Types of Islamic studies

The Two Holy Mosques — Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah — are not only the holiest sites of worship in Islam but also living centres of Islamic scholarship. Through daily halaqat (study circles) and structured academic institutes, Muslims of all backgrounds can study the Quran, classical texts, and core Islamic sciences directly under world-renowned scholars — many programs entirely free of charge.
