(a)Two week crash course on the pillars of islam.[level 1A]
Course duration: 16 hours.
Days: Monday – Thursday.
IICK, prior to giving the any New Muslim the green light to proceed with other studies, offers a 2 week crash course on the 5 pillars of Islam. The philosophy of the crash course is designed to lay more emphasis on Salaah and Wudhu (ablution)
This was necessitated by the fact that having the 2 important aspects above as a topics to be covered gradually over the course duration meant having a New Muslim performing it without proper knowledge.
By the end of the 2 weeks, a student is expected to do the following:
- Understand the concept of the 5 pillars of Islam
- Memorize Surat Al-fatihah.
- Perform wudhu properly.
- Perform Salaah from start to finish without any difficulties.
(b) Introduction to Islam course level 1 to 3.
The courses that follow after the initial two weeks have been conveniently arranged into a simple modular format with each level taking 4 weeks.
In all, we have 3 of such levels taking a total duration of 12 weeks. The topics covered include:
- Tawheed
- Akhlaq and aadab islamia
- Fiqh
- Quran (Learning qaaida baghdadia)
Upon completion of the 12 weeks, the students are given certificates of participation and an opportunity of continuing advanced Islamic studies at Markaz Nur Al-islamiyah ight here in Mombasa.
