Courses may explore topics such as the Quran, Hadith, Islamic law (Sharia), Sufism, Islamic civilization, and contemporary issues in the Muslim world. Lecturers often engage students in critical analysis of primary texts, historical events, and contemporary debates, fostering a deep understanding of Islam's rich intellectual and cultural heritage. 2. The departments may offer language courses in Arabic, or other relevant languages to facilitate the study of Islamic texts in their original language. Many Islamic studies departments also encourage interdisciplinary approaches, allowing students to integrate insights from fields such as anthropology, sociology, political science, and comparative religion. Through rigorous academic inquiry and respectful dialogue, students in Islamic studies departments develop a nuanced understanding of Islam and its global significance. 3. It will be a route to which students can be attracted into the main stream NCE programme, not only the critical areas mentioned above, but also into the other areas where the college may deem necessary.
