Why Fawakih?

Why you'll love Fawakih

Because Arabic...

 No longer does one have to travel abroad to gain a strong foundation in Arabic.

 "Fawakih brought to life a love for Arabic from within me that I never saw before. This program encouraged me to seek knowledge far and near this beautiful language and religion" - Noor Haydar Flint, MI

...and Islamic Studies


No longer does one have to study Arabic without the understanding of Islam that we seek.

"Fawakih has opened my eyes to the wealth of knowledge I have yet to learn. I am amazed at how much I have learned in such a short amount of time. The people I have met here and the program itself have inspired me to always challenge myself and strive to gain knowledge throughout my life." - Huma Razzaq 

...and guidance

No longer does one have to feel at a loss as to what to do with the tools of sacred knowledge.

Student Testimonials 

The real fruits of our program are the students! If you would like to talk further with a Fawakih alum about their experiences, please contact us.

  • “The Arabic courses and teachers are some of the best I’ve taken in my whole life, and I’ve taken a lot.” - Hafiz M.S. Yacoob Herndon, VA
  • "Fawakih 2009 has only sharpened my appetite for the challenges and rewards of learning Quranic language. As a second year alumna, I appreciate and enjoyed the consistency and quality in our guest lecturers and our sarf (Arabic morphology) teachers. My only complaint is the brevity of the class; I could stay all summer. This year has seen a great caliber of students join the program, and I loved learning and socializing with such engaging, considerate, and bright sisters. As a local(ish) student, I'm happy Fawakih is here as a serious option for religious Arabic study. I can't wait to return next year." Marisa Stroud Cincinnati, OH
  • "Fawakih's outdoor activities were a big highlight of the program.  I think this aspect was really important for students to get to know each other outside the realm of academics." -Mariam  Cambridge, MA
