What online Hadith learning involves
For each hadith, your teacher reads the text with you, names the collection it comes from, explains its meaning and context, and discusses how it relates to everyday life. Over time you also learn why scholars examine chains of narrators and how narrations are graded.
Basic terms you will meet
These terms come up from the first lessons:
| Term | Arabic | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Hadith | حَدِيث | A report of what the Prophet said, did or approved |
| Sunnah | سُنَّة | The Prophet's example and way, known largely through hadith |
| Isnad | إِسْنَاد | The chain of narrators who passed the report on |
| Matn | مَتْن | The text of the report itself |
| Sahih | صَحِيح | Authentic: meets the scholars' strictest conditions |
| Hasan | حَسَن | Good: acceptable, slightly below sahih |
| Da'if | ضَعِيف | Weak: does not meet the conditions for acceptance |
Our level and source approach
Lessons focus on understanding selected authentic hadith from recognized collections, chosen to suit your level. Teachers take care to distinguish authentic narrations from weak or fabricated ones and tell you the source of each hadith studied.
The lessons do not grade hadith independently, award an Ijazah in hadith or replace advanced study of the hadith sciences.
Lessons are educational. Teachers explain what the texts say and how they are commonly understood, but they do not issue fatwas (religious rulings) on personal situations and do not present themselves as muftis. For a ruling that concerns you personally, consult a qualified scholar you trust.
Who it is for
Muslims and new Muslims who want to understand the Sunnah, and adult learners who want trustworthy explanations in a language they understand. Older children can join with a parent's agreement.
How lessons are arranged
Lessons are live, one-to-one 60-minute video lessons taught online from Morocco by Moroccan teachers. There is no local branch: you learn from home, and lesson times are agreed with the academy on WhatsApp according to your time zone and teacher availability.
Explanations can be given in English, French, Spanish or Arabic. Not every teacher speaks every one of these languages, so the academy confirms a teacher who explains in your preferred language before the first lesson.
