Course Design
PRE-Alim course, introducing classical methodology of Islamic knowledge and scholarship
Modern educational approach of teaching
Embracing entire academic tradition of Ahl-e-Sunnah wal-Jamaah with respect for all
scholars of Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, and Usul al-Fiqh
With a full-time job and three children, initially time management was a challenge now things are much easier especially with the help and support of our
respected teachers. The virtues and blessings of learning ilm are countless. I would urge everyone to join the course and experience the Barakah themselves.

This course has been a blessing for me from Allah. The teachers at ECIL have been very co-operative in listening to and accommodating people from diverse
backgrounds and situations. I have learned many things that I was unaware of and I am trying to bring them in my daily routine to earn the pleasure of Allah.
