Ihya’s Alim Program is our seven years full-time onsite intensive Islamic Scholarship program covering different sciences of the Islamic shariah. It follows a clear systematic syllabus to produce competent researchers, thinkers, scholars, and academics. The program entails intensive study of the Arabic Language, Logic, Kalam/Aqeedah, History, Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh, Tafseer and Usul al-Tafseer, and Usul al-Hadith. In the last year of the program, the students will only study the classical books of hadith with a continuous chain going back to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Taught by qualified scholars

Maulana
Yasar Khan

Despite a bright future ahead of him in secular studies, including a dual Master’s degree by the age of twenty-one, and numerous scholarships from prestigious universities, he sacrificed everything to pursue Islamic Studies. He enrolled in Jamia Al-Husnain, Indianapolis, and studied Arabic, Literature, Hadith, Tafsir, Islamic Theology, Jurisprudence, etc. He then completed his studies at Darus-Salam Seminary, Chicago, where he studied the six major books of Hadith under renowned scholars.

Maulana
ISMAAEL IQBAL

After graduating, He moved to Centerville, Ohio, where he served as an instructor at Falah ud Darain and taught subjects such as Arabic grammar, Arabic Literature, Spoken Arabic, Fiqh, and Hadith. After two years, he decided to move back to his hometown of Arlington, Texas, and help establish Ihya Foundation. He is currently an instructor at Ihya Institute.

Maulana
IBRAHIM RAQEEB

Maulana Ibrahim developed the desire to bring Islam to the American society and wanted to fulfill the dream of his father (who passed away رحمه الله ) so he enrolled in Jamia Hasanain in Indiana where he studied the Alamiyyah program for five years. He completed courses in Arabic, Quranic sciences, jurisprudence and more then went on to pursue further education in Pakistan where he enrolled in Jamiatul Hasanain in Faisalabad and completed the six books of Ahadith under the great scholars, Maulana Tariq Jameel, Maulana Ubaidullah and Sheikh Ramzi.
