What It Is

What is Islamic Studies?

Islamic studies means learning the religious sciences in an orderly way through aqidah (creed), fiqh, hadith, sirah, along with adab and akhlak, so that belief is sound and worship is correct.

Sound aqidah as the footing, from the pillars of faith through to an introduction to tauhid (the oneness of Allah).
The fiqh of daily worship, from thaharah (purification), salah, fasting, through to zakat, explained step by step.
Selected hadith and the sirah of the Prophet as living examples of deeds and character.
Adab and akhlak trained into habits, from the manners of seeking knowledge to social character.
The Arabi Method

How Arabi Teaches the Religious Sciences

Four pillars that keep knowledge conveyed correctly, easy to grasp, and connected to action.

Tiered from the Basics

Material is arranged from a sound foundation toward deeper discussion. Aqidah and basic fiqh are strengthened first, then students step into wider topics standing on firm footing.

Two-Way Dialogue

Every session opens room for questions and answers. The ustadz explains, students ask, and everyday matters are discussed together, so knowledge feels close to daily life.

Drawn from Authoritative Sources

Explanations are drawn from the Quran, hadith, and books recognized by the scholars. Proofs are presented correctly with their sources, and matters of difference are discussed with adab.

Knowledge Put into Practice

Each topic closes with a simple plan for action, from improving your wudu to guarding the manners of speech, so that knowledge grows into good habits.

Sources of Knowledge

Where Islamic Studies Material Is Drawn From

Arabi material rests on authoritative sources, delivered in plain, easy-to-grasp language.

Revelation

The Quran

The primary source of all teaching. Verses are presented with their meaning to explain the foundations of aqidah, law, and akhlak.

Sunnah

The Hadith of the Prophet

The sayings and example of the Prophet as an explanation of the Quran. Hadith chosen are authentic and well known, complete with their narrators.

Works of the scholars

Reference books are matched to each student's level and needs. Proofs are always presented with their correct sources.

Branches of Knowledge

Five Branches of Knowledge You Will Study

Islamic studies at Arabi is organized into five fields that complete one another, from the foundation of belief to everyday action.

  1. Aqidah and Tauhid

    Knowing Allah and the pillars of faith with sound belief, from an introduction to tauhid rububiyyah, uluhiyyah, and asma wa sifat, through to guarding belief from what corrupts it.

  2. Fiqh of Worship

    The proper way of daily worship according to the guidance, from thaharah (purification) and wudu, salah, fasting, zakat, through to an introduction to hajj, explained step by step and practiced until correct.

  3. Hadith and Ulumul Hadith

    Studying selected hadith with their meaning, learning about their narrators, and the basics of distinguishing the grade of a hadith, so students grow used to referring to the Prophet's words correctly.

  4. Sirah and Islamic History

    The life of the Prophet Muhammad, his companions, and the legacy of Islamic civilization, drawing out lessons of deeds and character to follow in everyday life.

  5. Adab and Akhlak

    Character toward Allah, others, and oneself, from the manners of seeking knowledge and family adab through to character in dealings, trained into real, good habits.

Students may focus on a single branch or take them in sequence, according to their needs and level.

Learning Map

Stages of Learning Islamic Studies at Arabi

Four stages that build on one another, from setting the foundation to understanding with proof and putting it into practice.

Stage

  1. 1 Setting the Foundation Strengthening basic aqidah through the pillars of faith, getting to know tauhid, and improving core worship such as wudu and salah so they are correct and orderly.
  2. 2 Understanding the Rulings of Worship Studying the fiqh of daily worship in more detail, from thaharah, salah, fasting, through to zakat, along with their main proofs in easy-to-grasp terms.
  3. 3 Going Deeper with Proof Reading selected hadith, studying the sirah, and examining everyday matters with correct references, including the adab of responding to differences of opinion.
  4. 4 Practicing and Teaching Turning knowledge into consistent habits of action and character, then growing the ability to convey knowledge to your family and those closest to you.

The first session begins with a brief assessment to place you at the right stage. Stages can be sped up or deepened according to your ability.

Wa qur rabbi zidni ilma

And say, My Lord, increase me in knowledge.

This plea for added knowledge is the adab and the spirit that Arabi plants in every Islamic studies student.
