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.

- The Arabic
courses and teachers are some of the best Ive taken in my whole life, and Ive 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
