Pioneering a Smarter More Affordable More Holistic More Convenient Islamic Education
Introducing the Flexible 4-Block Model
Assalamu Alaykum,
Due to popular demand and the successful launch of the Arafura Alimiyyah & Humanities program, the Arafura Institute has decided to open entries for the month of November – February.
Thanks to the newly improved Arafura academic calendar, which now consists of 4-blocks of studying, students are now able to further customize and balance their studies with their everyday work or full-time university studies.
New students will have the option to study on-demand modules in both the summer and winter breaks, making it possible for students to enrol into our Alimiyyah course and join our popular live classes at more entry points in the year.
Further, this new model also allows students to spread out the study of subjects throughout the year, for example, you may choose to focus on 2 subjects through the summer and winter and 4 during the teaching periods allowing for greater flexibility ultimately creating less of a burden on your day to day life and occupation.

Is Evolution Compatible with Islam?
Religion and evolutionary scientists are forever at each other’s throats, fighting a war that may very well be decided by the survival of the fittest. For some religious folk, the scientific theory will and should die out, just like any other weak theory of the past, for the evolutionists, the outdated religious creationist ideas cannot survive in the face of a bigger game – modern science and what seems to be, in their view, common sense.
The Classifications of Rulings in the Hanafi Madhab
A Hukm (ruling) Shar’i or a Sharia ruling is established via ‘a communication from the Law Giver (Allah, through His Messenger)’ (Taftzani: At-Talweeh, p.40). There are two aspects to the Hukm Shar’i. When communication is made from Allah or His Prophet SAW in the form of a demand (whether this be a demand to compulsorily or optionally do something or to compulsorily or optionally refrain from something) the Hukm is called ‘Al-Hukm Al-Taklifi’ (defining law or primary law).
2024 – The Year of the Pro-Palestine Protest Vote?
To enhance the power of your vote, you need to be a high-propensity, high-information voter, that is disciplined when it comes to your policy agenda. As the pro-Palestine protest vote shows, even electoral mechanisms that tend to produce a two-party system can be overcome.
