Anyone here who would be interested in part-time Alimah and Hifz courses for women, if Darul Uloom B'ham extends its facilities for women?
Darul Uloom are considering starting part-time Alimi courses for women, next academic year if there is a satisfactory demand. There are a number of qualified alimahs (any alimahs interested in becoming a teacher contact the website below) who will be able to teach and the facilities will be very good with enough classrooms at present to hold up to a hundred sisters. The courses will occur on weekday mornings, and possibly during weekends. The syllabus followed will be Dars e Nizami, though the medium will probably be Arabic and Engish.
The fees will be around 10pounds/week. Darul Uloom B'ham, is situated at a very accessible location, in the heart of a large Muslim community (Coventry Rd!), with nearly ten bus routes running past it.
A brief description of Darul Uloom:
The Madrasah is called Darul Uloom Al-Islamiah Al-Arabiah, and was founded in 1985 by Dr. Maulana Abdur Rahim. The Alimi course follows the Dars Al Nizami syllabus. The Madrasah has experienced a revival in recent years with the recruitment of some highly qualified teachers. At present there are around 120 students of knowledge, roughly half are doing the Hifz course while the rest are doing the Alimi course.
There are some really knowledgable scholars teaching there now - roughly 25 Ulama and Huffaz altogether, with at least 3 experienced Muftis. Try to catch Maulana Habibul Gaffar's (one of two Khateebs at present) arabic khutbah on Fridays - it is absolutely amazing.
For ages 11-16 the Alimi course is an 8-9 years course run in the mornings only, with the National Curriculum (GCSEs and A-levels) subjects taught in the afternoon.
For college students (ages 16+) the Alimi course is full-time 9am - 4pm, for six years.
The Hifz course is full-time from 9am - 7pm, with most students now becoming Hafiz within 2-3 years.
