Who can join the Al-Itqaan program?
Al-Itqaan is designed for students aged 14 and over — high school students, post-secondary students, working adults, and anyone beginning or continuing structured Islamic study.
Can I take only one course?
Yes. Each semester you may take as few as one course or a full load of up to five. Level 1 electives require no prerequisites, so beginners can join with a single course.
When do Core Track applications open?
Core Track courses (Qur'ānic Arabic, Fiqh, and Tajwīd) run from Fall through Summer. Enrolment for the Core Track opens once a year at the beginning of the Fall semester.
Can I join during Spring or Summer?
Yes — for electives. Spring and Summer electives open registration before each semester. Mid-year admission into Core Track courses is considered individually, based on space and prior knowledge.
How long does each level take?
The full program spans four progressive levels across four academic years. Level 1 courses are open to all; each subsequent level requires the previous year's prerequisite.
Are all courses required?
No. Only the three Core Track courses form the required backbone. Electives are chosen per semester based on your interest and available time.
What are the monthly fees?
$50 for 1 course · $90 for 2 · $125 for 3 · $140 for 4 or more courses per month. Books and registration fees may be listed separately where applicable.
Are books included?
Books are not included in tuition. Each course's primary text is listed on its course page so you can source it in advance.
Are certificates provided?
Certificates are available for selected courses and completion milestones. Course pages will note when a certificate applies.
What happens if I miss a class?
Recordings are provided where the instructor permits. Consistent attendance is expected — students who miss significant material may be advised on how to catch up.
Is there homework or assessment?
Yes — light weekly assignments, quizzes, and end-of-term assessments help track progress. The workload is designed to fit alongside school or work.
Can this program lead to advanced Islamic studies?
Qualifying students who complete the program and meet academic requirements may be considered for advanced placement at Jāmiah Qasimul Uloom. This is a possible pathway, not a guaranteed outcome.
