Move Like Lightning Through The 3 Stages Of Arabic Mastery: From “No Clue At All” to “This Is Easy” In A Few Short Weeks… And Then On Through “Reading Unvoweled Texts Like A Scholar” To “Understanding 80% Of What You Hear From The Qur’an In Taraweeh Prayers”, All The While Studying Part-Time Without Having To Quit Your Job!

(You’ll be reading books by al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiya while
other beginners are still studying pronouns)

Why be interested?

• Have you been sporadically going to halaqas for years, but have little or nothing to show for it?
• Do you crave a serious course that doesn’t seem like a “guilty conscience assuager” but actually teaches you something?
• Do you want to go beyond the numerous lectures/conferences but don’t know where to go?
• Do you want an organized curriculum, with textbooks, punctual, regular sessions, a clear path and a beginning and an end-goal?
• Are you looking for a program that already teaches the advanced stages of the language to dozens of students so you can feel safe that when you get there, it will not stop prematurely?
• Have you been raised here and can’t access courses in foreign languages? Do you constantly dream of going overseas for Islamic education but don’t have the time/money/freedom-from-responsibility to do so?

If you answer, “Yes!” to any of these questions, then you should seriously consider this special, time-sensitive opportunity.

Here’s what it’s all about:

The Shariah Program is a totally unique and powerful online learning experience that literally rewires your ability to read and comprehend classical Arabic in the shortest amount of time possible so that you can finally understand and appreciate what the linguistic miracle of the Qur’an is all about.

It’s the ONLY online course of its kind aimed exclusively at serious students of the language that gives you measurable results each and every week with a 90-Day unconditional guarantee.

Many of our senior students tell us that the Shariah Program soon becomes the most important thing in their lives. They feel that what they gain through our lectures instantly adds depth and clarity to all of their other educational efforts in the Islamic sciences allowing them to reap 3x, 5x and even 10x greater benefit from all of their subsequent studies.

It’s also the only online program of its kind where the head course instructor has not only designed all of the curriculum and taught the prerecorded videos (over 50 hours worth in the first semester of Year 1 alone) but personally conducts all of the live sessions himself, even the mundane verb table recitation sessions on Wednesday evenings.

No more having to worry about who will be your teacher at the start of every semester.

No more having to adapt to the teaching style of junior teachers, or, worst, teaching assistants, who clearly are not at the level of the main instructor who designed the curriculum.

I know you’re sick and tired of too much memorization, too much disorganization, and just getting burnt out with courses that may get cancelled at a moment’s notice.

I know that you may have made multiple attempts at learning the language in the past and are about to give up on your search for the kind of course that will finally work for you.

If I’ve been successful in describing your situation, then your luck is about to change…

Through our online course, you will learn years of scholarly Arabic in a matter of weeks with an accomplished sheikh.

Your teacher is Mufti Yusuf Mullan, founder and head instructor of the Shariah Program. He’s an honour-roll scholar from U.K. and Pakistani Madrasas. He has specializations in Tafseer and Iftaa. He’s also a native English speaker, and with 16 years teaching experience, he is the perfect guide on your path to knowledge.

But it’s not just the teacher, it’s also the curriculum and the teaching methodology. Sheikh Yusuf understands the flaws in Madrasas and University Arabic courses and why they’re not for people like us.

Reading and Learning Classical Arabic vs Speaking in a Modern Arabic Dialect

First of all, when people like you and me say “I want to learn Arabic”, what we really mean is that we want to understand the Qur’an and the commentaries that expound on its beauty.

But universities concentrate on anything but that. They focus on conversational fluency and regional dialects… when what we want is reading, analyzing, translating, and understanding the miraculous aspects… the stuff that made the Sahaba cry.

Designed for Adult Students Who Deserve the Highest Standards

Second of all, Madrasa is just not an option for people like us. Not only would we have to leave our family (or possibly relocate them), quit our jobs, etc…

… But the thing with Madrasa is that your classmates will all be 16-year-olds and the Ustaad will cater to the lowest common denominator. Needless to say, your situation will become FAR worse before it becomes better.

And, finally, we have to get serious about attending Halaqas, seminars, “Do It Yourself Courses” and such. Those things are great to boost our Iman… but it’s not the place for long term, serious study.

The Shariah Program is a cut above. It’s designed exactly for people like us. The focus is on understanding the Qur’an. The environment and students are serious and sophisticated. The teachers, curriculum and resources you will have will finally get you to where you need to be. And that’s a promise and a guarantee.

The strategy behind what it does is simple…

Here’s How We Do Mind Blowing Amounts in Mere Days: The “Better than Harvard” Advantage

You see, a primary aspect of the Shariah Program curriculum is a principle called the 80/20 Rule Squared. This is at the heart of the curriculum.

Not all rules and lessons are created equal. In fact, the “80/20 Rule” states that you can expect 20% of your efforts to give you 80% of all the benefits you ultimately achieve.

The Arabic language is no different. It has a very clear core which consists of roughly 20% of all the rules in the 3 sciences of Grammar (nahw), Morphology (sarf) and Rhetoric (balagha).

The rules that belong to this 20% core have the broadest application by far. These are the fundamentals of Arabic that you would expect to encounter in practically every sentence.

But within this 20% core, there is an even DENSER inner-core which we call the “Core-4″. Without getting caught up in math, re-applying the “80/20 Rule” with the 20% core, we get an inner core of no more than 4% of all the total rules in the 3 sciences. This 4% inner core accounts for over half of all benefits!

As a registered student, you’ll have covered this inner-core in the first 3 weeks of classes!

And it is the ability to properly capitalize on this very concept that allows students in our program to grow at an exponential rate. A sister who studied Arabic at Harvard university and subsequently at our intensive puts it best:

… Because of that, in one day of class I learned more than I learned in an entire _year_ of Harvard…. What you need in a class is someone to explain to you how the language WORKS…. In only a few days of the Shariah Program, people were starting to read Arabic fluently … they had already learned what each part of the sentence was, like: this is a past tense verb/this is a noun/ this is a command to a man/ this is an adjective referring to the feminine noun). That does _not_ happen in university Arabic until well after the first full year….

Yes, properly capitalizing on the “80/20 rule squared” allows our students to learn mind blowing amounts of proper and well-structured Arabic in mere days. This is what makes the Shariah Program unique and its curriculum one of the most sought-after in the Western world.

Just to give you an idea, here’s a short glimpse of the timeline for your education

• After Week 3: You’ll be reading from Qasas al-Nabiyin (the Stories of the Prophets) an Arabic book for children.
• By the end Semester 1: You’ll have already mastered 30% of the language.
• Also by the end Semester 1: You’ll be reading Arabic texts without any harakat – that’s right, no fatha, kasra, or dhamma training wheels needed for this ride.
• By the end Semester 2: You’ll have covered the best book in the world for grammar and have already begun the study of Qur’anic balagha (eloquence).
• Early in Year 2: You’ll have half of your classes taught to you in Arabic. You’ll be asking your own questions in clear, easy to understand Arabic.
• By the End of Year 2: You’ll have not only torn through multiple books in Arabic grammar AND tafsir, you’ll have covered logic, advanced balagha, books on adab, and much more.

The course has been running for 9 years and students who previously struggled with Arabic for years at universities, Madrasas and “Do it yourself courses” have finally found what they were looking for. Here’s what some of them have to say.

This is my third series of Arabic classes. I’ve previously attended an Islamic school for three years, and I also took a year of Arabic classes in college, and I can honestly say that I’ve learned far more here in three months than I did in my four prior years in Arabic instruction. Not only that, but what I have learned I am also able to understand and recall far better than anything I learned from my other attempts at learning the language.

This is truly a remarkable system, Mashallah. I was somewhat skeptical that the course would be as good as I had heard, but it definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything that is taught is taught in an amazingly efficient manner, with each issue being brought up multiple times, with each instance increasing the depth of the discussion at a controlled rate, so that by the time a subject is taught in exhaustive detail, the subject will already have been brought up multiple times. It really just flows.

You Get A Superior Curriculum Tailored to Your Specific Needs.

So you’ll get superior education from a course you take on your computer mainly on the weekends. Great! But how can it help you, especially if you’ve been struggling to learn the language?

First of all, understand that there are different types of learners. Some people learn by watching. Others learn by listening and concentrating. Others learn by reading and flipping pages. And so on.

A large number of students fail to see any results from courses because the course doesn’t cater to their style of learning. They might not even realize their own style of learning and get all mixed up in a course that’s just not for them… and was never going to help them from the beginning.

Shariah Program won’t do that to you. The entire course is structured to cater to your learning style. Visual learners will appreciate the sentence diagrams the sheikh will draw almost every lecture, others will appreciate the practice and drills and quizzing… and like that there’s something for everyone in this rich environment.

Here’s How We Make Absolute Sure You’re Getting What’s Right for You:

• Pre-recorded Video Lectures: You’ll watch pre-recorded video lectures before class. This is great because it means you can learn at your pace and get a handle on topics before class with other students even starts. The lectures contain point-form notes on the screen and diagrams, charts, tables. This is fantastic if you learn by watching and listening.
• Audio Files: There’s also the benefit of related audio files. You can listen to these as you work at home or in your car to save time and still keep up with the material. This is if you learn by listening and don’t want the distraction of references to charts and stuff.
• Slides & Transcriptions: You get professionally transcribed lectures in PDF and slides in PPT. This is if you learn by reading and following charts and diagrams on your own and you like flipping through pages.
• Classes are Recorded & Archived: All live classes are recorded and available for you to download and listen whenever you want. So if you don’t like taking notes, you won’t have to worry about missing any details.
• Helpful Resources: You have an enormous amount of documentation like vocabulary lists, verb charts, sentence structure diagrams, exercise sheets, review sheets, and just so much material you won’t even know what to do with. All this is prepared by previous students and is available to you on the school message board as supplementary aids.
• Alternative Class Timings: Even classes have two timings: one for North American time zones and one for Europeans. This gives you a backup in case you miss your class.

Now second of all, so many students either fail to see results from the courses they’re taking, or they just get burnt out and fall off the wagon.

The reasons for this are numerous, but mainly they all have to do with the teaching methods of those courses. You can’t expect Halaqas or short-term courses to focus too much on didactics… they just don’t have that luxury.

At Shariah Program, though, the way we teach is as important as what we teach, we take didactics and pedagogy very seriously to make sure you learn properly and that you keep going. Here’s how the teaching method is different from what you’ve experienced in the past and how it makes sure you see results and you never lose steam.

• Complex Topics are Introduced Early & Elaborated on Gradually: You will be exposed to advanced topics early on in a very easy way. Then you will revisit these topics over and over, with more detail each time along with sufficient practice. This gradual progression is very powerful and allows you to devour huge amounts of advanced material very quickly without even realizing what you’re doing. You see the results in front of your very eyes.
• Lessons are Intensive but Kept Manageable: You will learn a lot every week, but everything is kept manageable. You see, many courses give you all the details of a topic up front. Or they introduce irrelevant details. Or they skimp on details that would empower your understanding and analytical skills. In this course, we revisit topics often so you internalize all concepts thoroughly and naturally. We develop proper analytical skills so you retain what you learn and gain insights. And we don’t get burnt out.
• You’ll Put Everything to Practice in Real-Time: So many courses, especially Madrasas, are guilty of the following. They’ll cover an entire book on Arabic grammar without any practice. This just burns you out and you don’t see any results. In this course, as soon as you learn something, you put it to practice immediately. Your main mode of practice will be the Stories of the Prophets book, which you can use to make sure you’re learning boat-loads every week. This helps your grammar rules come to life every week and you’ll see results in real-time.
• 50% Arabic Medium: Later in the course, 50% of your classes will be in Arabic.
• You’ll Have Goals & a Roadmap: Everything you learn is logically calculated… What are the goals? What should be taught in order to achieve them? In how much detail? When should concepts be introduced? It’s all well thought out and available to you. In fact, the instructor refers to this roadmap often. You’ll be able to see where you are, where your goals are taking you and you can verify your progress against this roadmap every week.
• Memorization is Very Minimal: In this course, the way it works is that you have to do very little memorization. That’s because you will focus on understanding the meat of a topic. You’ll develop analytical skills and understand the big picture. Once you have that, memorization becomes irrelevant… you see things differently.

Here’s why it’s important for your life right now…

Unlike many courses, what’s different about Shariah Program is that we understand life is busy and unpredictable. In fact, that’s kind of who this course was built for in the first place… busy people.

So what it doesn’t require is complete freedom of your time. In fact, here are some of the ways in which we help you if you suddenly get busy at work, have a baby, or whatever else may come your way (we really want you to reach your goal)… here’s the list

• All Course Material Available When You Need It: All lecture videos, audio files, transcripts, slides, sentence diagrams, verb charts, vocabulary lists, etc are available for you to download and keep. So if you’re going to be away… first let the instructor know… then you can either work ahead at your own speed, or play catch up when you get back and rejoin the class. It’s that easy.
• Ability to Temporarily Move to Self-Paced Mode: If you’re going to be absent for an extended period of time, the 2-year course has a self-paced version which you can switch to. Granted, you won’t have live practice or all the other benefits of the main class, but it’s a way for you to keep yourself connected and not lose touch while you’re gone.
• Ability to Retake Previous Semesters: If you ever feel you need to take a step back to strengthen your knowledge, you will be able to join semesters prior to yours and drop down a level like that… at half the normal costs. Then work your way back up stronger and more educated than ever before.

But the most powerful weapon you will have against falling behind or losing focus is the inspiring, motivational, engaging, and empowering lectures that are based upon the 80/20 Rule SQUARED I spoke to you about earlier. To the best of my knowledge, no other program structures its curriculum in this manner.

From all that you’ve read above, there should be no question about how well the Shariah Program teaches Arabic online, and what it will do for your comprehension and ability to appreciate the Qur’an once the program is completed.

After all, it’s worked for hundreds of other students. Here are some comments left behind by former students:

Contrast that with the traditional, time-tested way that developed of teaching arabic to non-arabs as islam spread to non-arab countries. This is what the Shariah Program in toronto uses and I TOTALLY WHOLE-HEARTEDLY (not shouting, just gushing) recommend it to anyone who wants to learn to read arabic in general (for any purpose … Because of that, in one day of class I learned more than I learned in an entire _year_ of harvard al kitaab-style arabic.

Asma, 2006 Intensive Student

The whole course is logically mapped out. It’s so refreshing to be able to know what your start and end point is. You can literally see all the recordings and handouts coming your way; you interact with students in the year above you, and the instructor constantly refers to this road map. Thus, you feel safe on this long journey – you have a guide who clearly knows the way, and many supportive, knowledgeable fellow travellers accompanying. Other courses don’t come close just on this point alone.

Tushar, 2010 Online Student

I don’t know of anything comparable being offered elsewhere in Canada or the US in English. WHAT YOU COVER IN THIS COURSE IS WHAT PEOPLE GO OVERSEAS TO SYRIA, PAKISTAN AND ELSEWHERE FOR. I spent 9 months in Damascus studying Arabic and this course is better organized and more thorough, and you can take it without quitting your job. If this had been offered then I wouldn’t have needed to go (for the Arabic-there are benefits to being in a Muslim country). And once you finish you’ll have a solid foundation to go abroad and study further.

How much will it cost?

First of all, please appreciate that students in our classes routinely report receiving a better understanding of the language in just the first 3 weeks of class with us than an entire year or more of study at Western universities. Here’s one of many unsolicited remarks that flood my inbox daily:

alhamdulillah I feel like I’m getting much more than my money’s worth and really your program is the answer to my dua’s of wanting to learn arabic seriously. I used to read the website and the testimonials and think that it was all just hype to get people to sign up, but now I can’t stop gushing about it to other people I know having similar problems as I had with finding the right course. Within the 7-8 weeks of recordings you have summed up what I have learned with 3-4 years of part time studies and more, and I’ve understood the concepts much more clearly than before. So I just wanted to say jazakallah for offering the course as I’m really excited to see what else I learn as I go on inshallah.

Fariha Siddiquie, May 2011 student in first semester

In the first semester of Year 1 ALONE you will cover 7 primary courses (plus others):

And you’ll get all the resources (videos, MP3s, slides, transcripts, forum access, live tutorials, lectures, etc) I mentioned before. You get over 50 hours of Mufti Yusuf’s best training that he’s spent the last 9 years perfecting.

More importantly, though, we encourage you to check out other programs before deciding on ours. Other institutes also have fine services and sometimes it is hard to decide until you take their systems for a trial run, just as you did this with our system. After all, you are the best judge of quality.

What does that mean? It means that if you’re not reading Arabic books by week 3-4, reading books without vowels by the end of semester 1, or you’re not learning ridiculous amounts of Arabic with eye-popping results in what you thought were impossibly short time periods…

… then it won’t cost you a penny. That’s because, if the program is not just right for you, you’ll notice that and you won’t stay enrolled for more than 90 days. And you will take advantage of the 90-day unconditional, no hassle, no questions, no delays 100% tuition + books + everything refund guarantee (see below).

On the other hand, if you find yourself rapidly progressing to your goals faster than you ever imagined possible, and you begin making use of our screen cast videos, transcriptions, diagrams and 24/7 forum support, then all of this (7 primary courses taught to you in the first 6 months alone) will cost you a Single Affordable Payment of $797 (will gradually increase to $997 as early-registration incentives expire), giving you access to 6 months worth of material and 2 live sessions weekly with the instructor. Prepay for the entire year and save and additional $300 (just $1,297 for all of Year 1). Please see the section below that details the exact bonuses you’ll be getting for early registration.

Tuition Breakdown

• Year One Live: Our Year One batch will have access to all materials described above for $797 per each 6-month period. This amount will gradually increase to $997 as the early-registration incentives expire.
• Year One Self-Study: We realize some of you want to study at your own pace and cannot commit to the live portions of our program. For students like yourself, you’ll have access to all materials minus live practice with the instructor for $497 for the entire year.
  Click Here to Expand/Hide Additional Details About the Self-Paced Version of the Program

  The 2 main benefits in being able to attend the sessions live are increased access to the instructor and accountability: Being bound by specific timings twice weekly is often needed for many people in order to stay on top of the study. The truly serious and smart student attaches great value to this exclusivity, privilege and attention. On the other hand, there are others who may be just as serious and committed but for one reason or another would rather study at their own pace and NOT be bound by timings. Also, some may find our regular tuition costs difficult to bare. So in order to not lock out anyone from the opportunity to study with us, we’ve introduced this more affordable option.

  You see, the instructor can only accommodate a certain number of students in the live classes (the seats fill up extremely quickly), whereas at least 3 times that many self-paced students can be accommodated through our student message boards. For this reason the costs associated to the regular version of the program (not incuding early registration discounts and incentives) are 4 times higher than those of the self-study version: $1997 vs. $497.

  As a self-paced student you’ll get:

  • Access to the Instructor via the Student Message Boards: Mufti Yusuf does not take incoming phone calls and does not reply to content related emails
  • Recordings of all of the Live Sessions: (2 hours per week). These recordings are unedited. You will not be able to attend any of the live classes but will most definitely get recordings of them for 12 full months. (This means there are no hidden upsells. We will provide you with everything you need for the low price of $497)
  • Opportunity to Form Study Groups with other dedicated students at our active message boards. These study sessions will allow you to practice the material and remove confusion regarding concepts covered in the main videos
  • 24/7 Access to Ask Whatever You Need to at the message boards as mentioned earlier on this page
  • Ability to Convert Your Registration at anytime to that of a regular student by adjusting the number of months left on your self-paced account and/or paying the difference in tuition costs
  • Our 90 Day Unconditional Guarantee as discussed further down on this page. This is remarkably generous and removes all possible risk so you can signup with complete confidence that your hard earned money will not be wasted

  If the above makes sense to you, then you might want to skip reading the rest of this page which mostly focuses on the live classes which will begin from March, 2012. Click the link below to sign-up now for the self-paced version of the program.

• Year Two Live: The Year Two batch will have 5 – 6 hours of live sessions at $166 / month. At this stage, there is no self-study program

	Year 2$166/month	Year 1$166/month	Entry$41.5/month

*this chart lists the normal costs associated to each level of registration (not including early-registration incentives and bonuses). “Entry” refers to the most basic self-paced version of the program (everything EXCEPT live access to the instructor). As you can see, the self-paced option is 4 times less expensive than regular year 1 costs. If you’re interested in attending live classes from March 2012, please read on.

Early-Bird Bonuses: Save close to $1,500.00 in tuition costs and books

WAIT & BE LOCKED OUT. Based on what we’ve seen in the past, the overwhelming majority of the no more than 250 seats sell out in the first month of opening registration. A lot of this has to do with the significant savings early registrants receive. The bonus package I’ve put together below is by far the most valuable ever offered for early-registration.

EARLY REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS & INCENTIVES EXPIRE @ MIDNIGHT ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15TH.
HIGHER FEES will be in place for ALL registrations after this date – no exceptions. Also the convenient 3-monthly installment EZ-Pay is available only until November 15th.

• Bonus 1: You’ll receive an instant registration discount of $200. You pay $797 for the first semester (March 2012-October 2012) instead of the regular tuition of $997.
• Bonus 2: Your second bonus is 5 months access to all of our content ($207.08 value) at no extra charge as you wait for the classes to formally begin. This is by far the biggest bonus you’re getting in terms of what it will do for you as our program does move quickly. The more you can cover BEFORE March 2012, the stronger position you will be in when the live classes actually begin. You can begin learning immediately through our videos and other content (described above) from now until the start-date of March 25. This is the material self-paced students pay $497/year for.
• Bonus 3: “Beginners Book Package” consisting of the 7 texts we teach in the first year of the program. This package generally retails separately for $83. It will be sent to you at no additional cost simply as our way of saying THANK YOU for taking the first step. We will also cover the costs of shipping the package to you anywhere in the world.

Total savings amount to $490.08 USD

When you click the “Add to Cart” button, you’ll notice that in addition to the 6-Month option, there’s an annual membership option with even greater savings.

If you select this annual option, then, in addition to the 3 bonuses mentioned above, you’ll get the following:

• Bonus 4: Opportunity to save an additional $500.00 by prepaying for semester 2 of year 1 at an even more generous $497 instead of $997
• Bonus 5: Life-time access to Sidi Mohtanick Jamil’s Premium Alphabet Course which is a beginner’s course on reading, writing and pronouncing Arabic, with some introduction to advanced topics. The main Shariah Program 2 Year Online Course does not cover tajweed and the basics of proper pronunciation. The Premium Alphabet Course retails for $297 and you can verify this by clicking this link. It’s being provided to you as an early-registration bonus absolutely free when you click the button below and claim your seat for the March 2012 classes.
• Bonus 6: The 8-Lesson Bonus Module which comes with the Premium Alphabet Course valued at $197. When you watch this bonus module along side the main Shariah Program videos, it will add clarity to what you learn in our first 3 weeks (the 4% of the language that gives you more than half of all benefits I spoke about above)

The savings on these last 3 bonuses amount to $994. Added to the earlier 3 bonuses, the total savings are $1484.08.

It goes without saying that the annual membership is the best deal, BY FAR!

So why am I offering such an insane discount just for taking the annual membership?

It’s simple: The folks that select the annual membership are acknowledging that this is a process, and not a one-time-quick-fix.

That’s a sign of maturity (as is your considering registration 5 months before the start-date), and I really respect that so I’m dropping the costs further as a sign of respect and appreciation.

But with all of that said, I know that the annual membership is not right for everyone so please don’t feel ashamed for selecting the 6-Month option. It’s still a tremendous value and you’re still smart for getting in…

So whether you pay the full price tomorrow (or some later date) or join at the discounted rate TODAY, your membership comes with a 90-day, no-questions-asked guarantee.

Unconditional 90 Day Guarantee

You have THREE full months to try out the Shariah Program, examine the materials, use what you wish, and attend the live classes, if for any reason or even no reason, you want to withdraw from the program, simply send one email, and you will receive a full refund immediately. NO questions asked. You will not need to present any reasons for withdrawal, send anything back, fill any forms, or otherwise jump through any hoops. No hassle. No “fine print”. Simple and straightforward; you find yourself attaining your goals faster than you imagined possible or you get a full refund. And, incidentally, we’re devoted to the goal of only having satisfied students. If you’re not going to make use of the resources and the quality instruction we provide, we really would prefer that your payment be returned to you.

If you’re wondering, the refund request rate over the last 8 years, as of this writing, is well below 2%. So with this remarkably generous guarantee, you may sign up with complete confidence. All risk has been effectively removed.

Believe it or not, we also have testimonials from students who were unable to continue and requested a refund. Here is just one:

Asslamu Alaykum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakhathu,

It will be a joy to take classes in the future when I am more able (InshAllah)
but for now I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your most professional service.
A lot of companies say they have a “no-hassle” refund policy but when you try to get your
refund it is actually a very BIG hassle. That usually takes a lot of time and questions.
However, you quickly and courteously refunded my money without even one small bit of hassle.
Integrity and honesty is getting harder to find nowadays but clearly it is alive and well at the Shariah Program.

Thank you for such a superior guarantee and your great service.

Jazak Allah Khair

• I barely know the Arabic alphabet. Should I sign up for this 2-Year Online Course, or do recommend something else first?
  Our 2-Year program is much more appreciated by those that have made multiple attempts at learning the language. Furthermore, we do not spend any time talking about the very basics, nor do we teach Tajweed in the 2-Year program. If you have taken no formal Arabic courses in the past, do not know the Arabic alphabet well, or just barely know the alphabet, we do not recommend you consider this course. Instead please head over to the Premium Alphabet Course page to learn more about our new offering which will give you everything you need to realize your dream of mastering the Arabic language. It’s a new course that comes highly recommended.
• What are the timings for the live tutorials beginning in October?
  Prerecorded lectures can be accessed immediately upon registration.Live weekly tutorials will be scheduled as follows:
  

  Start Date: Saturday, October 1, 2011

  There will be two, 1-hour tutorial sessions each week. Timings are in Eastern Standard Time.
  • Saturday morning: 8:15–9:15 am (EST) &
  • Wednesday evening: 9:00–10:00 pm (EST) –or- Wednesday evening: 5:00–5:40 pm* (EST)
  (*earlier session for International students)

• Will there be any breaks for the live sessions throughout the year?
  We follow a 4-week on, 1-week off schedule in all of the live classes. Additionally, there is a 2 week break during Hajj and 5 weeks off during the month of Ramadan. From the 52 weeks in a year, students can expect classes to be held on approximately 36 of them. One of the major benefits in having these breaks is to allow you to catchup on material, consolidate important points, and prepare properly. The course does move fast.
• Will the course materials be shipped to me, or will I have to acquire them on my own?
  Upon registration, you will have the option of ordering Mail-out packages directly from us. Alternatively, you may purchase the books from local bookstores or online from other vendors. As a final option, high quality scans of all pertinent books will be provided. The books you will receive in your Mail-out package from Shariah Program are listed below:

  1. Fundamentals of Classical Arabic, by Shaikh Husain Sattar
  2. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 1
  3. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 2
  4. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 3
  5. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 4
  6. Original Arabic text of Imam al-Zarnuji’s Instruction of the Student (Talim al-Muta’allim)
  7. Original text of Hidayatun Nahw to be introduced in 7th month (Will not be placed in international packages due to weight considerations).

  The one-time cost for the Mail-out package (good for the entire first year) is US $60 USD + shipping and handling (approx. $23 for North America, $35 International).

• How are the live tutorials conducted over the Internet?
  The Online Arabic class employs PalTalk’s Premium Secure Classroom to facilitate a fast and reliable internet communications solution for our students. It is a free and easy to use program that allows people from different locations to become a part of our vibrant community. With PalTalk, students enrolled in the North American, European, Australian and the Asian Subcontinent classes can learn traditional Arabic sciences first-hand from a qualified shaykh in the comfort of their homes. We have purchased a group license that supports a capacity of 100 students.

  Group Study Sessions

  Our virtual class is no different from an actual class as it allows students to receive the material and communicate their questions in real-time. We strongly believe in providing our students a real classroom environment by fully utilizing the virtual capabilities available to us. Our students can make use of our secure classroom to conduct their own group study sessions where they can collaborate to practice and discuss the course material among themselves.

• What are the system requirements?
  Minimum Requirements:
  Windows XP or Higher
  1GB of RAM
  12MB of Free Space
  Intel Pentium Processor or Higher
  
• Will PalTalk work properly with a Mac?
  
  PalTalk has a browser based version which doesn’t involve any software. This can be used by Mac users and works just as well.
  
• Is Paltalk completely free to use?
  The basic PalTalk service (all that is required for our purposes) is free for users residing in North America and most Western countries, as they sell advertising directed at users, allowing them to keep the service free. In turn, since we have paid a fee to secure the password protected room, this advertising then disappears. Hence, there is no need for the majority of our students to upgrade their accounts.

  However, since they are unable to sell advertising directed at users based in Middle Eastern and most Asian countries, they require such users to pay for the service themselves by upgrading their accounts to a “blue nick” which is the next level up. Otherwise, they will not be able to access any of the rooms. The cost for this, however, is minimal: it does not exceed $40 for an entire year. If you run into any trouble upgrading your account with PalTalk, please contact us.
  

Payment Related

• Do you offer any family discount?
  Yes. You can invite a second family member into the course whereby both of you will receive a further $350 off your second semester tuition costs for the premium version of the program. This is in addition to the numerous incentives listed above. (Total additional savings $700!). Essentially each member will pay $947 instead of the normal $797 + $500. This covers the entire 1st year of the program, live classes included. It also entitles each of you the free books and access to the Premium Alphabet Course at no extra charge.
  
• Will the costs associated to the program always remain this low?
  No. As the program continues to improve in content delivery and features, we will be raising the costs. We reserve the right to do this at any time without notice. Current students will be given advance notice and an opportunity to prepay at current rates.
  
• Can I pay in installments?
  The payment terms are as follows: per semester for the regular course (6 months prepayment required), and per year in the case of the self-paced option. Having said that, we do occasionally allow an installment plan (3 payments of $176 for self-paced and 3 payments of $277 for the regular course) in situations where an interested student finds it difficult to pay the entire amount upfront.

  We want you to become an overwhelming success in your Arabic studies and frankly the more skin you have in the game the more benefit you will tend to receive from the collective resources and expert instruction we have to offer you. This is why we strongly encourage prepayment until the end of the 1st year. This is also the precise reason why we do not allow “pay-as-you-go” students into our program.

• I do not have a Paypal account. How do I submit payment?
  For users residing in most western countries, payment can be submitted using your credit card without the need for a Paypal account. The option to do this is on the final screen. Continue proceeding even if you do not have a Paypal account.
• I live in a country for which Paypal does not act as a credit card processor. Do you have any alternate method?
  Yes. Please contact us, and we will provide you with a payment link which does not involve Paypal.
  
• Can I pay by cheque or money order?
  Yes. That is also possible. Please contact us for further details.
  
• Once I've submitted payment, how long will it take before I receive access to the material?
  Access will be granted immediately. You will receive both an email with instructions on how to access the live classes and a private message at the forums with links to download the material.
• Will I be automatically re-billed at the end of the first semester?
  No. You will simply receive a notice to resubmit payment through our forum software. At that point, you should renew the subscription. Otherwise, it will expire and you will loose access to the password protected areas of our message board.
