A staged study of what Muslims believe, beginning with essential creed and moving through Imam al-Tahawi, Shaykh Ahmad al-Dardir, and Jawhara with Sawi.
The purpose of this track
The Aqida curriculum gives students a clear path into Islamic belief: first by learning essential doctrine in accessible English, then by studying the creed of Imam al-Tahawi, then a deeper theological text, and finally Arabic commentary study.
It is designed to strengthen certainty, clarify the foundations of Sunni belief, and prepare students for more advanced theological reading.
