At The Classical Institute, this advanced curriculum offers a sustained study of the classical Hadith tradition through the complementary study of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani’s Nuzhat al-Nazar and Imam al-Tirmidhi’s Jami. Led by Dr Badreldeen Ismail, students move between the terminology, classifications and systematic methods of the Hadith sciences and their operation within a major classical collection, bringing the theory and scholarly practice of Hadith criticism into close relation through sustained engagement with both texts.
