curriculum of Ribat Tarim

as Salamu alaikum,

This is the typical Fiqh curriculum for a student in Ribat Tarim, in the following order a student will read;

al-Risalat al-Jamia'h

Safinat al-Naja

al-Mukhtasar al-Latif

al-Muqaddimat al-Hadramiyyah

Matn Abi Shuja'a

Sharh ibn Qasim al-Ghazzi upon Abi Shuja'a

Safwat al-Zubad

'Umdat al-Salik

Fath al-Mu'in

Minhaj al-Talibin

Fath al-Wahhab

In Ribat, two Fiqh works are studied at the same time. There are two periods of Fiqh per-day, except for the months following Ramadhan until after Dhul-Hijjah where Nahw takes the place of the second Fiqh period. So while one is reading Matn Abi Shuja'a after 'Asr, one will also be studying al-Muqaddimat al-Hadramiyyah in the evening.

Aside from the above works, a student can find extra classes doing al-Yaqut an-Nafis, al-Tanbih etc.

  1. al-salam alaykum,

    Is it possible to study at Ribat Tarim as a foreigner? How does it compare to Dar al-Mustafa?

    Jazakum Allah khayran

  2. wa 'alaikum salam,

    It is definitely possible for foreigners to study in Ribat. I'd say that 97% of Ribat's boarding students are foreigners from Indonesian, Malaysia and Africa.

    It is known for being stronger than Dar al-Mustafa in terms of studies. Both are good but if you want to focus on the studies I think Ribat is better.

  3. Assalamu alaykum Br. Ahmad,

    I would like to know if you have studied in Ribat Tarim or if you know someone who has. I would like to have some specific information about studying there. Would you be able to share your e-mail address so that I may ask you some questions?

    Barakallahu feekum,
