Mission
Bayyinah’s mission is to make the appreciation of Islam’s sacred texts accessible to the world. For us, the accomplishment of this mission means that we must excel in providing education and resources in two areas; (i) Arabic studies and (ii) linguistic and literary analysis of sacred Islamic texts. We believe that Muslims have the right to education in both of these areas that should be innovative, easy, affordable and accessible.
We are far from accomplishing our mission and yet we are ever grateful to have made tremendous strides along this blessed journey already. We are more excited and driven than ever before to make this organization a vehicle to serve the masses of Muslims and non-Muslims.
Strategy
To make our vision a reality, we serve the community in the following ways;
1. Free Audio Library
Our free library is a life-long partnership between our two lead instructors, Nouman Ali Khan and AbdulNasir Jangda. They hope to complete a thorough literary study of the entire Qur’an over the next several years. The library is updated every week and has already become one of Bayyinah’s most appreciated services.
2. Online Learning
This service is made up of two parts;
(a) Qur’an Cover to Cover: A flowing translation of the entire Qur’an by Nouman Ali Khan. The translation is presented in the form of a conversation rather than a reading. The focus is on key lessons, coherence, literary nuances, contemporary issues etc.
(b) Arabic On Your Own: Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan teaches his 9 year old daughter 10 minutes of Qur’anic Arabic once a day. Each session is professionally recorded and meant to be a complete set of lessons covering all of the essential areas of grammar and morphology as applied to the text of the Qur’an. The series is an ideal resource for guided self-study of Qur’anic Arabic that can help adults and kids alike. Additionally the series can be used as a Qur’anic Arabic Curriculum for schools, home schools and private study circles all over the world!
This project will be launching after Ramadan 2012 insha’Allah.
3. Travelling Seminars
Both Shaikh AbdulNasir Jangda and Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan travel across the United States and sometimes also internationally to offer limited engagement seminars that are highly engaging, enjoyable and fun for the whole family. They both make it their mission to keep a light, easy going atmosphere in their programs. Adults, kids and non-Muslims are all welcome to any one of our travelling seminars.
4. Summer Intensives
Qur’an Intensive is our highly successful 30 day Arabic and Qur’an study program that is held in Dallas every year. Sheikh Abdul Nasir conducts this intensive single handedly and covers an extensive Qur’anic Arabic curriculum along with a significant amount of Qur’anic analysis lectures. It is the best use of your summer vacation with the family!
5. Full Time Studies
The Dream program is our most elaborate and extensive educational offering. From September to June, 60 students engage in a full time Arabic and Qur’anic studies program. Though the faculty includes a number of teachers and teachers’ assistants, the bulk of the program is taught by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan. Students learn and apply grammar, internalize an extensive vocabulary, learn to speak, read and write in Arabic. By the fourth month, only Arabic is spoken on campus except once a week. Only the very serious need apply.
