scholars in Islam.

Opportunities for a formal Islamic education in a recognised institution which produces students of
knowledge, grounded in the principles of following The Qur’an and Sunnah, are few and far
between. Traditional institutes have a high barrier to entry, with only a few students being selected.
Thousands of potential scholars and students of knowledge miss out, often because they cannot
commit to spending several years in a foreign country, or because they do not fit a very narrow set
of criteria for acceptance.

Even for the few who manage to overcome these obstacles, the dilution of Islamic scholarship in the
21st Century is a painful yet undisputed reality. Feedback gathered from formally-educated students
of knowledge is increasingly alarming; Islamic knowledge is being watered down and we are no
longer producing the calibre of students dictated by the high standards of Islam. Today’s graduate
would struggle to sit in the same classroom as yesterday’s student. The result? Our students of
knowledge are unable to serve their communities in an effective manner.

These problems have had a knock-on impact on millions of Muslims across the world and have
directly contributed to the weakening of the Ummah. Something needs to change.

Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan


United Kingdom

Ustadh Abdulrahman is uniquely positioned as an individual who combines


the experience of traditional Islamic scholarship from the East, as well as the
knowledge and understanding of the West.

By the tender age of 10, Allah allowed him to memorise The Qur’an and
Buloogh Al Maraam – a book that contains more than 1,300 hadith. He then
went on to formally study Islam in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Somalia, before
returning to the UK as an Imaam and a da’ee. He has delivered hundreds of
hours of Islamic content on YouTube and has fast become a popular name
amongst the English-speaking Muslim audience.

Known for his ability to conduct detailed research across various different
Islamic issues, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan has the ability to push aspiring
students of knowledge to their limits and maximise their academic
ambitions.
AMAU FACULTY WWW.AMAUACADEMY.COM

Ustadh Muhammad
Tim Humble
United Kingdom
As a revert to Islam, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble completed all of his
formal Islamic studies as an adult, providing him with the necessary
experience to support new students who may have limited time available.
With Allah’s permission, he excelled in his pursuit of knowledge, most
notably graduating from the University of Madinah in Hadith and Islamic
Studies.

He is passionate about teaching the Arabic language – and has developed


his own courses and material for doing so – after having worked as a
professional translator for a number of major publishing companies.

He has also completed several hundred hours of TV recording for well-known


Islamic channels, and regularly delivers lectures in different parts of the
world.

The AMAU Syllabus


“We’ve been working on a comprehensive, well-structured syllabus,
relying on the decades of experience held by our Head of Islamic Studies”

The AMAU syllabus is thorough, making it the ultimate solution for serious students of knowledge looking to get closer to Allah. Get ready to learn
subjects that have never been taught before in the English language.

This is not a 1-year program, or a 5-year program, or a 10-year program. This is a life-long journey where we want to develop our students into the next
generation of scholars, with Allah’s permission.

We aim to take our students from an introduction into each of the different Islamic sciences, all the way to the tafseer of every ayah in The Qur’an, and
an explanation of every hadith in the six mother books of hadith. A complete journey from beginning to end, with the permission of Allah.
