THE CURRICULUM
Our curriculum provides a holistic approach to Islamic knowledge, practice, spirituality and Quranic recitation, guiding you towards a deeper understanding and connection with your faith.
AQIDA
One hour, once a week.
In the Aqeedah classes, we delve into the core principles of your faith. We base our teachings on the renowned matn, Aqeedah Tahawiyyah, authored by Imam Tahawi in the year 300 AH. This text distills the creed of the Salaf into an easily digestible format.
From understanding the nature of Allah and the role of the Prophet to concepts like the Day of Judgment and divine destiny, we address all the foundational questions. These classes fortify your understanding of the pillars of faith and equip you with the knowledge to tackle doubts and misconceptions head-on.
FIQH
In our Fiqh classes, we open the doors to all four madhahib (plural of madhab, school of thought), offering introductory texts for each. Our curriculum is based on the teachings of each madhab, giving you a well-rounded perspective on Islamic jurisprudence.
From the fundamentals of prayer and fasting (the pillars of Islam) to a systematic and simplified approach, we guide you through every aspect of your practice. All your questions find answers here and we openly discuss the differences of opinion within the madhahib.
TASAWWUF
One hour, once a week.
In our Tasawwuf classes, we explore spiritual purification. Each semester, we explore a book of Tasawwuf, perfect for anyone seeking to cleanse their heart and strengthen their connection with Allah ﷻ.
Our lectures encompass a wide range of topics, including knowledge, repentance (tawbah), sincerity, the rituals of prayer, solitude, invocation, abstinence, meditation, poverty and disciplining the ego. These sessions form the pillars of Ihsan, awakening the heart and helping you overcome the diseases of the heart.
TAJWID
One hour, once a week.
In our Tajweed course, we offer both theory and practical application.
Theory: Explore the articulation points of the Arabic letters, diving deep into the famous Poem "Tuhfatul Atfal." We dissect each line of the poem while explaining the rules of Tajweed. Like this, you'll gain a comprehensive understanding of Tajweed principles, insha’Allah.
Practice: Put theory into action with practical application. Read from the Qa’ida Nuraniyya and learn how to read the Quran with precision. We start with the basics and gradually delve into advanced Tajweed rules.
Each class is a vital component of your journey, carefully designed to enrich your knowledge, strengthen your practice, purify your heart and enhance your connection to the Quran.

“I can't express enough how beneficial Arkview has been for me & my family.
As a busy business owner with limited time, the flexibility to learn at my own pace was a game-changer. The course content was comprehensive and well-structured, making it easy to follow along and grasp the concepts all Fiqh, Aqedah, & Tassawuf."

“I came across Safina Society and Dr. Shadee’s NBF series during Ramadan ’22. Allah’s guidance when we are seeking knowledge is how I see it. Since then, I have subscribed to Arkviews Fiqh, Tasawwuf, Aqidah, Arabic and Tafsir classes. Not only have I learned something new every time I’m in class, I also feel inspired by Dr. Shadee to do something for the youth in my community and leave a legacy. I am also a supporter of Safina’s various worthy projects – all which make you feel like you have a family good companionship. I recommend joining this family and subscribing to Arkview if you too are struggling like I was last year.”

"MashaAllah, there are a few reasons I wanted to sign up to Arkview. With Arkview, I felt like there was a whole community. There was a level of comfort and love shared among the students and teachers, resulting in an ideal learning environment. It was also, mashaAllah, quite affordable, and that is always helpful, no matter a person's situation. And I also really appreciated the live classes. I personally learn well with live classes and that level of accountability is beneficial for me, alhamdulillah.
Thanks to Arkview, I am attending one of the best Maliki fiqh classes I have ever taken (and because of that class, doubts and worries are leaving my mind and heart), I am learning the language that Allah revealed the Quran with, I have access to the knowledge and guidance of shuyukh, ustadhs, and ustadhas, and I have the suhba of fellow students of knowledge. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alameen!"

"It's like I found the manual or handbook to life. I'm learning about the my Creator and what He wants from me; I'm learning about the Master of Creation (peace and blessings be upon him) and my duties towards him. Through Arkview, I'm learning from Scholars who are part of an established link tracing back to the beginning of revelation. My worship rests upon clear evidence from the greatest minds of the best nation. Life has become much more balanced and I feel a sense of ease and peace amidst the challenges of life. Learn your deen, folks. Learn. Your. Deen."

WHY SAFINA SOCIETY?
Safina Society was established to answer a pressing need: offering a flexible online program that caters to all Muslims who may not have the opportunity to travel overseas or access qualified local teachers.
WHAT DOES "SAFINA MEAN?
"Safina" translates to "ark." The significance lies in the Prophet's ﷺ description of the end times when “tribulations will surge upon believers like the waves of a raging sea” (Bukhari).
In another saying, he ﷺ likened his family to the ark of Noah, a vessel of safety. He further stated,
"Whoever gets on it is safe, and whoever does not, drowns. And my Companions are like the stars, whichever one you follow, you will be guided."
We believe in the power of Allah ﷻ and in coming together physically to study His Book and follow His Messenger's ﷺ example as a means of salvation during times of trials.
OUR BELIEF IN TOGETHERNESS
At Safina Society, we place a strong emphasis on togetherness. We view society as a collective of individuals sharing the same space, traditions, laws and ethics.
The lone sheep, as per a saying in Tirmidhi, is vulnerable alone, while together, we form an impenetrable fortress, with everyone supporting one another, as mentioned in Bukhari. The Quran also encourages unity:
"Hold fast to the rope of Allah, all of you together, and be not divided" (Aal Imran).
OUR VISION AND MISSION
Our vision is to revive traditional Islam within the hearts of the masses, reigniting the love for authentic Islamic teachings.
Our mission is to provide a balanced approach to the Deen, covering the four essential sciences, taught in a manner dating back centuries. We aim to do this while offering guidance and fostering a strong sense of community among our members.

YOUR INVITATION TO PARADISE
"Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise."
These teachings encompass the fundamental knowledge every individual is responsible for acquiring. It forms the core of how you live each day.
Often, we learn the basics of prayer as children and may not revisit them. Yet, every day, we risk our spiritual well-being—the essence of our existence—by not doing so. It's a timeless tradition; even great scholars review these fundamentals regularly or teach them yearly.
The reality is that formalized learning of these fundamentals has the power to transform your life. Praying in line with tradition will illuminate your heart with radiant doors of spiritual enlightenment, just like the other acts of worship. This understanding transcends words; it must be experienced.
