ACADEMIC PROGRAM / GUIDED
TOURS:
This travel study program
primarily focuses on the rich Islamic history in Saudi Arabia. We will learn
about how Islam has grown from a minority of only one person to many in the land
of Arabia and beyond. We will also try to learn how Muslim communities have
functioned over the centuries. We will also explore the culture, food, dress,
art and architecture of old and new Saudi Arabia. Please note that this is not a
deen-intensive program. The focus is on Islamic history, Saudi culture
and society, relying on their living experiences.
There will be brief lectures and
discussions throughout the program. The main mode of learning, however, will be
daily visits to places and people. We will watch artisans engaged in making Kiswa
(Kaba cover), experience a visit to the most modern & biggest
printing press of Quran & of course visit the grounds of Badr & Uhud
and the heights of Mount An-Nur. We will also make an attempt to meet the Imams
of Masjid Al Haram in Makkah or Masjid Al Haram in Madinah & scholars at
various universities in Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah.
