WISE University
ḤANAF̄I & SHĀFI‘Ī ENGLISH BA PROGRAM
The WISE BA program in Hanafi and Shafi‘i Fiqh is a first-of-its-kind opportunity to learn the Islamic sciences in the classical manner, but entirely in English. Both these degrees are accredited by Jordan’s Ministry of Education and are an excellent opportunity to build a solid foundation in the Islamic sciences. In addition, these accredited degrees allow a student, if they wish, to further their pursuit of knowledge at the graduate level, either at WISE, or any number of the great centers of Islamic learning throughout the world.
Both the Hanafi and Shafi‘i BA programs follow a traditional, accepted course of study building on the uṣūlī tradition of Sunni Islam that couples a deep dive into first principles with orthodox belief as codified in both the Ash‘arī and Māturīdī schools of theology.
The BA programs are meant for anyone whose primary language is English and allows students to study at their own pace.
It is my privilege to oversee this entire program as well as serve as the main instructor for the Shāfī‘ī BA program.
