Islamic Studies Classes for New Muslims

New Muslims often face a unique challenge: navigating Islamic knowledge without the foundation most born-Muslims receive in childhood. Buruj Academy’s Islamic Studies Classes for New Muslims address this gap by teaching core beliefs, worship practices, and prophetic guidance in clear English, without assuming prior knowledge or cultural familiarity with Islamic concepts.

Buruj Academy recognizes that converts need more than information—they need context. Most Islamic studies programs assume students already understand the “why” behind rituals or the structure of Islamic scholarship. New Muslims don’t. Buruj Academy’s instructors explain the reasoning behind rulings, the historical context of practices, and the spiritual objectives of worship, making Islamic knowledge accessible rather than overwhelming.

Overview of Buruj Academy’s Islamic Studies for New Muslims

Buruj Academy’s Islamic Course for New Muslims is a structured program designed specifically for converts and recent reverts who need to learn Islam from the beginning.

The course builds knowledge systematically, ensuring students understand the foundations before advancing to complex rulings.

Course Outcomes

What New Muslims Learn in Buruj Academy's Islamic Education for Converts?

New Muslims progress through Buruj Academy's Islamic Studies Classes by learning core Islamic teachings in a logical sequence. The curriculum prioritizes immediate practical needs—daily worship, essential beliefs—before expanding to deeper theological and jurisprudential topics.

The Five Pillars of Islam and Their Practical Application for Converts

The curriculum covers the Five Pillars—Shahadah, Salah, Zakat, fasting, and Hajj—with emphasis on correct practice. Buruj Academy’s instructors teach Salah step-by-step, from Wudu to Tashahhud, using visual demonstrations and repetition until students can pray independently. Fiqh lessons address practical questions: What breaks Wudu? How to make up missed fasts? When is Zakat due? The focus is always application, not just theory.

Core Islamic Beliefs and the Six Pillars of Iman for New Muslims

Students begin with Aqeedah, learning the six pillars of faith: belief in Allah, angels, divine books, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and Qadr (divine decree). Buruj Academy’s instructors explain each pillar using Quranic evidence and prophetic narrations, clarifying common misconceptions new Muslims encounter. Lessons distinguish between sound Islamic creed and cultural innovations, ensuring students build their faith on authentic sources.

Prophetic Biography and the Foundations of Islamic Character

Students study the Seerah chronologically, learning how the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ received revelation, faced persecution, migrated to Madinah, and established the first Muslim community. Buruj Academy’s curriculum emphasizes the Prophet’s character—his patience, mercy, honesty, and humility—as a model for new Muslims navigating their own challenges. Each lesson connects Seerah events to practical lessons about faith, perseverance, and moral conduct.

Essential Quranic Teachings and Daily Supplications

New Muslims learn key Quranic Surahs for daily use: Al-Fatihah, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas, and short Surahs for Salah. Buruj Academy’s instructors teach pronunciation, meaning, and context, ensuring students understand what they recite. The curriculum also covers essential supplications—morning and evening Adhkar, dua for travel, eating, sleeping—so students integrate Islamic practice into every part of their day. Memorization is gradual, never rushed.

Buruj Academy's instructors present Seerah as more than biography—lessons highlight how the Prophet's patience, leadership, and compassion apply to modern challenges. New Muslims see how to embody prophetic character in their own lives.

New Muslims Build a Foundation for Lifelong Islamic Learning

Students leave Buruj Academy's Islamic Studies Classes with the tools to continue learning independently: how to read Tafsir, verify Hadith authenticity, and seek knowledge from reliable scholars. Buruj Academy doesn't just teach information—it teaches how to learn.
