Can we download the lectures and notes?

The lectures are copyrighted materials. However, the lecture notes are downloadable for eHawza students only.

Is eHawza accredited or affiliated with any university?

eHawza is a private and an independent Islamic college and is not affiliated and hence not accredited by any university. However, our main lecturer; Sh Mansour Leghaei is a well-qualified scholar who is accredited by some of our renowned Maraje’h such as the Late Ayatullah Golpayegani, the Late Ayatullah Jawad Tabrizi, Ayatullah Naser Makarim Shirazi and Ayatullah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

How do the exams work?

Upon completing each course you should inform eHawza Admin that you are ready to sit for the exam. All arrangements will be made. Most examinations are in Multiple Choice format with occasional written answers required. Some courses require assignments to be completed and submitted before the examination as they are part of your examination marks.

Taking a break within your allowed time frame is permitted. If you require a break that exceeds your limited time frame you should discuss it with our Admin.

Graduates of our Diploma Course are entitled to be Islamic Studies Teachers in Schools as well as public speakers. A graduate of our B.A. is qualified to serve as a resident ‘Alim commencing with a two-year provisional license. Traditionally Hawza students who finish ‘Sharh Lum’ah’ or its equivalence are qualified to wear a turban if they so wish. The graduates of eHawza B.A. have fulfilled this requirement and hence are qualified to wear a turban.

Yes. you surely do. However, candidates for our Bachelor who have not completed our Diploma Course are required to sit for an entry exam.

What If I start the first semester & change my mind and do not wish to continue my studies any further, can I change my mind?

Taking up and committing to Islamic Studies is a big step. eHawza recommends to initially do our online single courses to help you make your decision. It is your preference to cease your studies, however, refunds are only available within the first two weeks after commencement.

How many hours per week am I looking at to complete the Diploma course in 36 months?

eHawza ideally recommends 5-7 hours per week for Diploma Semesters 1 and 2. An increase in hours is recommended for Semesters 3 and 4 as they require more study time due to more in-depth topics.

If I have previously done certain Islamic studies, can I get an exemption?

As long as you pass the examination of any course you will be exempt from sitting for that course as well as paying for the course. However, a minimum fee for administration and the examination is applicable. eHawza wishes to recommend all students to do all the modules as most of them are unique in their style.

Will I receive any textbooks?

All the Diploma material will be provided to you online with the exception of a textbook for the Arabic courses in semesters 3 and 4 which can be purchased online.

Do I need to have a good knowledge of Arabic to pursue this course?

Having any knowledge of Arabic is a plus although eHawza Diploma is designed to cater for students with absolutely no Arabic background or knowledge. Within the Diploma you will learn Quranic Arabic as well as sufficient Arabic Grammar. We must, however, note that students with no Arabic background may still need a private tutor to pass eHawza Arabic grammar courses.
