Certificate In Islamic Studies

Our Certificate in Islamic Studies is a two-year, part-time programme in English and Malay, designed to make structured Islamic learning more accessible for adults with work, family, and other commitments.

We keep our classes small, with around 10 students per intake, so there is more room for interaction, questions, and personal guidance.

Classes are delivered by our teaching faculty, with the programme spearheaded by our founder, Ustaz Mazri Masripan. Lessons are conducted in both Malay and English, with three ways to learn: attend classes in person at our centre, join the same lesson live via Zoom, or catch up afterwards through a class recording if you cannot attend.

These options give you the flexibility to choose how you learn from week to week while continuing your studies around work, family, and other commitments.

The core difference between a Certificate and a Diploma in Islamic Studies lies in deeper methodological analysis, depth, duration, and outcome.

Living in fast-paced Singapore brings unique challenges. Structured Islamic classes offer the deep, practical clarity that short online videos simply can’t match

Our Certificate in Islamic Studies is designed for beginners and learners aged 16 and above who want to build a stronger foundation in Islamic knowledge.

It is especially suitable for working adults and professionals who want to study while managing their careers, family, and other commitments. It is also a good fit if you are reconnecting with your Deen, returning to Islamic learning after a long break, or starting a more structured journey in Islamic studies for the first time.

As a part-time, two-year programme, the Certificate gives you time to build your knowledge gradually, strengthen your understanding of the Deen, and prepare for further Islamic studies.

Prior proficiency in Quranic recitation is not required—the programme welcomes learners at all stages of their journey.

No, our Certificate In Islamic Studies is a foundatrional program.

Study Islamic Studies In Person or Online

Our classes run weekly on Sunday from 10:00am to 1:00pm, giving you a consistent three-hour study session each week. You can attend in person at our centre, join the lesson live via Zoom, or request a recording if you are unable to make a session.

This flexible format of learning Islam makes it easier to continue your Islamic studies while balancing work, family, and other commitments. Lessons are conducted in both Malay and English.

 How Many Intakes Are There Each Year?

You do not have to wait for one fixed annual intake to begin your studies. We open a new intake at the start of each module, giving you more opportunities throughout the year to begin the Certificate when the timing is right for you.

This rolling intake approach makes it easier to start your Islamic learning journey without having to wait until the following academic year.

When Can You Join the Certificate Programme?

As our intake is structured around the beginning of each module, the best time to join is when a new module is about to start. Contact our team to check the next available entry point and find out where you can begin in the programme.

If you are not sure whether the Certificate is right for you, you can also join a trial class first. This gives you a chance to experience the teaching style and class environment before deciding whether to enrol.
