"The acquisition of knowledge is compulsory for every Muslim,( whether male or female.)"
- Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74
Islamic schools are well placed all over South Africa as well as Madressahs. Some institutions offer short courses on Islamic teaching, while Islamic Law and Islamic finance studies are also available. Qu’ran Study groups are common and Arabic studies are available through private tutoring, or universities such as Wits University and University of the Western Cape.
South Africa has also been bestowed with numerous Darul Ulooms (institutes for higher Islamic learning). These institutes attract students from around the world. One salient feature of the Darul Ulooms is that it teaches Islam in its pristine purity.
