MARS: Muslim Academic Revival Series Program

darulqasimcollege.org/mars

It is vital for Muslims to take seriously what Shaykh Amin refers to as the “academic imperative.” Shaykh Amin envisions the MARS initiative to be a vehicle by which the transfer of beneficial knowledge and the cultivation of academic rigor can take place in a manner which finds its roots in the premodern madrasa system. In this pursuit for more knowledge, students in the MARS initiative will find themselves better-situated to meet the needs of this place and time. Courses are offered across 4 times zones, removing barriers to accessibility for a global audience that is in genuine need of the guidance, beneficial knowledge, and experience offered by faculty at DQC.
