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 , becausethe basics are taught in Markaz Ul Lugha Al Arabiyya so this level requires being perfect inArabic at least.

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

in 1st year of Mahad you will study Kitabul Tauheed by shiekh Fowzaanin 2nd year of Mahad you fill study first half of the Best Sharh of Kitabul Tauheed of Imam


8/8

Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab named "Fathul Majeed"

in 3rd year you study the 2nd half of Fathul Majeedin 4th year you will study "Al Aqeedah Al tahawiyyah" by ibn taymiyah with sharh of shiekhKhaleel Harras.

But in general this Mahad Level does not make student expert in any 1 ilm , but you'll get thebasic and intermediate level information about the Ulooms I quoted above, Or in other wordsthis 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 theykeep teaching Aqeedah even in faculty of Hadith like "Taiseerul Azeez al Hameed sharhKitabul Tauheed" by Shiekh Suleman bin Abdullah,and "Sharh Aqeedah Tahawiyah" by ibn abilizz 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 9thshawwal , 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 missunderstanding from me so the fact is that shiekh Ibn baz recommends it a good University asit is written in the university's cataloge.

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