Proficiency in classical Arabic is a fundamental prerequisite for attaining expertise in Islamic sciences. Similarly, unfamiliarity with contemporary Arabic or the inability to use it proficiently hinders valuable learning. Teaching a balanced program while equally emphasizing listening, speaking, reading and writing through Al-Azhar PhD holders from various Arab countries is truly a unique endeavor. The option to learn through both live and recorded courses adds an unprecedented dimension to it.
