darul-ilm
We offer full-time and part-time programs at our premises in Birmingham and
online through ZOOM. Our alim program is comprehensive. The first two years
focus on developing a strong foundation in Arabic grammar and morphology. Fiqh
(jurisprudence), tafsir (Qur’anic commentary), hadith, history, and aqidah
studies continue throughout. The program culminates with detailed coverage of
the six canonical books of hadith. For those who have completed the alim program
at our institute or have graduated from another reputable madrasah, we offer
takhassus (specialization) courses in hadith and tafsir, as well as ifta (the
science of giving Islamic legal rulings). Darul Ilm is actively involved in our
local community, by offering short courses on a regular basis, engaging in
community projects, and establishing activities for the youth. We offer alimiyah
courses and other facilities for women to empower those members of our community
who may otherwise not be able to acquire religious knowledge due to domestic
needs and childbearing. At a global level, we work to establish links with
Muslim communities across the world to develop our networks and promote unity
and brotherhood. We also encourage our students to establish maktabs,
institutes, and madrasahs to spread knowledge. We helped one of our students in
Mexico establish the first Alim/Alimah course in the Spanish world, and also
helped with a small maktab/institute in Sweden. Darul Ilm is based in Birmingham
and is a registered charity. It runs with the assistance, du´as (prayers), and
regular rectification of the senior teachers of Darul Uloom Bury. The support
from the teachers is sincerely appreciated and we pray Allah rewards them for
all their help. Ameen.
