Dawrah Programmme

---

We are pleased to launch our specialist two-year hadith programme which allows students to graduate with a recognised Sanad of Sahih al-Bukhari. Students will learn from the six hadith books as well as other supporting texts. We have designed this comprehensive course to fit the needs of those who have full time responsibilities. You are required to attend on-site just once a week as well as two online evening lessons in the week to cover the course content. This is an intensive course which contains approximately 12 hours per week over the course of the academic year.

Overview

The Dawrah Al-Hadith programme is an intensive Sunday course, which runs over the course of two years, designed meticulously by experienced and qualified teachers of Islamic sciences.

​At Q-Iman we have a passion to teach the traditional Islamic sciences and have taken our drive to produce a unique course that delivers a comprehensive Dawrah Al-Hadith programme to students who cannot commit to a full-time schedule. Students will be required to attend once a week, every Sunday, at our London campus for a comprehensive study of the six canonical books of Hadith plus the Muwatta' of Imam Malik, the Musnad of Imam Ahmad and the Sunan of Imam Darimi. During the weekday evenings, students will be required to attend live online sessions of a complete reading (Maqra') of Sahih Al-Bukhari from beginning to end.

Students will receive a certificate of Ijazah for Sahih al-Bukhari and the remaining six canonical books of Hadith. This Ijazah certificate will be the official Sanad link, chain of narration, to our beloved Prophet ﷺ. 
​
The course is divided into two years, each year is divided into three terms and forty weeks of onsite learning with supplementary online lessons.

Fees

At Q-Iman we understand that sometimes fees can be an obstacle to a student’s learning, so we have gone through a tedious process of cutting costs to the bear minimum and provide a value for money programme, which offers a high-quality course for the lowest possible price.
The total cost of the Dawrah programme for the academic year 2023/2024 on-site is £1,550.

​We appreciate that some students may struggle to pay their fees, so we have offered three options for students to choose from. However, if students do pay the full fees upfront, we are offering a 5% discount off the total course fees.

Payment Type	Total Amount	Discount	Deposit	Installments
Upfront	£1,472	5%	N/A	1 x £1,472
Termly	£1,550	N/A	£200	​3 x £450
Monthly	£1,550	N/A	£200	​10 x £135

About Us
Q-Iman was established in the summer of 2015 where we began by offering part-time Arabic beginner courses to adults. Despite the low attendance of our courses at first, our courses slowly became more popular in which we decided to expand our teaching to facilitate the demand of other topics such as Fiqh and Seerah. In 2017 We launched our first cohort of the highly successful 1-year Arabic Awakened Programme which sold out due to high demand and went on to introduce the Islamic Sciences Diploma in the following year allowing our students to use their Arabic skills to study various Islamic sciences including Fiqh, Hadith and Tafsir using classical Arabic books. Our students then went on to the Specialisation Programme where they choose one area to focus on throughout the year and explore complex topics in detail. Our Annual Programmes have proved to allow students with full time responsibilities to study Arabic and Islamic sciences in-depth to an advanced level.

Student Trips

Throughout the academic year we hold student trips to maximise your learning.

We hold an annual spiritual retreat where students spend time over the course of a weekend with their teachers allowing them to take time out and reflect.

Annual Programmes
The Student Journey

Our Annual Programmers collectively equate to a traditional 'Alimiyyah programme in which students start their studies as beginners and complete their course as an advanced student, allowing them to progress on to independent research or a higher academic stage.
