Certificate in Islamic Studies (CIS)

> Program Overview

Overview

The Certificate in Islamic Studies provides students with a solid introductory grounding in key areas of Islamic knowledge, including Aqeedah (Islamic creed), Fiqh (jurisprudence), Tafseer (Qur’anic interpretation), and Seerah (the life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). This program is designed to build a strong foundational understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices, while also introducing basic Arabic language elements to support engagement with essential Islamic texts such as selected verses from the Qur’an and Hadith.

Alongside core religious subjects, the certificate promotes the development of essential academic and digital skills, helping students build confidence in both faith-based and modern learning environments. It is particularly suited for those seeking an accessible and practical introduction to Islamic studies—whether for personal spiritual growth, community involvement, or as a stepping stone toward more advanced Islamic education.

Upon completion, students will be equipped with fundamental knowledge that can support further learning or participation in roles such as community support, educational assistance, or volunteer work in faith-based initiatives.
