Madrasah In'aamiya Information Thread (Camperdown, South Africa)

[Abu Hurayrah]

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.

I don't want to read this entire thread so I apologise if the following questions have been answered just a quick reply will be appreciated:

1. How far has the Madrassah come in making it mostly English medium? What languages are specific classes taught in and can one complete the entire course with minimal Urdu? And equally if someone had a desire to learn Urdu would that be possible too?

2. Are the fees still the same as quoted above? Is it per month 50USD? I'm assuming by "everything included" that's like accommodation and food?

That's all for now.

all the classes are taught in english. Urdu is taught as a subject.

That's all for now.

Assalamu Alaykum

Maulana, can you check this thread: Where can a non-muslim study islam
Is madrassa in'aamiyyah open to what he's asking for?? It would be a good way for the brother to learn more and at the same time be able to experience a deeni environment.

[abuhajira]

Unfortunately madrasa does not have such retreat programs.

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

[abuhajira]

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
