Frequently Asked Questions

That’s great! If you already have a background in early Islamic history, you don’t have to start from the beginning. We offer a free placement assessment to help determine the best starting point based on your current knowledge. Many students begin directly from Level 2 or Level 3, where we go deeper into the development of Islamic civilization, key historical events, and significant figures beyond the Prophet’s era. This ensures that you’re both challenged and engaged — without repeating material you’ve already mastered.

Absolutely. One of the strengths of this course is how it connects the past to the present. In Level 4, we explore the modern Muslim world, including the effects of colonialism, the rise and fall of empires, and how these events shaped today’s political and cultural realities. By understanding the historical roots of current events, students gain a more informed, balanced, and critical perspective — especially valuable in a world where headlines often lack context. Whether you’re a teen, university student, or adult, this course equips you to navigate modern issues through a deeper historical lens.

Yes, but nothing stressful! We include simple quizzes, short reflection prompts, and interactive activities throughout the course to help students review and retain what they’ve learned. These are designed to be engaging and low-pressure, reinforcing understanding rather than testing for grades. For younger students, this may involve visual timelines or fun fact-matching exercises. For older students, there may be discussion-based reflections or brief written assignments. These tools help track progress and ensure that students are confidently absorbing key historical lessons.

Yes, you can join the course with no Arabic knowledge at all. All lessons are taught in clear, easy-to-understand English, and any important Arabic terms (such as names, events, or key Islamic concepts) are introduced gradually, always with thorough explanations and pronunciation support. You’ll never feel lost or overwhelmed — the focus is on understanding the story and lessons of history, not on mastering a new language. That said, you’ll naturally become familiar with some core Arabic terms through consistent exposure, which is a bonus!

Yes, definitely! We offer custom family packages for parents who want to enroll multiple children — whether they’re close in age or at different levels. Our team can arrange for shared or individual classes, depending on your children’s ages, attention spans, and learning needs. We also provide sibling discounts and bundled pricing, making it more affordable and flexible for families. During your evaluation, just let us know how many children you’d like to enroll and we’ll recommend the best setup to support your family’s educational journey.
