PEDAGOGY
Studies at the Academy are conducted through the internet by means of web conferencing technology that allows for interaction between the students and scholars. This allows students to seek knowledge from the comfort of their home, thus facilitating the acquisition of the Sacred Sciences at a time and place suitable to them.
The founders of Cordoba Academy strongly believe that true Islamic understanding and scholarship does not come without a student’s exposure to, and preferably memorization of, classical Islamic texts (Mutoun).
For this reason, Cordoba Academy focuses its teaching on these traditional texts, with the following benefits:
- Classical texts have been authored by illustrious, erudite scholars and leading experts in their field of knowledge. Muslim scholars of both past and present are unanimous in accepting these texts as primary sources of information in their respective fields.
- They provide an abundance of knowledge in a scarcity of words. This means that your precious time is used more effectively and efficiently.
- You are consistently exposed to Classical Arabic within context, so your persistent listening and reading over time will help you to improve your comprehension and fluency.
- Every text is a milestone on the path of knowledge, so every time you complete a text, you feel a great sense of achievement that is uncommon in other modes of learning.
- Upon successful completion of the text, you inherit an authentic Ijazah linking you to some of the greatest scholars in the Islamic Sciences.



Arguably the most indispensable collection of Hadith related to the Prophet’s (salalahu alayhi wa salam) blessed biography. It was compiled by the eminent Muhaddith, Imam al-Tirmidhi less than 3 centuries after the passing away of the Prophet Mohammed (salalahu alayhi wa salam).
This is the fundamental primer in the Science of Mustalah al-Hadith (Hadith Classification) having been authored by arguably the foremost authority in Mustalah al-Hadith, the illustrious al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr al-Asqalaani (RA)
The Muwatta of Imam Malik is a collection of over 1900 Prophetic sayings (ahadith) as well as the legal standpoints of his companions (Sahabah), their students (Tabi'een) and practices of the Madinan People.
