It must be remembered that admission to the Jamiah and its branches is done at the Jamiah only. Study hours The hours of studies for students of regular classes are four in the morning and two after Zuhr. A break is allowed in between for lunch, rest and prayers. The classes for hifz are also held between Magrib and Isha apart from these hours. Besides, students of regular classes have to revise and study their lessons between Maghrib to 10.30 PM under the supervision of their respective teachers; whereas, the studying hours for the Middle classes and the Girls section are from 8 to 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The Academic Year and Holidays The duration of academic year is about ten months. It begins on 15th Shawwal and ends early Shaban. The annual vacation is for two months. On the occasion of Eid-ul-Adhaa, there is a vacation for ten days, too. However, the weekly holiday is on Friday. Student Welfare and Grants Education in all departments of the Jamiah is free. There are no charges for any student for education, boarding or for other purposes. Even the books are lent out to students. Needy students are offered scholarships. Meals, medical facilities and other necessities of life are also provided free of charge. Allaah makes it possible through His Benevolence and through the cooperation of His pious slaves. The Boarding Houses Along with education of the students, special attention is paid towards their moral and religious grooming. To achieve this, it is necessary that they pass their twenty-four hours in the environment of the Jamiah. This is why the Jamiah and its branches have provided boarding houses and a separate building for foreign student at the Jamiah, too. These buildings have facilities like electricity, water, gas stoves, boilers, fans, water coolers and other basic needs. There are separate kitchens and dinning halls too for foreign and local students, where they eat together. Teachers are appointed to look after and supervise students in the boarding houses at times apart from their studies. They ensure that they are all present at night and would verify it at any time of the night. They awake them for the Fajr and Zuhr prayers. Usually, the students take a nap before Zuhr. In case if any student who falls ill, they will arrange for his immediate treatment without fail. The boarding houses open and close on fixed times. Likewise, proper arrangements have been made to keep them clean and tidy, which are overseen by the supervisors of the boarding houses. There are many students who live locally in Karachi. They stay at the Jamiah during the hours of their studies and revision. Thereafter they return to their homes. |
