In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

ShareDeen is pleased to announce Islamic Online University scholarships for B.A Islamic Studies course

IOU BAIS Course

     From the 1st of April, 2010 the Islamic Online University (IOU) launched the world’s first tuition-free, Bachelor of Arts in Islamic Studies in English completely online. This is seen as a major new step towards helping Muslims across the globe fulfill the Prophet’s command to seek knowledge of the religion and correct their understanding of its tenets.

     The program has recorded audio and video lectures and weekly live tutorial classes in a virtual classroom setting on the net and its syllabus is based on the BA in Usool ud-Deen (Religious Foundations) curriculums of Madeenah University, Saudi Arabia, Omdurman Islamic University, Sudan, Al-Azhar in Egypt and other similar reputable Islamic institutions. Six subjects are offered each semester. Each semester is 5 months, having an online mid-term exam after two and a half months and a supervised final online at the end of the fifth month. Students are free to access their classes whenever it is convenient for them, however assignments have to be turned in and exams (mid-term and finals) have to be taken at fixed times.

     There are no fees for the courses. However, there is a fixed symbolic registration fee and examination fee each semester which is calculated on a sliding scale (from $20 to $60) depending on the student’s country of residence.

Poetry: CALL FROM IOU

CALL FROM IOU 

By Firdaus Fathima

 

In the bygone days of 1947, to Christian parents in Jamaica
A child named "Dennis Bradley Philips" was born with the "fitrah"
He was told that God had a son - And Jesus was his saviour,
His ancestry leads to a grandfather, who was a Bible scholar

He was supposed to be the inheritor of the deviated clan
But his CREATOR was the Most Merficiful, Who had a different plan
Days turned into years and this young man who once loved the guitar
Was not satisfied with the life he was living, for it was not truly up to par

He began to look for truth, in the way which is every soul's duty
His eyes were cooled with its essence, his heart was cleansed with its purity
The words of his Creator gave him advice, the Seerah gave him peace
At the age of 24 he embraced Islaam, and thereby defeated Iblees!

He thanked the Almighty for guiding him, for saving him from the fall
It was Allaah who had guided him in the journey from Dennis to Bilal
His love for knowledge made him study more and more
And he gained wisdom and degrees in his endeavor

His faith in Allaah kept him strong, he had ups and downs all the way
He was accused, he was blasphemed - but it did not lead him astray
With subtle words he answered every critic, he proved his points
That one can't mislead the one whom for righteousness Allaah appoints!

With the true teachings of Islaam, he wanted to educate the ummah
To please Allaah alone, Who would add to his pleasures of Jannah
This gave birth to a place of learning on the internet - a human invention
Praise be to Allaah, Who has given such skills to man - the best of HIS Creation!

The knowledge of deen imparted through the best of instructors
The devoted tutorial assistants with a surplus of parameters
The atmosphere so relaxing that it rejuvenates the soul
The most affordable of its kind, costing negligible on the whole

A source of knowledge for anybody from anywhere
Covering the globe slowly, reaching everywhere
The comfort of the family is no more to be sacrificed
Sitting inside the house is where you are Islamicized!

Stroke by stroke, like ABCs, you are taught the Arabic alphabet
In no time you will learn the language of Qur'an, if you are dedicated
From the basics of Islaam to the mastering of its sciences
There is a team of experts monitoring all advances

Brothers, learn here that the best of you is the one best to his family
Sisters, learn how liberated you are by preserving your modesty
Irrespective of your religion, your nation, your creed
You are welcome to join it, pay some serious heed!

Parents who want to guide your children to the path to Jannah
Spouses who want to walk hand in hand towards Jannah
For every Muslim who wants to succeed in pleasing Allaah
This place is for everyone who wants to know WHO IS ALLAAH!

Every student of this institution has a silent prayer in the heart
May Allaah bless the founder and every supporter for this start
May Allaah make it a source of knowledge which pleases Him
May Allaah make it a source of purification of what displeases Him

Come, join the family of Muslims who are learning at this place
Its existence and its success is due to Allaah's Mercy and His Grace
The symbol of Universal brotherhood - a unity in diversity
Spreading its wings all over the globe - Islamic Online University!
