Islamic Sciences Curriculum (ISC)
At Ta’leef Collective, great emphasis is placed on the study of Islam’s sacred sciences, translated into an accessible and relevant language. The ISC is a means of educating new Muslims, re-engaging our youth, and raising the standard of the general community by providing regular classes and weekend workshops. Founded upon the three dimensions of our tradition: Islam, Iman, and Ihsan, the curriculum is holistic, germane and enriching. Our past and upcoming classes and workshops include the following:

The ISC begins with quarterly classes on three of the four schools of sacred law: Hanafi, Shafi, and Maliki fiqh.

Ta’leef Collective’s weekend workshops have included “Prophet Muhammad In the Bible,” an examination of various prophecies recorded in the Hebrew Bible as well as in the New Testament and how these expectations were fulfilled by our Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace be upon him). Ta’leef Collective also hosted “Creativity and the Creator,” a workshop intended to bring understanding and balance to the often controversial subject of entertainment, culture and creativity in the Islamic worldview. The organization also implemented its “Khutba Training”, whereby a group of young Muslim brothers were trained to lead communal Friday prayers in their high schools and tooled with the knowledge and public speaking skills necessary to give a Friday Khutba (sermon), as a method of engaging their peers.
