Why this course matters: Build a strong foundation for understanding the Qur’an and engaging with it meaningfully in daily life.
Course Description
The Qur’an is the central source of guidance in Islam, shaping the faith, worldview, and intellectual tradition of Muslims for over fourteen centuries.

This course offers a structured introduction to the Qur’an and the classical sciences developed around it (ʿUlum al-Qur’an).

Makki and Madani revelations
Occasions of revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl)
Qur’anic recitation and preservation
The science of tafsīr
The role of translation in accessing the Qur’an

An Introduction to the Essentials of Islamic Beliefs
Why this course matters: Strengthen your understanding of core beliefs and deepen your relationship with Allah.
Course Description
This course offers a clear introduction to the essential foundations of Islamic theology (ʿaqīdah), exploring what Muslims believe and how those beliefs shape daily life.
Core topics include belief in:
Allah and His attributes
Angels
Revelation
Prophethood
The afterlife
Divine decree
Alongside intellectual understanding, the course emphasizes how sound belief strengthens devotion, reliance upon Allah, and clarity in navigating life.

Course Details
Instructor: Imam Hicham Hall
Location: ADAMS Gainesville
Schedule: After maghreb (adjusts with prayer times)
Start Date: April 14, 2026
Duration: Approximately 16 weekly sessions
Who Should Attend
Adults seeking a clear and structured understanding of Islamic beliefs. Mature high school students are welcome with the expectation of active engagement.
Registration & Support
This class is free and open to all. Our work is only possible through your support—please consider donating to sustain and grow these programs.
Why this course matters: Ensure your daily worship is sound, confident, and grounded in reliable scholarship.
Course Description
This course offers a structured study of purification (ṭahārah) and prayer (ṣalāh) according to the Hanafi madhhab.
Many Muslims have not formally studied these essential acts of worship, despite their status as personal obligations (farḍ ʿayn). This course addresses that gap through a clear and systematic presentation of the foundational rulings governing purification and daily prayer.
The course is based primarily on the classical Hanafi primer Ascent to Felicity (Marāqī al-Saʿādāt) by Abu’l-Ikhlāṣ Ḥasan al-Shurunbulālī, along with supplementary references such as Al-Fiqh al-Hanafi wa Adillatuhu where beneficial.
Students will gain clarity, confidence, and practical knowledge while also being introduced to key differences between madhāhib where relevant.
Studying fiqh in an organized manner helps reduce doubt, avoid confusion, and minimize reliance on inconsistent or fragmented sources.

This course provides a structured and in-depth introduction to ʿUlum al-Hadith (the Sciences of Hadith)—the scholarly disciplines developed by Muslim scholars to preserve, analyze, and authenticate the sayings and actions of the Prophet ﷺ.
Students will trace the historical development of hadith transmission from the earliest generations of Islam through the classical period of scholarly codification. Along the way, they will become familiar with the technical terminology and analytical methods scholars used to evaluate narrations, including:
Classification of hadith according to authenticity
Evaluation of narrators through ʿIlm al-Rijāl
Identification of hidden defects or fabricated reports
The course will also examine the formation of the major hadith compendiums, the methodological differences between early scholars, and the broader intellectual tradition that preserved the Sunnah with remarkable precision.
Students will engage with foundational works in hadith studies and gain a framework for understanding both classical scholarship and contemporary discussions surrounding hadith.
This is a structured classroom course intended for students seeking deeper engagement with the Islamic scholarly tradition. The course follows a cumulative format in which each session builds upon the previous one.
