About the Advanced Arabic Madrasa

The Advanced Arabic Madrasa is a two-year course with the primary objective of taking students to a higher level of Arabic language. The course places greater focus on the rules of Arabic language, with students studying Nahw, Sarf and Balagha.

Students must be at a level where they can comfortably speak, understand and read Arabic. They will be strongly encouraged to have regular conversation sessions beyond the course.

Classes will be based around reading and explaining the books. Students will also be required to watch a series of classes centred around books such as Ulum Quran of Shaykh Buti and Shah Riyad Salihin.

Students will also be expected to act as Review Supervisors or Student Mentors for students on the Foundation Course.

Shaykh Mustafa Muhammad Salim

In 2010 Shaykh Mustafa left for the blessed lands of Tarim in order to seek sacred knowledge. For a year, he immersed himself in the study of Arabic. Guided by an unyielding desire to be closer to Allah's words, he then embarked upon memorising the noble Qur'ān.

Under the guidance of the venerable Habib Umar bin Hafiz, he undertook a remarkable 10- year program studying the Islamic sciences including Qur'ānic Tafseer, Shafi Jurisprudence, Hadith and Arabic Grammar.

After graduating in 2021, he went on to teach Qur'ānic Tafseer, Fiqh of Inheritance and the Arabic language at Dar al Mustafa. Whilst teaching at Dar al Mustafa, he studied the 7 modes of recitation with Sanad at Mahad al Aydarus Qur'ān school in Tarim.

Shaykh Mustafa is now back in the UK and has continued to spread the knowledge taken from the blessed lands of Tarim.
