About this course
This online course offers a foundational introduction to Shia Seminary (Hawza) studies, designed for students and seekers eager to explore traditional Islamic scholarship. Structured as a preliminary term, the course provides an overview of the essential disciplines taught in Hawza, setting the stage for deeper future study.
Students will be introduced to Sarf (Arabic morphology) and Nahw (Arabic syntax), which form the linguistic backbone for understanding classical Islamic texts. The course will also explore Balagha (Arabic eloquence) to appreciate the stylistic beauty and precision of religious language, and Mantiq (logic), a critical tool for structured reasoning and scholarly discourse.
In the realm of theology, students will examine Aqaed (Islamic beliefs), covering core Shia doctrines. Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and Usul al-Fiqh (the principles and methodology of jurisprudence) will be introduced to lay the groundwork for legal understanding. The science of Hadith (Prophetic traditions) will be explored along with its complementary sciences: Rijal (narrator evaluation) and Diraya (hadith classification and analysis).
Ethical and spiritual refinement will also be addressed through the study of Akhlaq (Islamic ethics), highlighting personal development in the path of knowledge.
Whether you're preparing for advanced Hawza studies or simply seeking a well-rounded introduction to classical Shia scholarship, this course provides a guided, accessible entry point into a rich tradition of learning. No prior knowledge of Arabic or Islamic sciences is required.
