Educational courses in Jamia fall into two categories:
â?¢ Permanent courses
â?¢ Non-permanent courses
Permanent courses:-
They persist throughout the educational year (lasting from Shawwal to Rajab).
1. Nazra-wa-Hifzay Quran Majeed: -
There are eight groups of Nazra and Hifzay Quran (Reading
from text and memorization of the holy Quran) which run under the supervision of
ten teachers. One teacher has 25 to 30 students in his group. Almost 250
students are enrolled in memorization of the Holy Book.
2. Dars-e-Nizami:-
Dars-e-Nizami is the basis of the syllabus of almost all
religious seminaries of Indo-Pakistan. This system provides for the same basic
books of knowledge and skills which were part of the old Dars-e-Nizami.
Circumstances and temporal challenges, however, necessitate improvement and
amendments. Almost 60 books of this syllabus of Dars-e-Nizami including Sarf,
Nahw, Meaning, Rhetoric, Literature, Logic, Philosophy, Jurisprudence,
Principles of Jurisprudence, Interpretation, Hadith and Principles of Hadith are
part of the instruction in most of the religious seminaries. Jamia has
introduced some useful and modern changes in the syllabus, incorporating some
other skills which were earlier not part of the syllabus. Dars-e-Nizami has 6
stages (Mutawasta, Ama, Khasa, Aliya, Aalmiya, Thakhasus) spanning over a period
of 15 years. Mutawasta Stage: - This stage is spread over 5 years and admissions
are given to primary passes students. This stage contains Islamiats, Persian,
Seerat (Biography of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Islamic history and education up to
class 10th. Last two years (9th & 10th) exams are conducted through Secondary
Board Karachi and for these arrangements are made by Jamiaâ??s Alberuni Model
secondary school. Apart from this stage, all other stages consist of 2 years.
Dars-e-Nizami with some amendments is taught in all these stages.
3. Mahadul Lughatul Arabia:-
Usually students of Dars-e-Nizami are not au fait with spoken
and written Arabic. To awaken an urge in students for spoken and written Arabic,
Mahadul Lughatul Arabia has been mapped out wherein all lessons are imparted in
Arabic. Students of Mahad interact in Arabic with other students and teachers.
Although Mahad, on the whole, falls under the general Education system, yet
Mahad has a system of its own in studentsâ?? education and examination.
Announcements, Rules & Regulation, examination result and studentsâ?? forms are
all written in Arabic. Mahadâ??s syllabus, apart from the registered syllabus of
Wafaq, consists of History, Geography, Situation of present Muslim world, Alghaz
wal Fikri and one hour English.
4. Kulya-tul-Takhasus:-
Jamia-tur-Rasheed has launched five divergent 1 year
specialization programmes to enable the graduates of religious seminaries to
better serve the cause of Islam. The primary objective of these specialization
programes is to coach these graduates in the context of present challenges, in
Fatwa, expression, composition and Daâ??wa. These specialization programmers,
