Summer Arabic Intensive

One of the most important skills in cultivating true Islamic scholarship is fluency and mastery of the Arabic language. Arabic is the sacred language of Revelation- the Qur'an was revealed in it and the Sunnah was lived by it. 

​

Just a decade ago, if someone wanted to learn Arabic, they would likely have had to travel to the Muslim world for an extended period of time and immersed themselves in the language and culture, leaving their families, work, and other commitments. Even if they were able to successfully pause their lives to learn Arabic, they would have to navigate through a turbid sea of curriculums, textbooks, and teachers, all based on systems designed around native Arabic speakers who had grown up speaking Arabic natively and wanted to now learn classical Arabic.

 

Today, the journey is far easier. The scholars of our intensive combine nearly fifty years of hard-won experience through their studies with dozens of teachers, books, and systems from across the world. They distilled that experience into a program designed for seekers of knowledge living in the United States. 

 

Darul Fath's Arabic program is a comprehensive curriculum and system designed for the American student. Our teaching methods and curriculum are tailor-made to suit the needs of a burgeoning student of knowledge seeking to expand their horizons by learning the language of the Qur'an and the rest of the Islamic written tradition. 

 

Designed to Cultivate Scholarship

This program is actually the first step for every student who has decided to pursue sacred knowledge. We designed this program to be the first program that every Darul Fath student attends. You will in fact be studying alongside Darul Fath's scholarship program students, for whom Arabic mastery is a requirement for completion of the program. You will not just be learning vocabulary and speech related to daily life, but you will also be learning how to make connections between concepts in the Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, Aqida, and more with Arabic. Our instructors are not only Arabic teachers, but also scholars in all of the various Islamic disciplines. Along the way in your Arabic journey, your teachers will point out to you how all of these concepts are relevant to your personal worship and connection to Islam.
