Classical Islamic Learning Online 2012-13
Classical Islamic Learning (CIL) is designed to introduce women to the classical methodology of Islamic knowledge and scholarship through a modern educational approach. The philosophy of the course is distinct in its embrace of the entire academic tradition of the Ahl-al Sunnah wal-Jama’a with respect for all scholars of Tafsir, Hadith, Fiqh, and Usul al-fiqh. Moreover, CIL highlights the importance of spiritual purification (tazkiya) and inner reform (islah).
CIL Online takes one new batch each year. Prospective students can download an academic calendar for exact registration dates, examination schedule, holidays, and other happenings. Click here to download a student information booklet.

Pre-requisites:
* Understanding, reading, and writing comfortably in Urdu and English.

* Using a computer, internet, and basic hardware such as headphones and microphone
* Ability to correspond comfortably via email

STUDY CIRCLES:
Study Circles encourage students to meet up with one another and the teachers to develop social dynamics essential for any learning group. They are a means to enhance spiritual development alongside the academic progress which is ensured in online classes. Please read below for more:
* Regular study circles take place in three major cities of Pakistan (Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad). The frequency of these circles is usually once or twice per month.
The agenda of each monthly circle is communicated in advance to the students. Usually, one academic class coupled with a spiritual gathering and refreshments is a general agenda; however, it may vary according to teachers’ preferences and the Study Circles Coordination Team.
* If some students cannot make it to the study groups (usually the ones living outside Pakistan) then they are required to carry out an alternate activity online or offline. This activity is subjective to students’ interests and can vary from writing a poem on the student blog to sharing different skills one may have.
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)
LMS is a Moodle based Learning Management System. It is designed to provide a dynamic
interaction between the students and teachers. Main features of LMS are:
* Program notice board for latest news and updates

* Online calendar for events

Salaam dear sisters,
Hope you all are doing well, ameen. I had a question about CIL, do we have to be in Pakistan to take the final exam insha Allah or could it be taken online?
Jazaak i Allah
Walaikum us Salam Dear Sana,
In order to proceed to the next level in CIL ONLINE, appearing in and clearing a final exam is mandatory and yes it can be taken online. But for students who are already residing in Pakistan or can make it to Pakistan by the final exam due date, are supposed to take the exam at the designated exam center.
