Goals & Method
Goals
Through this training, the Institute strives to…
- To attain the satisfaction and pleasure of Allaah subhaanahu wa-ta3aalaa
- To provide the Muslims with their obligation of acquiring knowledge in order to save themselves from the worldly and the hereafter punishment
- To improve the ummah from the root and create the basis for a good and healthy ummah of taqwaa and akhlaaq
Teaching method
- The student will be motivated to deal with the seeking of knowledge in a concentrated and serious manner.
- The subject matters will be discussed in class together with the teacher.
- After explaining each topic, the teacher will then offer the opportunity for posing questions.
- By turning in homework each week, the student is tested and monitored on how they handle the taught knowledge.
- In addition to submitting weekly homework, students are periodically expected to write and submit a summary.
- After the homework is turned in, questions are asked of the students about the previous lessons. This enables the teacher to assess the students’ level of understanding and respond accordingly.
- The student also learns which terms and words he should use and how this knowledge should be formulated.
- All of the Institute’s courses, in addition to ‘Education’, stand first and foremost for the ‘Islamic Upbringing’ (Tarbiyah). In addition to acquiring knowledge, attention is also paid to practicing the knowledge, Islamic norms and values.
- By applying an Islamic Tarbiyah centered approach, the student will learn how to put the norms and values into practice towards the teacher, fellow students, other Muslims and non-Muslims in their environment.
