Community Leader (Imamate) Certification Programme
One of the pressing challenges facing Canadian Muslim communities today is the shortage of qualified, full-time imams to serve masjids and musallahs. Many institutions also face financial constraints that make hiring a full-time imam difficult, even when candidates are available. As a result, communities are often left without consistent spiritual leadership and struggle to meet their essential religious needs.
In response to this growing need, the Mathabah Learning Centre has developed the Community Leader (Imamate) Certification Programme. This programme is designed to equip qualified community members—specifically graduates of Level 1—with the foundational knowledge and practical skills required to effectively serve their local communities.
Participants will receive structured training in the following areas:
- Leading congregational prayers
- Delivering Friday (Jumu;ah) sermons and public addresses
- Conducting funeral services
- Providing guidance on the rulings of fasting and zakah
- Serving as a Marriage Officer and solemnizing marriages
- Advising on marriage and divorce-related matters
- Offering community-based counselling and pastoral support
Tafsir al-Qur’an Certification Programme
Many non-Arab Muslims aspire to develop a deeper understanding of the Qur’an and reflect upon its meanings; however, the perceived barrier of the Arabic language often prevents them from pursuing this noble goal. Access to the study and understanding of the Qur’an is a right of every Muslim, regardless of linguistic or cultural background.
In response to this need, the Mathabah Learning Centre has developed the Tafsir al-Qur’an Certification Programme. This programme is designed to provide Level 1 graduates with structured and accessible Qur’anic study in the English language, enabling them to engage directly with selected surahs of the Qur’an.
Participants will undertake a detailed study of selected chapters that address themes including core beliefs, prophetic narratives, and social ethics. Each verse will be examined individually, with attention given to:
- Classical interpretations (tafsir)
- Grammatical analysis
- Vocabulary and word choice
- Contextual insights
- Contemporary relevance and application
Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be awarded an Ijazah certificate, qualifying them as certified instructors of the surahs studied.
