<p>In order to participate, you need to be logged in with an actual Paltalk account. Unfortunately, international students residing in Middle Eastern and certain Asian countries are required to have an upgraded paltalk account in order to access the services.

<p>For the purpose of the four 90 minute Q&#038;A calls, I would suggest just listening to the lectures and then accessing the recordings when they are made available in the video portal. </p>

<h4>This Offer EXPIRES at MIDINIGHT Eastern on Monday, January 2</h4>
<p></center></p>
<h3><strong>Convert to Premium (at a Discount) and get all of the Elements of My Current Offer at No Extra Charge</strong></h3>
</div>
<div id="container_gettingstart_template">
<p>Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,</p>
<p>If you haven&#8217;t already seen my video I made live on Wednesday afternoon at 2.00 PM eastern, you can check it out here:</p>
<p><a href="http://members.shariahprogram.ca/sp/8133-were-live" target="_blank">CLICK HERE to watch the 13 minute presentation in a separate window</a></p>
<p>The offer was crafted primarily for non-students but there are at least 3 elements in it that will be of interest to you. They are:</p>
<p><strong>1. Life-time access to my 50 hours of core training:</strong> As things stand currently, if you choose to not renew your self-paced subscription, you will loose access to the material after 6 months or 1 year or whenever your expiry is. (This is how it&#8217;s always been). In the case of expiry, your forum account would be placed in the &#8220;Expired Users&#8221; usergroup and we&#8217;d run reactivation campaigns in order to try and get you back. That is, you would cease to be a student. What life-time access means is that your access to the material would be forever.. It would never be taken away from you.</p>
<p><strong>2. Free Upgrade to Next Iteration of Core Content:</strong> From time to time, I reproduce the material and in the past, every time I&#8217;ve done this, it&#8217;s enhanced the benefit by 200%. </p>
<p><strong>3. The Premium Alphabet Course</strong> which is around 11 hours of training created by Sidi Mohtanick Jamil. This course has been selling on our website every day for $297. It is my honest assessment that Sidi Mohtanick is the best teacher alive for these topics. He spent 6 grueling months putting the course together. I had sister DesertSand and some other second year students go through it. They all say, they received great value. It&#8217;s a very comprehensive course and not just for extreme beginners. And I&#8217;ve purchased the rights of the entire course from him by giving him a considerable 5 figure amount. </p>
<p>All three of the above are bundled into the current promotion (explained in the video) and the price point is $797 or 3 installments of $297</p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s How Self-Paced Students Can Get All of the Above at Zero Cost</h4>
<p>Regardless of your forum account expiry, at some point you will need to resubmit tuition in order to convert to premium or progress to the advanced levels of year 2. As you know, the Hidayah an-Nahw book is always covered live and I don&#8217;t provide videos for that book, as the benefit to students is in the preparation and reading in front of the instructor. That&#8217;s how true proficiency is built. Granted, that you can study with the recordings of the Hidayah an-Nahw book as a self-paced student, but ultimately, you&#8217;d want to cover the book live. Some of our second year students actually do the book multiple times. I&#8217;ve taught it 19 times and even I learn something new each time.</p>
<p><strong>What I am doing is extending the 3 elements mentioned above to you and allowing you to convert to premium and prepay for the live classes as part of a single deal.</strong> </p>
<p>If you move forward with the life-time deal by submitting the $797, I will look into how many months you have left on your self-paced account at the forum, for every 2 months self-paced, you&#8217;ll get a credit of one month premium PLUS I&#8217;ll give you 6 months beyond that. </p>
<p>So for instance, if you&#8217;ve been with us for 6 months and have 6 months remaining on your account, the total credit to you would be 9 months.</p>
<p>9 months premium is a value of exactly $1,195.50, based on $797 per every 6 months.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you may pause and restart your live sessions at any time and use these credits as you deem fit. </p>
<p>So if the above made sense to you, please click the link below to proceed directly to the pre-order page (skip the video):</p>
<p><a href="http://members.shariahprogram.ca/pre_cart_pages/8030">Click HERE to go directly to the Pre-order page and select your payment option</a></p>
<p>The page does not list what I just explained as the page is primarily for new students.. but once done, <strong>simply reply to the email that brought you to this page</strong>, and I&#8217;ll extend your account manually.</p>
<p>If you plan on using these credits at some future time, just save the email that brought you to this page and let me know when you&#8217;d like to go live. <strong>These credits will never expire.</strong></p>
<p>wassalam,</p>
<p>Yusuf</p>
<p>P.S. One main reason why I&#8217;m focusing a lot of energy on this launch is I want to place a &#8220;We are full&#8221; sign on our main website and not have to worry about replying to pre-registration emails all the time. Event based promotions such as this current one will allow me to focus on teaching during the majority of the year, insha Allah: 2 weeks of effort, followed by several months of rest and focus on teaching is what I&#8217;m aiming for.</p>
<p>P.P.S. If you&#8217;ve already availed this offer, you too would be entitled to what I described above. Please send an email when you&#8217;re ready to go live and we&#8217;ll make the account adjustments then.</p>

<p>P.S. Many have already proceeded with this. If you&#8217;ve already responded to the offer, please reply back to the email so I can extend your account. There are dozens of orders coming in and I&#8217;ll need a separate email reply from every existing student who moves forward with this in order to manage the upgrades. Next, please allow 3-4 days for me to take care of this. Most probably I&#8217;ll begin the account adjustments after January 2 when the promotion expires.</p>

<h4 style="text-align: center;">(You’ll be reading books by al-Ghazali and Ibn Taymiya while<br />

</div>
<div id="container_gettingstart_template">
<p>From the desk of <strong>Yusuf Mullan</strong><br />
Thursday, 11:17 A.M. </p>
<p>Dear Seeker of Knowledge,</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re reading this page, it means you&#8217;re already one of my subscribers and have a decent idea of the approach I take in teaching classical Arabic. Elsewhere on the site you can read very detailed course descriptions and curriculum breakdowns so here I just want to tell you quickly what I have for, what it will do for you and how you can take advantage.</p>
<p><strong>FIRST, Let&#8217;s Begin With The Problem You&#8217;re Facing.</strong> Here&#8217;s the problem: if you&#8217;re reading this page, chances are you&#8217;ve spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right course to help you get to where you need to be. Like a good number of my existing students, you might have taken some university/college level Arabic courses or you&#8217;ve purchased numerous text-books and home-study products most of which are collecting dust on the bookshelf. </p>
<p>What you&#8217;re finding is that the teachers cannot teach in your preferred style, or that there&#8217;s too much memorization and too much disorganization. You find yourself getting burnt out very quickly, or the course is just too slow moving and spends too much time on irrelevant details. If it&#8217;s a home-study product, then there&#8217;s no proper presentation of the grammar and essential theory&#8230; </p>
<p><center><br />
<h3><strong><font color="red">You End Up Frustrated And Down A Few Thousand Dollars. You Waste A Few Months Of Your Time.</font></strong></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>Why does this keep happening? The reason is because no one is teaching how the language actually works. If you think about why you get overwhelmed easily by too much memorization and too much disorganization or why you feel that the topics are not being presented properly or that the details are irrelevant, you&#8217;ll quickly notice that these are all symptoms of an underlying problem which is the lack of a central theme and the absence of the big picture up front. </p>
<p>You see, if there&#8217;s no big picture given up front, all details will most definitely seem random because you have nothing to connect those details to! You cannot learn in this way if you can&#8217;t tell the forest from the trees. </p>
<p>All the courses you&#8217;ve attended or books you&#8217;ve attempted to self-study from begin with the simple and gradually progress to the more advanced. You&#8217;re probably thinking that this is how it should be. I&#8217;m here to tell you that that is NOT how Arabic is mastered. It&#8217;s definitely not how the scholars have learned through the ages.  Arabic is different. The majority of meanings do not even come from the words. They come from the vowels, patterns and grammatical structures that are all part of a system Ibn Khaldun calls the most superior system for conveying meaning on the planet at the heart of which is grammar. </p>
<p>What this means is whole meanings which in other languages would require separate words to convey, in Arabic, are expressed through single vowels and in some cases particular configurations of vowels. These are &#8220;non-word meanings&#8221; and they make up the overwhelming majority of all meanings. </p>
<p>Until you&#8217;re made familiar with this system, you gain no clarity, you attain no traction and you find no momentum. This is why you quickly loose interest and move on to the next set of books.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s my alternative: the alternative is to <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">lead with complex and elaborate discussions up front thus providing that big picture as soon as possible.</font> <strong>This is a front-loaded method.</strong> It is counter-intuitive. It involves significant risk. Many beginners may get discouraged because it requires considerable effort in the opening few days. However, <strong>the amount of effort decreases with every passing week and the pay-off increases exponentially.</strong> This is how you will get traction in your studies and build momentum. There is simply no other way. </p>
<h4>Meet Your Personal Teacher</h4>
<p>Your teacher is <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/teachers/yusuf-mullan/" target="_blank">Mufti Yusuf Mullan</a> (That&#8217;s me). I&#8217;m the founder and head instructor of the Shariah Program. </p>
<p>SIDENOTE: I feel uncomfortable reaching all around to pat myself on the back so here&#8217;s what one student had to say about me as part of his review he posted at our message board a couple of years ago: </p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;<strong>The instructor himself.</strong> Scholars and students attest to his genius. I’ve never met an alim so <strong>passionate</strong> and so <strong>comprehensive in his knowledge</strong> of the language: he’s like an encyclcopaedia! Not only that, but he’s actually a good teacher. Most teachers, especially teachers of Islamic subjects, tend to ‘present’ the subject and ‘kindly’ leave it to the student to learn. This results in only the highly motivated learning. 70-80% of the class don’t learn. In contrast, Mufti Yusuf will question you, test you and will demand participation. This may put off or even intimidate some, but I love it! Why? Because it forces me to learn – I’ve no choice; it’s motivating and it shows that the <strong>teacher truly wants me to learn</strong>&#8220;.</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<p><strong>This student (who also happens to be a qualified teacher) goes on to say:</strong></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;In many large institutions the senior shaykh often designs the syllabus and may give a few live sessions but the majority of the teaching is by junior teachers who aren’t as advanced or as thorough. When you graduate from a level, you get a new teacher – whose style or personality may not be as good as the previous one. The Shariah Program is unique in that we have the priviliege of having Mufti Yusuf – the designer and <strong>senior expert</strong> – not only teaching every lesson, but taking the time to even lead the mundane memorisation sessions. He has dedicated himself fully to the course so as a student you <strong>feel very privileged</strong>&#8220;.</p>
</div>

<h4><a name="10">Here&#8217;s How We Do Mind Blowing Amounts in Mere Days: The &#8220;Better than Harvard&#8221; Advantage</a></h4>
<p>You see, a primary aspect of the teaching methodology I use is a principle called the <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>80/20 Rule Squared</strong></font>. This is at the heart of the curriculum.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Not all rules and lessons are created equal</span>. In fact, the &#8220;80/20 Rule&#8221; states that you can expect 20% of your efforts to give you 80% of all the benefits you ultimately achieve.</p>
<p>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 (<em>nahw</em>), Morphology (<em>sarf</em>) and Rhetoric (<em>balagha</em>).</p>
<p>The rules that belong to this 20% core have the <strong>broadest application </strong>by far. These are the <strong>fundamentals</strong> of Arabic that you would expect to encounter in practically every sentence.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;80/20 Rule&#8221; with the 20% core, we get an inner core of no more than 4% of all the total rules in the 3 sciences. <strong>This 4% inner core accounts for over half of all benefits!</strong></p>
<p><center><br />
<h3><strong>You&#8217;ll Have Covered This Inner-Core In The First 3 Weeks Of Classes!</strong></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>And it is the ability to <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>properly capitalize on this very concept that allows students in our program to grow at an exponential rate</strong></font>. A sister who studied Arabic at Harvard university and subsequently at our intensive puts it best:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;&#8230;..Because of that, in one day of class I learned more than I learned in an entire _year_ of Harvard&#8230;. What you need in a class is someone to explain to you how the language WORKS&#8230;. In only a few days of the Shariah Program, people were starting to read Arabic fluently &#8230; 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&#8230;.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<p>Yes, properly capitalizing on the &#8220;80/20 rule squared&#8221; allows my 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.</p>
<h4>Setting The Stage in The First 3 Weeks of Classes:</h4>
<p>The most dense 4% of all rules are taught in the opening 3 weeks of class! Within the first 3 weeks, you will have already been taught thoroughly how the language <em>works</em>. This is extremely powerful. It is not done from any text book. It is done by carefully isolating the core, and more importantly, suppressing and ignoring what does not belong to the core.</p>
<h4>Rest of Semester 1 Reinforces The Core:</h4>
<p>Reading from actual Arabic books begins gradually from the 3rd week of class. While reading and translating is taking place, simultaneously, <strong>the next most important set of rules</strong> is taught. The reading text is leveraged fully to not only build vocabulary, but also introduce grammar and morphology.</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea, here&#8217;s a short glimpse of <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>the timeline for your education:</strong></font></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>After Week 3:</strong> You’ll be reading from Qasas al-Nabiyin (the Stories of the Prophets), an Arabic book for children.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s what this means for you in the words of one student:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;<strong>Reading a real Arabic text from week 3 is amazing.</strong> I can’t emphasise how beneficial this is. I’ve studied grammar points for years through countless texts, but within a few weeks I had more benefit in the Shariah Program as the grammar comes to life. It is also highly motivating to be able to see yourself able to read an Arabic book&#8221;.</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>By the end Semester 1:</strong> You’ll have already mastered the science of Arabic Morphology which accounts for roughly 30% of ALL comprehension. And you&#8217;ll have covered the inner and outer core pertaining to Grammar I spoke about just now. You&#8217;ll know all of this very well. What this means is you can stop right here and come out with more than what others gain after a decade of self study.</li>
<li><strong>Early in Semester 2:</strong> You’ll be reading Arabic texts without any harakat – that’s right, no fatha, kasra, or dhamma training wheels needed for this ride.</li>
<li><strong>By the end Semester 2:</strong> You’ll have covered what I consider the best book in the world for grammar: a 132 page classical text called Hidayah an-Nahw. And you&#8217;ll have already begun the study of Qur’anic balagha (eloquence).</li>
</ul>
<p>SIDENOTE: I&#8217;ve taught this book 19 times (as of December 2011) and continue to reteach it 3 times each year with hundreds or students. Truth be told, I learn something new myself each time the text is covered in class. I always teach it myself LIVE and never delegate any aspect of its teaching. </p>
<p><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>What this means for you is you can rest assured that you&#8217;ll be studying with someone who is able to do what they do repeatedly (19 times and counting), happily, and successfully which incidentally is the very definition of &#8220;strength&#8221;. Please see the brief comment below which I got in a private email:</strong></font></p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;I am listening to the Hidayah an-Nahw recording of the live session where you are explaining the special mubtada where a sifa occurs as a mubtada. I have listened to this so many times, but every time I listen to it, it gets my full attention. And I can&#8217;t stop getting impressed each time when I listen to this &#8211; Many a times when I listen to the recordings, I get this feeling, but I don&#8217;t share this with you because I may appear to be fawning. Today, I felt a strong desire to share this with you &#8211; Masha Allah and JzkAllah for all the intensity and the elegant explanations (I really love the intensity in your voice when you explain something complex &#8211; in fact, when I heard this intensity in your voice in the first recording of yours when I was sampling the course, I decided to join and I just love that change in tone &#8211; not sure how many people notice it, but I notice it every time)&#8221;. (Sirajuddeeen Shamsuddeen)</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Early in Year 2:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>By the End of Year 2:</strong> 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.</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ve been teaching using this method for 9 years and students who previously struggled with Arabic for years at universities, Madrasas and &#8220;Do it yourself courses&#8221; are reporting with increasing frequency that they&#8217;ve finally found what they were looking for. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what another student had to say.</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;This is my third series of Arabic classes. I&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>&#8220;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&#8221;. (Farhad Akbari, March 2011)</center></div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<p>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.</p>
<p>From all that you’ve read above, there should be no question about what the Shariah Program will do for your comprehension and ability to appreciate the Qur’an once the program is completed.</p>
<p>After all, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>it&#8217;s worked for thousands of other students</strong></font>. Here are some comments left behind by former students:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;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&#8221;. (Asma, 2006 Intensive Student)</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;<strong>The whole course is logically mapped out.</strong> 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&#8221;. (Tushar, 2010 Online Student)</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;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&#8221;. (Waqar, 2003 Local Student)</p>

<p>Also, please read the small sampling of reviews we&#8217;ve separated to the right side of this page. Many more can be seen <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/testimonials/" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/testimonials/older-testimonials/" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://forums.shariahprogram.ca/testimonials-reviews/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<h4>Before Moving Forward I&#8217;d Like You To Ask Yourself Some Questions.</h4>
<p>What level of Arabic proficiency do you aspire to?</p>
<p>Are you interested in accessing the Ihya of Imam al-Ghazali, or perhaps the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir? </p>
<p><strong>Do you want to begin enjoying regular daily Qur&#8217;an recitation so it&#8217;s the most pleasurable thing you do each and every day? </strong></p>
<p>Do you want to be profoundly impacted by every verse, every phrase and every word and do you want those feelings that made even the mushriks in Makka  weep uncontrollably?</p>
<p>So now picture yourself having reached these goals. How long do you estimate it will take you to get there if you go at it alone? Please try and arrive at a time period in your mind.</p>
<p>At this stage you&#8217;re probably experiencing a glimmer of hope that we can do this when we work together. However, let me tell you from previous experience working with thousands of students just like yourself that if you go at it alone, it will take you double or maybe triple the amount of time that you originally estimated.</p>
<p><strong>But the good news is you don&#8217;t have to struggle on your own because I&#8217;ll help you get there much faster than even what your original estimate was.</strong></p>
<p>This is the exercise I take all my new students through and based on my 9 years of experience doing this, here&#8217;s my promise to you: <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>if you enroll in this program, I&#8217;ll get you to your goal in half the time. For many of you it will be in one fourth the time of your original estimate and for a few of you, I&#8217;ll get you there in one tenth the time of your original estimate.</strong></font></p>
<p>Yes. You heard me correctly. I can do this. I can make it happen. So, what is one tenth of the original time you put down, or a quarter, or one half? Now contrast that to the other number, the one which is at least 2 to 3 times longer than your original number and stretches far into the future.</p>
<p>So as you can see, I&#8217;m doing everything in my power to make this as easy as it can be for you so you can be certain about it. I&#8217;ve shared with you the impact my processes have had on thousands of students that were right where you are right now. I&#8217;ve shown you the phenomenal results experienced by my students. Here&#8217;s another case study you may be able to resonate with. He&#8217;s talking about some of his struggles prior to joining our program:</p>
<div class="blockquote">
<div class="first">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="middle">
<p>&#8220;Being a student required me at times to do a lot of self-study and I studied many Arabic language books on grammar, nominal sentences, verbal nouns, etc., but I must say that nothing brought that understanding of grammar together for me more than this Shariah Program. Most Arabic books on grammar focus on only one aspect of grammar at a time without making the very important connections to the ‘bigger picture’. In other words, it’s very easy to get lost because you can’t see the forest for the trees.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Shariah Program&#8217;s method gives the big picture right away taking you into advanced topics immediately, thereby making it easy for you to the make the connections later on. This method of teaching is indeed a unique and a powerful way of going from the complex to the simple, which on the surface seems out of order, but Mufti Yusuf Mullan’s method of arranging the materials makes it easy to understand and grasp.&#8221; (Rashad, October 2011 student)</p>
</div>
<div class="last">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<h4>Life-Time Access To Over 50 Hours of My Best Training</h4>
<p>The details above I felt were important. Much more could be said and let me assure you that A LOT more has been left unsaid than said. You&#8217;re already one of my subscribers so you already know that I offer an Unconditional 90-day Money Back Guarantee which means that for any reason at all or even no reason, if you feel this program is not suited to you, all you have to do is send me one email and you&#8217;re entire tuition will be refunded back promptly. 90 days is an awful long time. You can watch through all 50 hours of material TWICE and if you feel the value wasn&#8217;t better than we promised, still get all of your money back. </p>

<h3 class="rule_bottom">Have you heard what other students are saying?</h3>
<ul style="color: #555555;">
<p><em>&#8220;I am a father of 9, so time is a luxury that I don&#8217;t always have. I have tried for several years to learn the Arabic language and this course has allowed me to achieve more in the past 15 months then I have in all my previous years collectively&#8221;. (Kyree Spain)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;This course, for me, was the first and only opportunity for a sister to really excel in the Arabic langauge. What I can get and have gained from this course I don&#8217;t think any sister in the world can get it elsewhere and I am sure of it.&#8221; (Safiya Bint Ahmed)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I have been studying Arabic for a decade but seen nothing like it. There is no replacement for this in our English world. All the books written on teaching Arabic fall below par to the standard set by Shaykh Mufti Yusuf Mullan&#8221;. (Yasin Shaikh)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I feel the spiritual benefit of it already&#8230;. (I am 63)&#8230; All these years I have studied, I thought I was just a poor learner, but I can see that what I was taught and the manner of how I was taught was inferior&#8221;. (Yousef &#8211; older student with vision and hearing limitations)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I ought to know as I’m a university lecturer myself who also happens to teach what some take to be a difficult subject, viz. molecular biology, and moreover knows what makes a really good course and what it takes to be not just good but great teachers!&#8221; (A.M.A. Imam &#8211; PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology) </p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The value for money honestly can&#8217;t be beaten. All in all simply the best online Arabic program that I know of. The students certainly believe so. Just ask us on the forum&#8221;. (alex)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;No offense to anyone who may have also done other online courses but if anyone asks me about learning Arabic I have to tell them that this course is the way to go. This is a claim I am prepared to vigorously defend too&#8221;. (Ahmad Farrall)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Within first few weeks I realised the structure of this course meant that it was adding to everything I had been exposed to and forming a much clearer map of the language. The course has never felt boring despite my previous exposure and the students are always being stretched and steadily taken to the next level&#8221;. (Faisal Khan)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;what I covered with the Buffalo curriculum (going 5 times a week for 4 hours each day) in one year, this course covered in 3 months (being a weekend course)! Subhan&#8217;Allah&#8221; (Amina Tirmizi)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;So what makes this course great you ask. Is it the web tools, is it the powerpoint slides, is it paltalk. No! What makes this course great is the teacher. His name is Yusuf Mullan he is committed and his teaching experience has given him the ability to introduce new material at the right time so that you are never overwhelmed. He is a gift from Allah(swt) to the people and if you get a chance to study under him then my advice is don&#8217;t hesitate&#8221;. (Zarar Ismail)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I heard about Shariah Program a few years ago and because I was doing another Arabic course, I did not start with Sharia Program. I am really glad and all praise is due to Allah that I did not put it off any longer, because what I have realized, since joining is that Sharia Program taught in 13 weeks what took 3 years+ in the other course&#8221;. (Farida)</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Last week, I heard a Khutbah after Fajr in which I understood almost everything I have heard. <u>It was such an ecstatic moment for me in my Arabic learning</u>&#8230;. to tell you all the truth, I was probably one of the worst students in the first 6 months&#8230; I resolved to myself that I would not only catch up but also try to be one of the best students in my class&#8230;. my family, friends and colleagues say that I am a person who is hard-to-please. Here in TSP, my experience has just been the opposite. I am pleased with the course from Day 1 till now&#8221;. (Siraj from Geneva)</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,</p>
<p>Congratulations on taking the first step towards your Arabic mastery.<br />
I&#8217;d like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU on trusting us with<br />
this important area of your life and allowing us to share in the rewards,<br />
insha Allah.</p>
<p>Signing up early gives you the benefit of getting a jump start with the<br />
content before class starts on March 25, 2012. Trust me, with 9 years of<br />
experience teaching Arabic, the number one thing a committed student can do<br />
to keep from being overwhelmed is sign up early. Getting through 10-12 weeks<br />
of material before class starts will get you that much needed first exposure<br />
as well as an edge over the rest of the class. Keep in mind, when you are<br />
going through the material the first time, you should aim for only 60-70%<br />
retention.</p>
<p>The course does move fast. The biggest favor you can do yourself is to get<br />
through a week&#8217;s worth of content every 10-14 days. (Please do this in a<br />
relaxed manner without too much pressure). That will do wonders for<br />
you. You will know it very well, insha Allah</p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s how to claim one or all of the 6 remaining registration bonuses:</h4>
<p>1. For the books, please reply to the email that brought you to this page<br />
with your mailing address.*</p>
<p>2. An administrator will adjust your forum account to reflect the<br />
2 free months of self-paced access. Please include your forum<br />
username in the email reply you send with your mailing address<br />
to claim the books. (No need to send 2 emails).</p>
<p>Please allow 24 hours for these manual changes to be made.<br />
jazakallah khairan.</p>
<p>3. <strong>If you prepaid for all of year 1</strong>, we&#8217;ll also create for you an<br />
account at the video portal for the &#8220;Premium Alphabet Course&#8221;.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing further for you to do to claim the Alphabet Course<br />
bonus. You&#8217;ll get a separate welcome email with login information<br />
for that.</p>
<p>wassalam,<br />
Yusuf</p>
<p>P.S. The private message at the forum contains the instructions for<br />
accessing the videos and other content. You can access private messages<br />
<a href="http://forums.shariahprogram.ca/private.php">here</a>.</p>
<p>*The complimentary books package is only for those who signed<br />
up prior to November 15 either through a single payment or by<br />
availing installments.. If you do not qualify and want books,<br />

<h4><a name="1">Why be interested?</a></h4>
<ul>
<li>Have you been sporadically going to halaqas for years, but have little or nothing to show for it?</li>
<li>Do you crave a serious course that doesn’t seem like a “guilty conscience assuager” but actually teaches you something?</li>
<li>Do you want to go beyond the numerous lectures/conferences but don’t know where to go?</li>
<li>Do you want an organized curriculum, with textbooks, punctual, regular sessions, a clear path and a beginning and an end-goal?</li>
<li><strong>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?</strong></li>
<li>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?</li>
</ul>
<p>If you answer, &#8220;Yes!&#8221; to any of these questions, then you should seriously consider this special, time-sensitive opportunity.

<h2><a name="2">Here&#8217;s what it&#8217;s all about:</a></h2>
<p>The Shariah Program is a totally unique and <strong>powerful online learning experience</strong> 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.</p>
<p>It&#8217;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. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>It&#8217;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. </p>
<p>No more having to worry about who will be your teacher at the start of every semester.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I know you&#8217;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&#8217;s notice.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>If I&#8217;ve been successful in describing your situation, then your luck is about to change&#8230;</p>
<p>Through our online course, you will learn <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">years of scholarly Arabic in a matter of weeks</font> with an <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">accomplished sheikh</font>.</p>
<p>Your teacher is <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/teachers/yusuf-mullan/">Mufti Yusuf Mullan</a>, 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&#8217;s also a native English speaker, and with 16 years teaching experience, he is the perfect guide on your path to knowledge.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Reading and Learning Classical Arabic vs Speaking in a Modern Arabic Dialect</h4>
<p>First of all, when people like you and me say &#8220;I want to learn Arabic&#8221;, what we really mean is that we want to understand the Qur&#8217;an and the commentaries that expound on its beauty.</p>
<p>But universities concentrate on anything but that. They focus on conversational fluency and regional dialects&#8230; when what we want is reading, analyzing, translating, and understanding the miraculous aspects&#8230; the stuff that made the Sahaba cry. </p>
<h4>Designed for Adult Students Who Deserve the Highest Standards</h4>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; 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.</p>
<p>And, finally, we have to get serious about attending Halaqas, seminars, &#8220;Do It Yourself Courses&#8221; and such. Those things are great to boost our Iman&#8230; but it&#8217;s not the place for long term, serious study. </p>
<p>The Shariah Program is a cut above. It&#8217;s designed exactly for people like us. The <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">focus is on understanding the Qur&#8217;an</font>. The environment and students are serious and sophisticated. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">The teachers, curriculum and resources</font> you will have <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">will finally get you to where you need to be</font>. And that&#8217;s a promise and a guarantee. </p>
<p>The strategy behind what it does is simple&#8230;</p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s How We Do Mind Blowing Amounts in Mere Days: The &#8220;Better than Harvard&#8221; Advantage</h4>
<p>You see, a primary aspect of the Shariah Program curriculum is a principle called the <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">80/20 Rule Squared</font>. This is at the heart of the curriculum.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Not all rules and lessons are created equal</span>. In fact, the &#8220;80/20 Rule&#8221; states that you can expect 20% of your efforts to give you 80% of all the benefits you ultimately achieve.</p>
<p>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 (<em>nahw</em>), Morphology (<em>sarf</em>) and Rhetoric (<em>balagha</em>).</p>
<p>The rules that belong to this 20% core have the <strong>broadest application </strong>by far. These are the <strong>fundamentals</strong> of Arabic that you would expect to encounter in practically every sentence.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;80/20 Rule&#8221; with the 20% core, we get an inner core of no more than 4% of all the total rules in the 3 sciences. <strong>This 4% inner core accounts for over half of all benefits!</strong></p>
<p><FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">As a registered student, you&#8217;ll have covered this inner-core in the first 3 weeks of classes!</font></p>
<p>And it is the ability to <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">properly capitalize on this very concept that allows students in our program to grow at an exponential rate</font>. A sister who studied Arabic at Harvard university and subsequently at our intensive puts it best:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8230; Because of that, in one day of class I learned more than I learned in an entire _year_ of Harvard&#8230;. What you need in a class is someone to explain to you how the language WORKS&#8230;. In only a few days of the Shariah Program, people were starting to read Arabic fluently &#8230; 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&#8230;.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, properly capitalizing on the &#8220;80/20 rule squared&#8221; 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.</p>
<p>Just to give you an idea, here&#8217;s a short glimpse of <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">the <strong>timeline</strong> for your education</font></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>After Week 3:</strong> You’ll be reading from Qasas al-Nabiyin (the Stories of the Prophets) an Arabic book for children.</li>
<li><strong>By the end Semester 1:</strong> You’ll have already mastered 30% of the language.</li>
<li><strong>Also by the end Semester 1:</strong> You’ll be reading Arabic texts without any harakat – that’s right, no fatha, kasra, or dhamma training wheels needed for this ride.</li>
<li><strong>By the end Semester 2:</strong> You’ll have covered the best book in the world for grammar and have already begun the study of Qur’anic balagha (eloquence).</li>
<li><strong>Early in Year 2:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>By the End of Year 2:</strong> 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.</li>
</ul>
<p>The course has been running for 9 years and students who previously struggled with Arabic for years at universities, Madrasas and &#8220;Do it yourself courses&#8221; have finally found what they were looking for. Here&#8217;s what some of them have to say.</p>
<blockquote><p>This is my third series of Arabic classes. I&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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. </p>

<p><a href="#TOP">BACK TO TOP</a></p>
<h4>You Get A Superior Curriculum Tailored to Your Specific Needs.</h4>
<p>So you&#8217;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&#8217;ve been struggling to learn the language?</p>
<p>First of all, understand that there are <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"><strong>different types of learners</strong></font>. Some people learn by watching. Others learn by listening and concentrating. Others learn by reading and flipping pages. And so on.</p>
<p>A large number of students fail to see any results from courses because the course doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s just not for them&#8230; and was never going to help them from the beginning.</p>
<p>Shariah Program won&#8217;t do that to you. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">The entire course is structured to cater to your learning style</font>. Visual learners will appreciate the sentence diagrams the sheikh will draw almost every lecture, others will appreciate the practice and drills and quizzing&#8230; and like that there&#8217;s something for everyone in this rich environment. </p>
<p><center><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/banners/shariah2yearprogram.jpg" alt="Virtual Representation of What You Get" ></center></p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s How We Make Absolute Sure You&#8217;re Getting What&#8217;s Right for You:</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pre-recorded Video Lectures:</strong> You&#8217;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.</li>
<li><strong>Audio Files:</strong> There&#8217;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&#8217;t want the distraction of references to charts and stuff.</li>
<li><strong>Slides &#038; Transcriptions:</strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>Classes are Recorded &#038; Archived:</strong> All live classes are recorded and available for you to download and listen whenever you want. So if you don&#8217;t like taking notes, you won&#8217;t have to worry about missing any details.</li>
<li><strong>Helpful Resources:</strong> 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&#8217;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.</li>
<li><strong>Alternative Class Timings:</strong> 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.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now second of all, so many students either fail to see results from the courses they&#8217;re taking, or they just get burnt out and fall off the wagon.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>At Shariah Program, though, <strong>the way we teach is as important as what we teach</strong>, we take didactics and pedagogy very seriously to make sure you learn properly and that you keep going. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">Here’s how the teaching method is different</font> from what you’ve experienced in the past and how it makes sure you see results and you never lose steam.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Complex Topics are Introduced Early &#038; Elaborated on Gradually:</strong> 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&#8217;re doing. You see the results in front of your very eyes.</li>
<li><strong>Lessons are Intensive but Kept Manageable:</strong> 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, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">we revisit topics often so you internalize all concepts thoroughly and naturally</font>. We develop proper analytical skills so you retain what you learn and gain insights. And we don&#8217;t get burnt out.</li>
<li><strong>You&#8217;ll Put Everything to Practice in Real-Time: </strong>So many courses, especially Madrasas, are guilty of the following. They&#8217;ll cover an entire book on Arabic grammar without any practice. This just burns you out and you don&#8217;t see any results. In this course, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">as soon as you learn something, you put it to practice immediately</font>. Your main mode of practice will be the Stories of the Prophets book, which you can use to make sure you&#8217;re learning boat-loads every week. This helps your grammar rules come to life every week and you&#8217;ll see results in real-time.</li>
<li><strong>50% Arabic Medium:</strong> Later in the course, 50% of your classes will be in Arabic.</li>
<li><strong>You&#8217;ll Have Goals &#038; a Roadmap:</strong> Everything you learn is logically calculated&#8230; What are the goals? What should be taught in order to achieve them? In how much detail? When should concepts be introduced? It&#8217;s all well thought out and available to you. In fact, the instructor refers to this roadmap often. You&#8217;ll be able to see where you are, where your goals are taking you and <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">you can verify your progress</font> against this roadmap every week.</li>
<li><strong>Memorization is Very Minimal:</strong> In this course, the way it works is that you have to do very little memorization. That&#8217;s because you will focus on <em>understanding</em> the meat of a topic. <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">You&#8217;ll  develop analytical skills and understand the big picture. Once you have that, memorization becomes irrelevant</font>&#8230; you see things differently.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('142')">Click to expand/hide list of 8 further unique points of difference, e.g. student participation</a><div id="142" style="display:none;"> </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Participation is Highly Encouraged:</strong> No one achieves their goals in a straight line; many course corrections (mistakes) have to be made. But the faster and more often you make these mistakes, the faster you will see results. Therefore, you will participate in class by reading texts in front of the teacher and have your mistakes corrected each and every week. This will ensure you understand all grammatical concepts introduced in lecture and are able to analyze and translate sentences.</li>
<li><strong>You&#8217;ll be Drilled in Front of the Teacher:</strong> You will participate in verb table recitation to ensure that you understand exactly how verbs are conjugated and how morphophonemic rules are applied.</li>
<li><strong>Quizzes by Senior Students:</strong> Quizzing is dealt with by the instructor in tutorials and by senior students on the message board. This provides you with continuous, real-time feedback.</li>
<li><strong>Eureka-Moment Study Sessions:</strong> Students are encouraged to create study groups in the virtual classroom space outside of class time. We&#8217;ve noticed that this has given students a huge boost in the past and serves as a spawning ground for eureka moments. You&#8217;ll always be encouraged to work hard, get help, help others and participate in the community.</li>
<li><strong>Full Accountability System:</strong> Students are expected to provide weekly reports on their progress. This ensures your progress is always visible to the head master, you get all the help you need designed specifically for you, and you never fall off the bandwagon.</li>
<li><strong>Calculated Breaks:</strong> You&#8217;ll have time to digest new course material, review, and look ahead based on a 4-weeks-on-1-week-off schedule plus a 5 week break for Ramadan.</li>
<li><strong>We Never Let You Fail (All the Help You Need):</strong> Not only is the instructor available to answer all your questions, but the message board is open 24/7 for you to ask. Someone (either the instructor or a senior student) will answer your questions within a few hours of your post. And, in the past, senior students have always been available to help the juniors as much as they need, even in extra sessions in the virtual classroom. You&#8217;ll always be safe.</li>
<li><strong>We Never Lose Steam:</strong> The course has been kicking for 9 years with more students applying than registration permits. The teachers are dedicated, inspiring and even very funny and light-hearted. Students are always kept engaged, motivated, they learn tons every week and are encouraged to apply their knowledge constantly with real-time feedback and calculated progression&#8230; whew, that was a mouthful, but it&#8217;s what makes the difference between Shariah program and everything else.</li>
</ul>
<p> </div></p>
<p><a href="#TOP">BACK TO TOP</a></p>
<h2><a name="3">Here&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important for your life right now&#8230;</a></h2>
<p>Unlike many courses, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">what&#8217;s different about Shariah Program is that we understand life is busy and unpredictable</font>. In fact, that&#8217;s kind of who this course was built for in the first place&#8230; busy people.</p>
<p>So what it doesn&#8217;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)&#8230; here&#8217;s the list</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>All Course Material Available When You Need It:</strong> 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&#8217;re going to be away&#8230; first let the instructor know&#8230; then you can either work ahead at your own speed, or play catch up when you get back and rejoin the class. It&#8217;s that easy.</li>
<li><strong>Ability to Temporarily Move to Self-Paced Mode:</strong> If you&#8217;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&#8217;t have live practice or all the other benefits of the main class, but it&#8217;s a way for you to keep yourself connected and not lose touch while you&#8217;re gone.</li>
<li><strong>Ability to Retake Previous Semesters:</strong> 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&#8230; at half the normal costs. Then work your way back up stronger and more educated than ever before.</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>After all, <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">it&#8217;s worked for hundreds of other students</font>. Here are some comments left behind by former students:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.<br />
<center><strong>Asma, 2006 Intensive Student</strong></center></p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>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.<br />
<center><strong>Tushar, 2010 Online Student</strong></center></p></blockquote>
<hr />
<blockquote><p>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.<br />

<h2><a name="4">How much will it cost?</a></h2>
<p>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&#8217;s one of many unsolicited remarks that flood my inbox daily:</p>
<blockquote><p>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.</p>
<p><center><strong>Fariha Siddiquie, May 2011 student in first semester</strong></center></p></blockquote>
<h4>In the first semester of Year 1 ALONE you will cover 7 primary courses (plus others):</h4>
<div id="course_6_month_intensive_ordered-list">
<ol>
<li>Introductory Grammar</li>
<li>Intermediate Grammar</li>
<li>Introductory Morphology</li>
<li>Intermediate Morphology</li>
<li>Advanced Morphology</li>
<li>Introductory Reading &#038; Vocabulary</li>
<li>Intermediate Reading &#038; Vocabulary</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p><center><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/banners/dvdsetgraphic3.jpg" alt="7 Primary Courses" ></center></p>
<p>And you&#8217;ll get all the resources (videos, MP3s, slides, transcripts, forum access, live tutorials, lectures, etc) I mentioned before. You get <strong>over 50 hours</strong> of Mufti Yusuf&#8217;s best training that he&#8217;s spent the last 9 years perfecting.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h4>Other Institutes Will Charge You an Average of $2,625 USD for These 7 Courses</br><br />
<del datetime="2011-09-17T19:54:10+00:00">$375 x 7 = $2,625 USD</del></h4>
<p></center></p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/first-week-free/" target="_blank">take their systems for a trial run, just as you did this with our system</a>. After all, you are the best judge of quality.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h4>Back to the Price Point: the Price Will be Decided by You, The Student&#8230;</h4>
<p></center></p>
<p>What does that mean? It means that if you&#8217;re not reading Arabic books by week 3-4, reading books without vowels by the end of semester 1, or you&#8217;re not learning ridiculous amounts of Arabic with eye-popping results in what you thought were impossibly short time periods&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230; then it won’t cost you a penny. That&#8217;s because, if the program is not <em>just right</em> for you, you&#8217;ll notice that and you won&#8217;t stay enrolled for more than 90 days. And you will take advantage of the <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">90-day unconditional, no hassle, no questions, no delays 100% tuition + books + everything refund guarantee</font> (see below).</p>
<p>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 <strong>Single Affordable Payment of $797</strong> (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&#8217;ll be getting for early registration.</p>

<h4>Tuition Breakdown</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Year One Live: </strong> 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.</li>
<li><strong>Year One Self-Study: </strong>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.<br />
<a href="javascript:collapseExpand('3599')">Click Here to Expand/Hide Additional Details About the Self-Paced Version of the Program</a><div id="3599" style="display:none;"> </p>
<p>The 2 main benefits in being able to attend the sessions live are <strong>increased access to the instructor and accountability</strong>: 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&#8217;ve introduced this more affordable option.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>As a self-paced student you&#8217;ll get:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Access to the Instructor via the Student Message Boards:</strong> Mufti Yusuf does not take incoming phone calls and does not reply to content related emails</li>
<li><strong>Recordings of all of the Live Sessions:</strong> (2 hours per week). These recordings are unedited. You will not be able to <u>attend</u> 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)</li>
<li><strong>Opportunity to Form Study Groups</strong> 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</li>
<li><strong>24/7 Access to Ask Whatever You Need to</strong> at the message boards as mentioned earlier on this page</li>
<li><strong>Ability to Convert Your Registration</strong> 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</li>
<li><strong>Our 90 Day Unconditional Guarantee</strong> 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</li>
</ul>

<em>*this chart lists the normal costs associated to each level of registration (<strong>not including early-registration incentives and bonuses</strong>). &#8220;Entry&#8221; 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&#8217;re interested in attending live classes from March 2012, <strong>please read on</strong>. </em></p>
<p><a href="#TOP">BACK TO TOP</a><br />

</a></p>
<h2><a name="5">Early-Bird Bonuses: Save close to $1,500.00 in tuition costs and books</a></h2>
<p><strong>WAIT &#038; BE LOCKED OUT.</strong> Based on what we&#8217;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&#8217;ve put together below is by far the most valuable ever offered for early-registration. </p>
<p><strong>EARLY REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS &#038; INCENTIVES EXPIRE @</br> MIDNIGHT ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 15TH.</strong><br />
HIGHER FEES will be in place for ALL registrations after this date &#8211; no exceptions. Also the convenient 3-monthly installment EZ-Pay is available only until November 15th.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bonus 1: </strong>You&#8217;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. </li>
<li><strong>Bonus 2:</strong> 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&#8217;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. </li>
<li><strong>Bonus 3: </strong>&#8220;Beginners Book Package&#8221; 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.</li>
</ul>
<p>Total savings amount to $490.08 USD</p>
<p>When you click the &#8220;Add to Cart&#8221; button, you&#8217;ll notice that in addition to the 6-Month option, there&#8217;s an annual membership option with even greater savings.</p>
<p>If you select <strong>this annual option</strong>, then, in addition to the 3 bonuses mentioned above, you&#8217;ll get the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bonus 4:</strong> Opportunity to save an additional $500.00 by prepaying for semester 2 of year 1 at an even more generous $497 instead of $997</li>
<li><strong>Bonus 5:</strong> Life-time access to Sidi Mohtanick Jamil&#8217;s Premium Alphabet Course which is a beginner&#8217;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 <em>tajweed</em> and the basics of proper pronunciation. The Premium Alphabet Course retails for $297 and you can verify this by <a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/courses/premium-alphabet/">clicking this link</a>. It&#8217;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. </li>
<li><strong>Bonus 6:</strong> 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)</li>
</ul>
<p>The savings on these last 3 bonuses amount to $994. Added to the earlier 3 bonuses, <strong>the total savings are $1484.08</strong>. </p>
<p>It goes without saying that the annual membership is the best deal, BY FAR!</p>
<p>So why am I offering such an insane discount just for taking the annual membership?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s simple: The folks that select the annual membership are acknowledging that this is a process, and <strong>not a one-time-quick-fix</strong>.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a sign of maturity (as is your considering registration 5 months before the start-date), and I really respect that so I&#8217;m dropping the costs further as a sign of respect and appreciation.</p>
<p>But with all of that said, I know that the annual membership is not right for everyone so please don&#8217;t feel ashamed for selecting the 6-Month option. It&#8217;s still a tremendous value and <strong>you&#8217;re still smart for getting in&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>So whether you pay the full price tomorrow (or some later date) or <strong>join at the discounted rate TODAY</strong>, your membership comes with a 90-day, no-questions-asked guarantee.</p>
<h4>Unconditional 90 Day Guarantee</h4>
<p>You have <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow">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.</font> 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 &#8220;fine print&#8221;. Simple and straightforward; you find yourself attaining your goals faster than you imagined possible or you get a full refund. And, incidentally, we&#8217;re devoted to the goal of only having satisfied students. If you&#8217;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.</p>
<p><center><img alt="" src="http://www.study-habits.com/images/guarantee.GIF" title="Unconditional Guarantee"  width="200" height="198" /></center></p>
<p>If you&#8217;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, <a href="http://forums.shariahprogram.ca/register.php">you may sign up with complete confidence</a>. All risk has been effectively removed.</p>
<p>Believe it or not, we also have testimonials from students who were unable to continue and requested a refund. Here is just one:</p>
<blockquote><p>Asslamu Alaykum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakhathu,</p>
<p>It will be a joy to take classes in the future when I am more able (InshAllah)<br />
but for now I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your most professional service.<br />
A lot of companies say they have a &#8220;no-hassle&#8221; refund policy but when you try to get your<br />
refund it is actually a very BIG hassle. That usually takes a lot of time and questions.<br />
However, you quickly and courteously refunded my money without even one small bit of hassle.<br />
Integrity and honesty is getting harder to find nowadays but clearly it is alive and well at the Shariah Program.</p>
<p>Thank you for such a superior guarantee and your great service.</p>
<p>Jazak Allah Khair</p></blockquote>

<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('364')">I barely know the Arabic alphabet. Should I sign up for this 2-Year Online Course, or do recommend something else first?</a><div id="364" style="display:none;"> 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 <strong><a href="http://www.shariahprogram.ca/courses/premium-alphabet/">Premium Alphabet Course page</a></strong> to learn more about our new offering which will give you everything you need to realize your dream of mastering the Arabic language. It&#8217;s a new course that comes highly recommended. </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('8154')">What are the timings for the live tutorials beginning in October?</a><div id="8154" style="display:none;"> <em>Prerecorded lectures can be accessed immediately upon registration.</em>Live weekly tutorials will be scheduled as follows:<br />
<h4>Start Date: Saturday, October 1, 2011</h4>
<p>There will be two, 1-hour tutorial sessions each week. Timings are in Eastern Standard Time.<br />
•         Saturday morning: 8:15–9:15 am (EST) &amp;<br />
•         Wednesday evening: 9:00–10:00 pm (EST) –or- Wednesday evening: 5:00–5:40 pm* (EST)<br />
<em>(*earlier session for International students)</em> </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('4611')">Will there be any breaks for the live sessions throughout the year?</a><div id="4611" style="display:none;"> 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. </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('1841')">Will the course materials be shipped to me, or will I have to acquire them on my own?</a><div id="1841" style="display:none;"> 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:
<p>1. Fundamentals of Classical Arabic, by Shaikh Husain Sattar<br />
2. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 1<br />
3. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 2<br />
4. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 3<br />
5. Syed Abul Hasan Ali al-Nadawi’s Stories of the Prophets Part 4<br />
6. Original Arabic text of Imam al-Zarnuji’s Instruction of the Student (<em>Talim al-Muta’allim</em>)<br />
7. Original text of <em>Hidayatun Nahw</em> to be introduced in 7th month (<em>Will not be placed in international packages due to weight considerations</em>).</p>
<p>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).</p>

<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('4189')">How are the live tutorials conducted over the Internet?</a><div id="4189" style="display:none;"> 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.

<p><strong>Group Study Sessions</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>

<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('7574')">What are the system requirements?</a><div id="7574" style="display:none;"> Minimum Requirements:<br />

 </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('7776')">Will PalTalk work properly with a Mac?</a><div id="7776" style="display:none;"> <br />
PalTalk has a <a href="http://express.paltalk.com/">browser based version</a> which doesn&#8217;t involve any software. This can be used by Mac users and works just as well.<br />
 </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('1714')">Is Paltalk completely free to use?</a><div id="1714" style="display:none;"> 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.
<p>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 &#8220;blue nick&#8221; 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.<br />

<h4>Payment Related</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('6085')">Do you offer any family discount?</a><div id="6085" style="display:none;"> Yes. You can invite a second family member into the course whereby both of you will receive a further $350 off your <strong>second semester tuition costs</strong> 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.<br />
 </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('3665')">Will the costs associated to the program always remain this low?</a><div id="3665" style="display:none;"> 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.<br />
 </div></li>
<li><a href="javascript:collapseExpand('4394')">Can I pay in installments?</a><div id="4394" style="display:none;"> 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.

<p>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. </p>

<h4>In only a few days&#8230;</h4>
<p>Anyone can learn vocab on his own with a dictionary and flashcards. What you need in a class is someone to explain to you how the language WORKS. You need someone to force you to read from an unvowelled book, so you learn to infer the vowels as you read and then have to translate later. You need someone to drill you in verb tables so it becomes second nature for you to conjugate a verb and recognize what conjugation a verb is in when you read it in the Qur’aan or any other arabic book. You CANNOT read without this information. </p>
<p>In only a few days of the Shariah program, people were starting to read arabic fluently (understanding was yet to come for people with no prior arabic exposure, but 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.</p>

<h4>Everyone is so welcoming</h4>
<p>I very recently asked a sister (who is further along in the program) for additional help with verbs, and she quickly replied offering her assistance and I&#8217;m very happy about this. I don&#8217;t know that this would have happened in any other program. I&#8217;m thrilled to be a part of this program.</p>

<h4>What really makes this course so great</h4>
<p>I&#8217;ve been studying Arabic off and on for a few years&#8230;.</p>
<p>We are currently in the 13th week of the course and I can honestly say that I&#8217;ve already understood more Arabic in this short time, than I have done previously in all of the other courses I have attended combined.</p>
<p>So what makes this course great you ask. Is it the web tools, is it the powerpoint slides, is it paltalk. No! What makes this course great is the teacher. His name is Yusuf Mullan he is committed and his teaching experience has given him the ability to introduce new material at the right time so that you are never overwhelmed. He is a gift from Allah(swt) to the people and if you get a chance to study under him then my advice is don&#8217;t hesitate.</p>

<h4>I love this course</h4>
<p>Salaam all, I joined this course in October 2009, and this is my first attempt ever at learning Arabic. In 3 short months, I have learned an incredible amount to the point that when I pick up any basic Arabic text like &#8220;Quranic Language Made Easy&#8221; etc, I am amazed that I already know 90% of the contents of these books! Even reading through the verses of Qur&#8217;an now, I am able to understand a lot more than I thought. Our teacher has an amazingly articulate and focused style of teaching, as well as command over English to help explain points thoroughly. </p>
<p>I also like the format of the course very much &#8211; besides listening to recorded material, we do hands-on recitations and Q/A online, as well as reading books right away that illustrate all the points covered in the recordings. The online nature of this course allows for flexibility to do most of the work at our own time, whether that is during the day or middle of the night. I love that.</p>
<p>The forum is also an excellent way of getting questions answered and it is incredible how quickly people respond.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this course to anyone who has a passion for learning the great language of Arabic.</p>

<h4>You will come away with much more than just Arabic</h4>
<p>The teacher can understand thoroughly the eloquent speech of Imam Ghazali. I believe many other scholars could not understand it the way he does nor teach it like him, he has taught it in such a way that a novice like me has grasped the concepts of correct logical reasoning and increased her understanding of the Arabic language. His bringing a certain book or topic into the program is thought out, exactly what the student needs, although s/he may not understand or appreciate this straight away.</p>
<p>Everything I’m learning here is setting a foundation for me and not only is it increasing my yearning to learn more of the deeni uloom it is feeding it. If you are thinking about joining this course then my advice would be join it and if you are under the misconception of the light (for knowledge is nur) from your teacher entering your heart because you are not learning face to face, rest assured. Know that tawfeeq is only from Allah Ta’ala and persevere. You will come away with more than understanding of the Arabic language.</p>

<h4>You will feel very privileged</h4>
<p>In many large institutions the senior shaykh often designs the syllabus and may give a few live sessions but the majority of the teaching is by junior teachers who aren&#8217;t as advanced or as thorough. When you graduate from a level, you get a new teacher &#8211; whose style or personality may not be as good as the previous one. TSP is unique in that we have the priviliege of having Mufti Yusuf &#8211; the designer and senior expert &#8211; not only teaching every lesson, but taking the time to even lead the mundane memorisation sessions. He has dedicated himself fully to the course so as a student you feel very privileged.</p>

<h4>I am so thankful to Allah&#8230;</h4>
<p>After speaking to Mufti Sahib a few times regarding some grammer questions on a forums site, I noticed how easily I understood things because Mash&#8217;Allah he explained it so well. Then I came to know about the Shariah Program, at first I was hesitant in trying out an online program because I thought if I studied face to face with a teacher (like I was doing before), I would learn better and it would be more beneficial for me. But then I decided to give this a try and I joined the program and wow I was really wrong!</p>
<p>Masha&#8217;Allah I have no words for this program, Allah has truly blessed me by guiding me towards this and I am so greatful. Mufti Sahib is such an amazing teacher and even though our course is only a weekend course&#8211;there must be so much barakah in this course because even though we move at a moderate pace, we end up covering so much. That is to say, what I covered with the Buffalo curriculum (going 5 times a week for 4 hours each day) in one year, this course covered in 3 months (being a weekend course)! Subhan&#8217;Allah</p>
<p>Even though this class has currently finished thier first year, Masha&#8217;Allah I feel like they&#8217;ve already covered 2 years of the course in this past year.</p>
<p>Like Mufti Sahib said, this 2 year course covers everything you would learn in 3 years of an Alimah course.</p>
<p>I feel like I didn&#8217;t learn as thoroughly in my madrassa as much as the students have learned in this course. Mufti Saheb goes into so much detail, and maddrassas usually leave those parts out when teaching.</p>
<p>Another thing I liked was that we start reading classical Arabic texts (without any vowels) after about 6 months into the course, whereas in a normal madrassa, that wouldn&#8217;t start until 2nd or 3rd year.</p>
<p>I am just so thankful to Allah for showing me this course, and may he make it easy for all of us, and may it benefit us in this world and the next. Ameen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re a student residing in a Middle Eastern or Asian Country, it is quite possible that PalTalk will not allow you to access our room, unless you upgrade your PalTalk account to PalTalk PLUS (Blue nick). Apparently, ad agencies have difficulty selling advertisements targeted to international users. For this reason, they make the users pay for the service themselves.</p>
<p>Fortunately, it&#8217;s only $40 USD for an entire year. You get some additional benefits like better quality audio.</p>
<p>Normally, I take care of this for students by contacting their customer support and submitting the payment. I do this because it is very difficult for a user to contact their support and do it themselves.. way too many hoops and obstacles.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&#038;hosted_button_id=EJRLZPXTCQLU8">Please use this link to submit the payment</a> and then email info@shariahprogram.ca with your PalTalk username. The link is set slightly higher to $49. </p>
<p>Please allow 3-5 days for me to take care of this. </p>
