I wanted to inform you all and announce our Orientation Event which is scheduled for Today, December 28th (Tomorrow) at 9pm Makkah. The purpose of conducting this orientation event is to give students the goal behind the course with advice and tips on how to get the most out of The Arabic Conversational Course during this study period. Additionally, for the new students who are joining us for the first time, this will be a great opportunity to be able to hear from their peers who have been studying with us from Cohort 1 and 2; to benefit from their experiences, and hear any lessons they learned. We’ll also discuss what you can expect the average week would look like, from the Live Lectures to Workshops. Furthermore, the guidelines and procedures will also be discussed…. Although the orientation event was designed for students who are registered during this Cohort, we welcome all members of this channel. If you were interested in joining us in this cohort but were unable to attend or if you plan on joining in the future, you would benefit from attending this event. Link to Register

As-Salaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu I hope this message reaches you all in the best state of Emaan and Health. I wanted to start off by apologizing for being offline and not posting updates for the past couple of days. The team and I were completely swamped with reviewing all the scholarship applications and processing enrollment. Alhamdulillah, we have contacted all the students who have applied for the scholarship. Congratulations to those of you who got accepted and for those who did not receive a scholarship, we encourage you to reapply for the available scholarships during Cohort 4. As well, we would like to express our gratitude and say a special thank you to those who were kind enough to fund a full scholarship for some students, enabling us to increase the number of seats for scholarship recipients and assist those wanted to learn this beautiful language but lacked the means. May Allaah reward them with good in this life and in the Hereafter. Lastly, we have reached capacity for the number of available seats for this cohort and we are not taking any more students at this time. However, there is a chance that current students may withdraw or fail to secure their seats. If you’d like to be put on the “Interested List” please email us [email protected] send us a message via the support bot @binabdilwali_bot and we will update you if there are any seats that become available as soon as possible. Finally, Going forward all of the sessions will live streamed on youtube and we will post the links on the channel along with other beneficial content. So even if you could not make it to join the live cohort, stick around inshaa Allaah for benefits and free content.
