
What you’ll learn
- Purification (Taharah) & Wudu
- The Prayer (Salah) — its pillars & conditions
- Fasting & Ramadan rulings
- Zakah & charity
- Halal trade & earning
- Family & marriage rulings
Hadith
Prophetic Traditions
Beginner → Advanced
The hadith are the recorded sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — the living commentary on the Qur’an and the second source of Islamic guidance. In this course you will study the science of Hadith: how each narration was preserved, the rigorous method of authentication (isnad and matn), the Six Books (Kutub al-Sittah), and selected collections such as Riyad as-Saliheen and Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi, learning to draw life and character from the words of the Messenger ﷺ.
What you’ll learn
- The science of Hadith & isnad
- The Kutub al-Sittah (Six Books)
- Imam Nawawi’s Forty Hadith
- Riyad as-Saliheen — selected readings
- Authenticating narrations
- Living the Sunnah in character
Aqeedah
Islamic Creed
Beginner → Advanced
Aqeedah is the foundation of faith — what the heart holds to be true about Allah, His names and attributes, the angels, the revealed books, the messengers, the Last Day, and divine decree. A sound creed is the bedrock upon which all worship and character are built. These lessons root the believer in the clarity of the Qur’an and the Prophetic teaching, far from both distortion and excess, so that faith is built on certainty rather than inherited assumption.
What you’ll learn
- The Oneness of Allah (Tawhid)
- The ninety-nine Names & Attributes
- The six pillars of Iman
- Belief in the Last Day & the unseen
- Divine decree (Qadar)
- Protecting the heart from doubt
Arabic
Language of the Qur’an
Beginner → Advanced
Arabic is the language Allah chose for His final revelation — the key that unlocks the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and fourteen centuries of Islamic scholarship. This course takes you from the letters and sounds to grammar (nahw) and morphology (sarf), building toward the ability to read the Book of Allah and the words of the Prophet ﷺ with direct understanding, so that worship flows from comprehension rather than translation.
What you’ll learn
- Letters, sounds & reading
- Basic grammar (Nahw)
- Word-formation (Sarf)
- Vocabulary of the Qur’an
- Building reading fluency
- Understanding simple hadith in Arabic
Tazkiyyah
Purification of the Heart
All levels
Tazkiyyah is the purification of the soul — the lifelong work of cleansing the heart from its diseases (arrogance, envy, greed, heedlessness, attachment to the world) and adorning it with its remedies (sincerity, gratitude, patience, humility, love of God). It is the inner dimension of the Prophetic teaching, and the heart of this entire app. These lessons, drawn from classical works of the scholars of the heart, guide you to know your own soul, watch over it (muraqabah), and bring it to account (muhasabah) — until it returns to its original purity.
What you’ll learn
- The diseases of the heart & their cures
- Sincerity (Ikhlas) & intention
- Gratitude, patience & contentment
- Self-watchfulness (Muraqabah)
- Self-accountability (Muhasabah)
- Dhikr & the company of the righteous
Seerah
Prophet’s Biography
Beginner → Advanced
The Seerah is the living biography of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — the story of the most beloved of creation, from his birth in Makkah to his passing in Madinah. To study the Seerah is to fall in love with the Messenger ﷺ, to see the Qur’an embodied in a human life, and to find in his patience, mercy, courage, and gentleness a model for every situation we face. These lessons trace his life year by year, drawing lessons for the heart and the home, so that his example becomes the compass of your own life.
What you’ll learn
- Makkah: birth, prophethood & patience
- The migration (Hijrah) to Madinah
- Building the community in Madinah
- The treaties & the conquest of Makkah
- The Farewell Pilgrimage & legacy
- Lessons for character & family life
