Frequently Asked Questions

What language is the class taught in?

The classes are taught in English. Any Arabic terms will be explained clearly by the instructor.

Can I join the class without registering?

Foundations of Faith, unlike many of our other livestreams, is a closed class. It is delivered on Zoom. So you must be a registered student to join the class. It is completely free!

Are the classes recorded?

The zoom classes will be recorded and accessible for registered students to rewatch if they wish to revise.

Are there any fees associated with the course?

The course is free. The student will just need a good internet connection and a device such as a laptop or mobile to join the Zoom classroom. The course books can be purchased by students independently (they are all available on Amazon currently). Also, as a reminder, we will gift free books for any converts registered on the course.

Can I ask questions during the classes?

The classes will be interactive, and students will have opportunities to ask the teacher questions; especially in order to clarify anything covered in the class. We hope all of our classes across our syllabus are as accessible and clear as possible.

I’ve missed the start date, can I still join the course?

Yes you can still join the classes. We will work through the books from cover to cover, so you may have missed some information covered earlier in the book. However, this should not hamper you from still joining the classes as we have class recordings with which you can catch up on anything you have missed.
