At Waraqa, our Islamic Studies program is built around you. Students work with Waraqa's scholars to design a personalized course focusing on one or more of the following subjects:
- Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence): Learn the Islamic legal rulings governing the activities of daily living — the rules of prayer (Salah), fasting (Sawm), almsgiving (Zakah), and pilgrimage (Hajj).
- Hadith: Develop your knowledge of the prophetic traditions — what Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said and did in various situations — and the sciences that preserve and authenticate these narrations.
- Tafsir: Cultivate a deep understanding of the meanings of the Quran. Develop a familiarity with the divine message that enhances your experience of prayer and Quranic recitation.
- Aqidah (Islamic Creed): Develop your relationship with Allah by studying what the Quran and Hadith tell us about the nature of the Divine, the unseen, and the foundations of Islamic belief.
- Islamic History: Learn about the lives of the Prophet ﷺ, his Companions, and the early Islamic communities — understanding where we came from and who we are as an Ummah.
Our scholars do not belong to any specific sect or Islamic trend. We teach from the authentic sources with scholarly rigour and present balanced, evidence-based knowledge.

How class time is used
Pick the class format that fits your week
You decide how the lesson time is spent. Tell us your preference when you book — your teacher will adapt accordingly and adjust as the student progresses.
Pre-read at home, discuss in class
Each week the student reads or watches a short selected resource at home, then class time is for discussion, questions, and going deeper with the teacher. Excellent for adult learners.
Teacher-led reading and explanation in class
The teacher reads the lesson with the student inside the live hour and explains every line. No homework expected. The standard format for younger students.
Project-based: assignments + live review
Short writing or memorization assignments (a hadith, a dua, a chapter of fiqh) are completed at home; class time is spent reviewing them and adding context. Builds real retention over a term.
