Heirs of the Scholars

Heirs of the Scholars is a part-time study programme which is specifically designed for those who cannot commit to full-time study due to other engagements. The course, available to both brothers and sisters, is structured in a manner to allow for those who desire a balance between learning and fulfilment of various other obligations relating to family, work, education, etc.

Upon completion of the course, successful students should expect to acquire the following knowledge:

– The ability to independently write sentences and translate them into Classical Arabic with the correct punctuation and grammar.
– The ability to translate from Classical Arabic to English.
– To gain a comprehensive understanding of the lives of some of the earlier Prophets (Ambiyaa) peace be upon them all.
– To learn and revere aspects relating to the noble features, conduct, and character of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam.

Also, it is now with great pleasure, that at As-Suffa we are now able to offer a unique opportunity for students who enroll on to our Heirs of the Scholars course the option to complete a BA in Islamic Studies alongside their Alimiyyah qualification. This is due to our partnership with the Markfield Institute. We strongly believe we are the only place of learning in the entire country that offers such a choice. (Please click here for further details). The inclusion of the BA (combined with the Alimiyyah) allows students to gain a credited and recognised qualification that not only develops their critical thinking and academic skills but also enhances their job prospects and provides further options for each student following their graduation.

We are pleased at As-Suffa Institute to have already produced a number of graduates from this programme. For those successful graduates who wish to move on to the full-time Alimiyyah course, this course may also serve as a stepping-stone.
