Making use of the state-of-the-art technology to spread the true teachings of Islam, Romanian Muslims have launched an online school to teach Islamic studies in the south-eastern European country. “This is the first online school to allow Romanian Muslim youth to study Islamic sciences,” Cherim Enghin, co-founder and head of the Muslim Association of Romania, told IOL Sunday, November 15. Students study a two-year course on Islamic subjects, including Qur’an, Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad pbuh) and Islamic jurisprudence. The course is divided into three semesters, each takes three months. Students pay only a 25-euro fees to enroll in the school www.asociatiamusulmanilor.ro “The school is meeting a high demand from students,” said Bari Nerdin, Head of the Romanian Muslim Youth Association. Founders say the online school aims to meet a cute shortage in Islamic education institutions in the country. "Romania has no Islamic school nor university that allows Muslims to study the Islamic studies in an in-depth and systematic way,” said Enghin. There are some 70,000 Muslims in Romanian, making up two percent of its 22 million population. Most Romanian Muslims belong to the Tatar, Turkish or Albanian ethnic communities. End Item/ 129 |
