We understand that most of our students have busy lives and managing family and professional commitments can be tough.

After successful enrollment, our academic support team will guide and advise you on module selection, class timings, and study requirements as and when required.

 

The goal is simple: To prepare a new generation of academically qualified sharīʿa scholars in Qur’anic studies who will have advanced knowledge, understanding and skills conveying the divine message of the glorious Quran to today’s multicultural, heterogeneous and multidimensional society.

There is a shortage of expert academically qualified sharīʿa scholars, ʿulama with expertise in advanced knowledge in Quranic Studies and because of this the true message of the glorious Quran, which is pivotal to understanding and strengthening Islam is not getting its message across the wider Muslim community effectively. Therefore, we at Al Balagh Academy, have designed a unique course which aims at empowering learners with advanced knowledge of Qur’anic studies and to help them acquire contemporary skills needed to guide the Ummah in the right direction.
