LI Islamic University Applicants

you know, it helps if you have connections... for example

my bro had to come back 6 months after going there due to marital issues...now that it's all fixed there is this guy who is helping to get back there (this guy knows the scholars there etc.) so Insha Allah he should be back over there soon...

then in two years (when I get education certificate) I'm Insha Allah Insha Allah Insha Allah gonna meet him up there too :D make du'a for me please, that I get the chance of studying there.
 
:sl:

There are talk about opening an institute for students wives etc, but at the moment its still just talk, may Allah make it possible.

Salam,

Those of you who are in the uk and are after some good references that are well recognized by the Islamic Universities here is what a senior student in Madinah has said about who to get good references from and I ber witness to what he said because when i went what he said was true.

PS the bits in red are from me:

Assalaamu alaikum

If there is anyone who would like to apply to the Islamic University of Madinah, all they need to do is send their papers to my Address in Madinah and I will personally hand it in. however, I don’t want to un-necessarily get anyone’s hopes up, as getting into the Islamic University of Madinah is purely down to Allaah’s Qadr. Some have got in without even one letter of recommendation and not even knowing what soorah al’faatihah is (like one Chinese brother who was in my class when I first got here) and some people try year after year with a folder full of letters of recommendation, and they don’t get in. It is just down to Allaah’s Qadr and then ones Du’aa. One should take the necessary means for a du’aa to be answered and I personally advise that one should try at least once to stand in prayer during the night and ask Allaah during the last third of the night for the tawfeeq to be allowed to study in the Islamic University of Madinah.

So after one has taken the most important means to get into the Islamic University of Madinah (ie to ask Allaah) the most effective secondary means of getting in is letters of recommendation. I have personally sat down and spoken to those who accept applications and they have told me that the likes of Shaykh Suhaib Hasan of Masjid Tawheed, London, and the ‘Jam’iyyah ahl al.Hadeeth’ are known to them and hold a heavy weight when it comes to choosing those who will be accepted. Also, Shaykh Ahmad Uwais is also well known to those who deal with the acceptance of students however from what I have heard he has left London and gone back to Somalia. However, if one can somehow get a letter of recommendation from him when he visits England, then that would be excellent.

Shaykh Ahmed Uwais is back in the UK and is seen often praying in the Somali run masjid in Tottenham (North London) or in masjid tawheed in Leyton east london. He is very friendly and very approachable mashallah and speaks somali, english and arabic fluently.


After that, all one needs to do is download the application form here => http://www.iu.edu.sa/admissionform.doc

And post it to me at:

Jamah Tucker
Islamic University of Madinah
PO Box 10133
Madinah, Saudi Arabia

Below is some extra criteria that the University looks out for and I have added some extra comments to explain some of the points and to highlight others.

And finally, I have spoken to those in charge of new applications today and I explained to them my course and what I would be teaching over the summer holidays. I was told by the administration that as I am a student at the Islamic university I can give those students who study with Arabic-courses.com a letter of recommendation and this will aid the applicant in the acceptance process and also priority is given to applicants who have a good grasp of the Arabic language both spoken and written. So due to this we will now be offering a written letter of recommendations to all those who complete the Arabic courses with us. Also, if after the course one would like to personally apply to the Islamic University of Madinah and have a formal interview, then we will be happy to take them to the University and show them where to go.

I hope this helps you brother and sisters wishing to apply...

I had posted the above and offered to help anyone who wanted to apply to Madeenah Uni. However, this is my last year, so please don’t send your papers as I will soon be in England.

However, we at www.Arabic-courses.com can still help anyone who wants to have a better chance of being accepted. We are able to give recognised letters of recommendation to those students who attend our courses and show a good level of good manners and learning.

Please visit our site for more info.

Just a reminder of the arabic courses we are holding this year.

Arabic courses, covering three levels,
* Basic reading the letters, and writing them, whilst learning words
and common du’aas,
* Book 1 with other important integrated Islamic literature,
* Book 2 with other important integrated Islamic literature.

When looking for a good arabic course to join, consider the following things that make us different than all the rest…

•We endeavour to teach Arabic and connect our lessons to the Qur’aan and the Sunnah, which is something you will not find in most institutes.

•We have teachers who have studied Arabic and have experience in teaching it. Additionally, our teachers have already gone through the process of learning Arabic from scratch, which gives them that advantage of being able to relate to the student as they learn a new language.

•We endeavour to help the student develop their understanding of the Arabic language through practical application of what they learn on Islamic related text. Many teach their students stories about cats and dogs and other irrelevant topics that are not related to Islaam. On the other hand we teach our students stories about the prophets, the sahaabah and other stories and text related to Islam.

•When we teach arabic, we integrate with it du’aas, verses of the Qur’aan, Hadeeth, and also we integrate into our lessons necessary tools to understand Islamic text, like important principles in usool al fiqh, usool al tafseer, balaaghah and other important sciences. Most importantly for this subject, we teach the REASON why the arabic language is the way it is!! We teach the reasons behind them to help the student understand grammar better and make it easier to memorise.

•We aim to arm our students with the necessary weapons needed to combat the whispers of shaytaan and other worldly temptations by teaching the students the prophetic supplications whilst learning the Arabic language. We will connect the du’aa with the rules and words taught and learnt during the lessons.

•We do no teach modern colloquial Arabic, or Egyptian Arabic as they, although called Arabic, have no connection to the Islamic text. We teach classical fus.haa Arabic, the Arabic of the Qur’aan.

•We give the students opportunities to memorise verses of the Qur’aan and hadeeth while learning their meaning.

•We offer free access to our Arabic-Courses.com forum whereby the student will be able to continue their studies, ask questions, communicate freely and move forward online.

•We give genuine accepted letters of recommendation to those brothers who complete the Arabic courses for those who want to apply to the Islamic University of Madeenah, and we offer free aid and advice for those who wish to study abroad.

The other day someone mentioned that Madeenah University has changed - that a person doesn't learn that much from there. He said that to really benefit, you need to attend the external duroos in the Masjids etc. He himself has been to Egypt and said that there are other places where you can learn much more in the same amount of time.

Can anyone clarify or shed some light on this?

He did recommend Dar al hadeeth in Makkah - does anyone have more information about that?

Jazakallaahu khayran.
 
:salamext:

Yh, I've kinda heard something similiar to that. They said that what might be more productive is if a person can learn Arabic here before going out there, so that way you can actually immidiately spend more time with the mashaayakh at the Masaajid and so on, like Br. Muhammad mentioned.

Wallaahu A'lam.

It is true I suppose that you learn less and much slower in Madinah University.
There was a brother who was learning in Yemen, and his brother was learning in Madinah University. A book which he learned in 3 months took his brother 1 year to complete on the University's schedule.
 
Salam,

In Madinah its all about studying in the Prophets Masjid with the Scholars. ! madinah graduate said through his time in Madinah 95% of his knowledge gained was from the sitting with the scholars and 5% in the University.

But the great thing about the University is its Arabic program mashallah.

:sl:

Alot of people speak of how Madeenah Uni isnt the way it used to be before and its change, and its true to a certain extent. Yet these people strip the University of all its due credit, its all about the student himself, I cant stress this enough, you meet brothers who have been in Dammaj for some time yet they are very weak in their knowledge and you meet a brother from Madeenah who is very strong in his knowledge and vice versa. If the person is a good student in his home country and used to attend Duruus here, then where ever he decides to go he will be succesful inshAllah, but if the person is lazy and thinks just because he travels away from home he will turn into Imam Shafi'i then that will never happen.

The good things about Madeenah University is that you get a monthly allowance and a place to sleep, everything is made simple for you, all you need to do is to seek the knowledge and you even have the prophets masjid close to you and loads and loads of Ulama, in short the Uni is giving you all the means to seek the knowledge but the rest is up to the student himself.
 
But what do u plan to do when u get your degree from the university? The only professions I can think of are becoming an Imam or teaching a class. What to most graduates do?

Salam,

Its very important that when someone seeks knowledge or planns to seek knowledge they have the right intention. They shouldnt do it for money or to hold hugh positions because they are a graduate. But the seeker should do it only to please Allah, to get closer to Allah and to practise what he or she has learnt and then teach it to there community and those they come in contact with. If that graduate gets a job as a islamic teacher, lecturer or imam alhamdulilah. Many students who graduate do a normal day job and teach actively in the evenings.

السلام عليك



Thanks so much for the help,also...umm....Ive been on a couple websites with information dealing with Islamic universities but i never seam to find what you can major in after the 2 years of language courses...i know for the brothers they have Qu'ran and hadeeth ect. but is it the same for the sisters? and i enrolled in many advanced placement and honor classes for this comming school year (Insh ALLAH) but that was before i officially considered going to a Islamic university,so i was wondering when u apply to these schools do they look at what kind of classes you took in school(A.p,honors,regular) or do they just look at overall grade point average.Any kind of information would be helpful..and shukran in advance.



Jazakallaahu khayran.

Are there new admissions for the second semester? Can I apply in the second semester for admission for the next year even tho I won't have my highschool diploma until the Summer. As I plan to go for Hajj and this would make it easier for me to hand my things in.
