Islamic Studies Program

SIAL is proud to offer a number of programs and courses on Islam and the Qur’an. In addition to free daily classes in Tajweed (Qur’anic recitation) we have the honor of regularly hosting a variety of famous Islamic scholars and lecturers.

Our lectures and courses cover the five principle elements of Islamic education: Tafseer (Qur’anic exegesis), Fiqh (methods of Islamic worship), Hadith (the sayings of Prophet Mohammad), Tawheed (principles of Islamic belief) and Sirah (biographies of Prophet Muhammad).

We are eager to work with all students interested in learning more about Islam both in and out class. We will work with each student to design a tailored course that encompasses all of his or her goals and interests in Islam. For students wishing to focus on Arabic language studies while at the same time enriching their knowledge of Islamic studies, class assignments can be arranged and refined in order to meet these goals.

Other Programs

In addition to courses in Arabic language and Islamic Studies, SIAL offers courses in Arabic Calligraphy, Yemeni history and culture, and a host of other topics. We will always do our best to ensure that the needs and interests of all of our students are met. For more information on our other programs, please contact us.
