    Default Invitation to Study at Madrasah In’aamiyyah. Please help the ummah.

    Invitation to Study

    Madrasah In’aamiyyah, Camperdown is an institute of higher Islamic learning based in Durban, South Africa. We also have students from United States, Canada, Belgium, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Malaysia, Phillipines, Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia. The institute offers the following courses:
    • Hifzul Qur’aan (memorizing the Qur’aan): generally over 3 years depending on the ability of the student
    • I’daadiyah (introductory phase for Aalim course)
    • Imaam / Khatib Training: between 1 and 3 years. This is to equip a person to be an Imaam and fulfil basic Islamic requirements of the community, for example, perform Salaat, Jumu’ah, Nikah, etc.
    • Qiraat Hafs (normal reading) and Qiraat Sab’a (7 dialects) and Asharah (10 dialects)
    • Aalim Course 6 years
    • Mufti course: minimum 2 years
    • Specialty in Hadith: 1 year
    • Qadhaa (Islamic judiciary): 1 year after the Mufti course

    Apart from the above mentioned courses, we also welcome anyone who wish to spend a little time from their busy schedule to experience Deeni (religious) life. We tailor the course according to time availability of the prospective student and the desired field of study. In this field, we invite school-going students (during their holidays), working class individuals (to take some time), new Muslims (to learn more about Islam) and almost anyone who wish to learn anything about Islam.

    There are great virtues for a student of Deen. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘That person who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah makes his path to Jannah easy.’ To seek a little knowledge at night is better than staying awake whole night in the worship of Allah. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘The Ulama are the heirs of the Anbiyaa (prophets).’ The prophets have left knowledge as their inheritance.

    Remember, Rizq and sustenance is from Allah. It is not any knowledge that provides. At most, the knowledge and skills are means. It is Allah that puts effects in these means. The west is filled with many professional and skilful people without employment. Indeed, it is Allah who is the sole provider.

    The following is a summary of the syllabus of the Aalim course:
    First Year: Learning Arabic, mainly Sarf and Nahw.
    Second Year: Continue with learning Arabic, Fiqh, Usool-e-Fiqh and Tarjuma-e-Qur’aan
    Third Year: Usool-e-Fiqh, Tarjuma-e-Qur’aan, History
    Fourth Year: Fiqh, Usool-e-Fiqh, Tafseer
    Fifth Year: Hadith, Usool-e-Hadith, Fiqh
    Sixth Year: Sihaah-e-Sitta

    The Aalim course is for 6 years (equivalent to BA). Our medium of instruction is English, Arabic and Urdu.

    There are two levels of seeking knowledge – Fardh (compulsory) and Nafl (voluntary). It is compulsory upon a believer to seek the basic knowledge of Shari’ah – Wudhu, Ghusl, Salaat, etc. To seek intense knowledge of the Shari’ah is voluntary and act of great virtue and reward. However, being a Nafl act, Fardh will supercede it.

    We urge all our readers to take heed of the above mentioned virtues of seeking knowledge of Deen and encourage youngsters to sacrifice their time and youth to become Ulama and serve the course of Deen. This is a means of enriching the Ummah and to become dynamic. Insha Allah, parents will be greatly rewarded in this life and the hereafter. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] said, ‘When a person passes away, all his deeds terminate with the exception of three (the reward will continue even after death), a pious child, knowledge through which people benefit, a Sadaqah jaariyah (recurring charity).’

    Your contribution is:
    • Educate yourself;
    • Send your Son;
    • Encourage others to come and assist them to come financially, etc.

    1. Urdu is more like a subject, currently some of the classes in the higher classes are taught some books in urdu, but majority is in english. they are trying to incorporate english as the main instructing language, hoiwever this may take sime time.

    2.Darul Uloom Zakariyyah has a very nice and eminent history and still holds high rank, however some of their most learned teachers are now in Madressah In'aamiyyah full time (eg mufti ebrahim desai, sheikhul hadeeth molana haroon abassommar, and molana hashim amod, and last but certainly not least, muti abdul jaleel will be joining after ramadhaan. madressah in'aamiyyah has also started another department (qadhaa -qaadi course) and has started takhassus in hadeeth.

    3.for students in boarding the tution fee is like 50USD everything included, though it is recommended that you keep 20 to thirty extra $$ per month for you own personal purchase. the madressah is secluded in a secluded area, therefore the only shops are at a twenty to thirty walh distance (which you get used to) also you arent allowed to leave madressah premises without written permission. currently they do not have a system of accomadating married students, so married students have to come up with extra money for residential purposes. for a married couple, o live comfortrably (without extravagances) you would probably need about 550 USd per month.

    Insha Allah i hope this info helps...if you have any other questions (no matter how small) please ask.

    Assalamualaikum

    I was wondering if anybody could answer a few questions about Madrasah In’aamiyyah.

    (1) First of all I was wondering what the daily schedule was in the Darul Uloom, for Hifz, Qiraat and Aalim.

    (2) Also I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the daily hifz class sabbak, sabbak para, and dor amounts were.

    (3) I was also wondering how long does the Qiraat Hafs course take, what it entails, and what you learn. Similarly the same for Qirat Sabah.

    And I am 16 right now, and would be thinking of starting in 2 years time, so how would I go about applying to the Madrasah

    Jazakallah

    Walaikum Assalam WarahmatAllah

    (1) First of all I was wondering what the daily schedule was in the Darul Uloom, for Hifz, Qiraat and Aalim.

    InshAllah I will try to tell you as much as I can. If I am bit off here and there please forgive me.

    Hifz.

    The day starts with Fajr
    After Fajr the classes start at about 6:30 am
    Small 15 min break at 8:30
    Lunch Break at 11:00
    this is normally a sleep time.
    Classes commence after Zuhur
    Continuous classes untill Asr.
    After Asr is Supper,
    After supper is recreational time untill maghrab
    Maghrab till 9:30 is Daur.
    930 Lights out.

    In Darul Quran there are about 6 Teachers, thus 6 classes. The hifz course normally takes about 2 years. (at relaxed mode)

    Alim Course:

    Salat Fajr.
    Dhikr ( for those who wish to take part )
    6:30 classes begin.
    10 periods in total
    normally same timing like Hifs except that
    -the small 15 minute break is at 9:00
    - instead of Daur there is Takrar

    Qari,

    This course is incorporated within the Alim course. In the 3rd year you choose either to focus of Qirah. or Basic Tajweed practices. The course is about 3 years in total. The Qari who teaches both Sab'a and Ashara is Qari Ismail Abdul Aziz.


    (2) Also I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the daily hifz class sabbak, sabbak para, and dor amounts were.

    Well these differ with the students ability. I have seen students here who take as much as 5-7 pages daily. while there are mostly who take about a page or so. I have also met those who are struggling. May Allah make it easy for them.

    (3) I was also wondering how long does the Qiraat Hafs course take, what it entails, and what you learn. Similarly the same for Qirat Sabah.

    Check above

    And I am 16 right now, and would be thinking of starting in 2 years time, so how would I go about applying to the Madrasah

    Since you are 16, I would suggest you apply for Hifz now. and in 2 years you will be ready for Alim course. After the Hifz course you will have a choice of doing another 6month - 1 year Dor. While you can also chose to go to Alim class right away. Its better to start early so you have lots of choices later on.

    Regarding getting the admission, send your information at :
    askimam@yahoogroups.com

    I will inshAllah arrange your letters of approval from Mufti Ebrahim. (that is if he agrees)

    The information I would need:

    1 Name (as on Pasport)
    2 Citizenship # or so.
    3 PassPrt #.
    4 Date of Birth
    5 Country of origin and residence (both)

    since you are a minor, you will need a letter of parental concent for your VISA purposes. but that is not required by me.

    If you need anything else you can either write here or email me at the above email.

    Wassalam o Alaikum

    Walaikum Assalam

    Oh nice question. It is very much relevant. Many a people after coming here complain that they didnt have enough information regarding the place so that they could make an informed decision about whether to come here or not. after all 6 years + is a long time in ones life.

    I forgot to mention on details of the surrounding. I see um-eesaa did mention how secluded the place is. I should have to mention that actual madrassah is outside Camperdown boundry. So it is actually right next to a poultry hatchery. and another residence of a non muslim close by. InshAllah one day after looking at the nice akhlak of the students they will convert.

    Ok in the madrassah when they refer to town , it mean the camperdown area. This is about a locality of 2500 people or so. 3 major general stores, 2 pubs, 1 police station, 1 court, 1 VET, 1.5 cloths store, 1 masjid, ( 1 nice muslim brother behind masjid with his wife<-- ME and my BEEWEE & muazzin), and few other small business.

    The nearest proper hospital is 20 min drive. however there is one small surgeon in Camperdown who also looks at general patients. another nearest doctor is in Cato Ridge which is 10 min drive.

    InshAllah a Super Grocery store is soon to open with Halal products and all.. Yahoooo!!!! and also, a halal butchery store is about to open.

    Overall the community is very nice... but a madrassah student has little to worry about the outside world. BTW in Madrassah they are having a BBQ today .. so they have their bit of fun as well

    Assalamualaikum

    To apply now at the age of 16 would have been perfect for me, however due to parental restrictions I will have to finish college til I am 18, before I could join. Would you recommend me starting hifz right now and do it part time with college, so that in two years I will have done quite a bit Inshallah, so then it will not take me too long to finish once I start Madrasah In'aamiyaah, or does Madrasah In'aamiyaah make you start again, as I have heard some darul ulooms do.

    Also, the Qirat (Hafs) or Qirat (Sabah), are both run concurrently with Aalim course right, so what exactly do you learn in these (as much info as possible would be great) , do you learn to read the qur'aan properly with good tune? I know that Sabah is seven ways, and how long does sabah take? Sorry if you have already answered this question.

    Also what do you learn in the preparatory class for Aalim, and is the Imaam Khatib Training run concurrently with Aalim. And in Aalim, what is the extent of Arabic that you learn, i.e. (conversational, being able to read fluently, or just enough to get by)

    Also what facilities do they have in the Madrasah, i.e. things to do in spare time, etc......

    Jazakallah, May Allah reward you

    Ok about whether it would be good to start hifz now or later I will consult the teacher. but about the others..

    Qirat Hafz and Saba are all scheduled over the three years and integrated in Alim course, that means if you are doing only Qirat that you will attend those classes.. the completion time will stay same.. that is 3 Yrs.

    As for the tune question.. Absolutely... I have really hard time since right now I am in the first year well 2nd coming on.. inshAllah I will pickup.. But we have really nice reciters here too..

    In preperatory class you dont do much.. but its for those who would not be able to cope with the fast pace of 1st year, so if you are good you do the 1st year ... you learn basic Nahw and Sarf and Aqida and Seerah etc..

    Finally about facilities.. they have Cricket Ground, can be used for Soccer, Volleyball, Table tennis, Small Gym Room, Long Tennis Court( also used for soccer) ...

    They have LIbrary, small tuckshop for snaks.. Bookshop, ....

    Enough things to do in extra stime.. They have (well sort of) soccer league.. with wierd teams like Akabirs, Vegitos, Sufis, etc etc..

    I hope that helps

    Dear Brother Abu Hurayrah

    Assalam U Aalaikum

    I dont know who to contact but I am worried about the Ask Imam Website maintained by Mufti Ebrahim Desai. It has not been updated at all since June 06 2005. Do you have any knowledge about it. Please let me know if you get some information.

    Wassalam
