Bayyinah Qur’an Intensive
Bayyinah has continuously offered extremely successful short Arabic intensives all over the country for the last few years. We have long recognized the need for a potent Qur’anic / Arabic studies program longer than the original evening course. It is with great pleasure and excitement that we present Bayyinah’s latest initiative, THE QUR’AN INTENSIVE. 30 continuous days of Arabic & Tafseer studies that we hope will become a summer tradition.
Not only is this a great opportunity for people who have sincerely wanted to further their knowledge of Qur’an and Arabic, but this will also be a strong foundation for individuals who have aspirations of studying Arabic full time at our 10-Month Arabic intensive DREAM program.
Working professionals, high school or college students, and most importantly families will now have the opportunity to make their summer truly productive by taking advantage of a thoroughly planned curriculum that balances theory and application.
We invite teachers and community leaders who are entrusted with educating their communities whether it is at the Islamic school, weekend school, or Halaqah level to come and gain insight into the instructional methodologies employed by Bayyinah and its reputable instructors. Communities and organizations are encouraged to send and sponsor members of their staff and congregation who serve in an educational capacity or have the potential to do so.
Curriculum
The Qur’an Intensive is the answer to a growing need for Muslims in the west: a practical program to immerse students in classical Arabic grammar, creating a thorough appreciation of the beautiful message of the Qur’an.
Students can expect to gain the ability to grammatically analyze the Qur’an and access its timeless guidance and practical application in one’s daily life. Our intensive curriculum is designed to allow a student to accomplish six months worth of part-time study in 30 days. Achieving this hinges on the commitment of not only our staff and instructors, but also the student’s commitment to fulfill their dreams of understanding The Book of Allah, and therein coming closer to Allah.
