An-Nour Institute is a commendable initiative led by scholars attuned to the conditions and needs of contemporary Muslims. It seeks to equip the Islamic world and Muslim communities in non-Islamic countries with one of the fundamental requirements for achieving the desired renaissance— true beneficial knowledge that extends its goodness to all people. By effectively utilizing modern techniques and resources, they left no excuse for a Muslim to lag behind in joining the pursuit of knowledge.

A. Alim Furkan Unal 🇳🇱

Sheikh & Islamic Community Head Uden, Netherlands
Researcher, Al Azhar University

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.
