The Madinah Arabic Course (Beginner Level – Women Only)

This introductory course was offered for women with little to no prior knowledge of Arabic, using the new edition for beginners of the renowned Madinah Arabic series. Taught for the first time in Australia, the course provided a strong foundation for students to start the intermediate-level course of Classical Arabic (Fusha) and was ideal for non-native speakers. Held weekly at Masjid Al-Salam (Marsden, QLD), it ran from 26th Muharram 1446H ( 1 August 2024) and concluded on 26th Shawwal 1446H (24 April 2025). The program was offered completely free of charge as part of Markaz Sunnah’s commitment to accessible Islamic education.

The Madinah Arabic Course (Intermediate Level – Women Only)

This ongoing course builds on foundational Arabic knowledge using the new edition of the renowned Madinah Arabic series. With a strong focus on developing practical conversational skills in Classical Arabic (Fusha), this course is ideal for women who have completed a beginner's course or already have a basic understanding of Arabic. Held weekly on Thursdays from 9:30 am to 11:30 am at Masjid Al-Salam (Marsden, QLD), the course is taught free of charge and aims to help students engage confidently with Islamic texts and daily Arabic dialogue.

Upcoming Scholarly Visit – Shaykh Abdul Majeed Al-Asmari (Safar 1447H / August 2025)

Markaz Sunnah is honoured to host Shaykh Abdul Majeed bin Hamid Al-Asmari from Saudi Arabia for a 10-day visit to Brisbane. A recognised dā‘ī and experienced educator with over 15 years of teaching under the Ministry of Education, the Shaykh is well known for his clarity in teaching ʿAqīdah, Fiqh, and Akhlāq. Having studied under senior scholars such as Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān and Shaykh al-Luhaydan, the Shaykh brings a wealth of authentic knowledge rooted in the understanding of the Salaf. This visit will include public lectures, classes, and beneficial gatherings for the community, in shā’ Allāh.

Upcoming Scholar Visit – Shaykh Zulfiker Al-Memon (Date to be Announced)

Markaz Sunnah is preparing to host Shaykh Zulfiker Ibrāhīm Memon in Brisbane in the coming months, in shā’ Allāh. Shaykh Zulfiker memorised the Qur’an at the age of 14 in England, studied Hanafi fiqh for five years in India, and later earned a Master’s degree in ʿAqīdah and Daʿwah from the Islamic University of Madinah, where he achieved distinctions in Arabic, Ḥadīth, Islamic studies, and Daʿwah. He also holds a Master’s in Islamic Studies and Translation from SOAS, University of London (First Class Honours with Distinction), and a Higher Diploma in Postgraduate Studies from the Institute of Arabic Manuscripts in Cairo.

Shaykh Zulfiker is the Head of Markaz al-Sunnah in the UK and serves as the head translator and official translator for the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice at the Prophet’s Masjid ﷺ. He also directs the Madeenah Arabic Program at the Islamic University of Madinah.

With numerous Ijāzāt in Qur’an and Ḥadīth from scholars in Madinah and beyond, Shaykh Zulfiker has travelled extensively, including multiple visits to Australia. His upcoming visit is expected to benefit the community through insightful lessons, Friday khuṭab, and educational programs, in shā’ Allāh. Program dates and details will be announced soon.

Upcoming Arabic Course – Beginner Level (Boys & Men)

Markaz Sunnah will soon launch a beginner-level Arabic course for boys and men, using the new edition of the Madinah Arabic series. This free course is designed for non-native speakers with little to no background in Arabic, focusing on building a solid foundation in reading, vocabulary, and basic grammar. Taught in a supportive and structured environment, it mirrors the success of our earlier women’s program. The start date and venue will be announced soon, in shā’ Allāh.

Future Project – Establishing a Masjid Upon the Manhaj of the Salaf

Markaz Sunnah is actively working towards establishing a dedicated masjid in Brisbane based on the methodology of the Salaf. This masjid will serve as a centre for worship, learning, and community support—offering regular prayers, classes, and gatherings rooted in authentic Islamic teachings. With the help of Allah ﷻ and the support of the community, this project aims to provide a lasting foundation for generations to come. Further details will be shared as the project progresses, in shā’ Allāh.
