Dear Brother ,, Mahad Us Sanawiyya is the Intermediate level course .

it contains the study of different ulooms like :

Hadith , Fiqh ,Aqeedah, Usuulul fiqh , Grammer, Tafseer, Usuulul Hadith ,Adab Wa Balagha.

The requirement of this course is that you should know and talk in Arabic fluently , because
the basics are taught in Markaz Ul ñugha Al Arabiyya so this level requires being perfect in
Arabic at least.

and about what you state that you want to learn Aqeedah , so Abu bakr Islamic University is
quiet good and famous in teaching Aqeedah

in 1st year of Mahad you will study Kitabul Tauheed by shiekh Fowzaan
in 2nd year of Mahad you fill study first half of the Best Sharh of Kitabul Tauheed of Imam
Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab named "Fathul Majeed"

in 3rd year you study the 2nd half of Fathul Majeed

in 4th year you will study "Al Aqeedah Al tahawiyyah" by ibn taymiyah with sharh of shiekh
Khaleel Harras.

But in general this Mahad ñevel does not make student expert in any 1 ilm , but you'll get the
basic and intermediate level information about the Ulooms I quoted above, Or in other words
this level is must for one who want's to be a Student of ilm .

After this Mahad level ..Jamia Abu Bakr has Faculty of Hadith(now in 3 years) , however they
keep teaching Aqeedah even in faculty of Hadith like "Taiseerul Azeez al Hameed sharh
Kitabul Tauheed" by Shiekh Suleman bin Abdullah,and "Sharh Aqeedah Tahawiyah" by ibn abil
izz but the main focus is on Hadeeth and its Ulooms.

and here I have a good news that the new admissions for year 2009/2010 will begin from 9th
shawwal , 29th sep 2009 , so kindly spread this news and don't miss this chance if you can !!

Hope Answered your question

Disclaimer : I stated in the above post that shiekh Ibn Baz came here for visit , it was a miss
understanding from me so the fact is that shiekh Ibn baz recommends it a good University as
it is written in the university's cataloge.

But many of other Arab Mashaykh's came here like Shiekh Abdul Razzaq Al badr, Shiekh Anees
Tahir Al Indonesi , Shiekh Abdul Rehman Shamsaan,(All are senior scholors of Madinah
University) and many others...
