Before You Say Yes
What Every Muslim Woman Needs to Know - Especially Before Marriage
Marriage is one of the most important decisions a person will ever make.
Yet many sisters begin the marriage journey without a clear understanding of the rulings, rights, and guidance that Islam provides.
This course takes you through the fiqh of marriage from the earliest stages of seeking a spouse through to the Nikah itself, equipping you with the knowledge to approach marriage with confidence, clarity, and wisdom.
What You Will Study
✔ The virtue and importance of marriage in Islam
✔ Choosing a spouse according to the Qur’an and Sunnah
✔ Practical avenues for finding a suitable spouse
✔ The rulings of seeing and speaking to a potential spouse
✔ Those whom it is prohibited to marry
✔ The engagement period and its rulings
✔ The Nikah contract: pillars, conditions, and validity
✔ Conditions that may be included within a marriage contract
✔ The mahr (dowry): rulings, wisdom, and common mistakes
✔ Wedding celebrations and common misconceptions
✔ Women’s rights before marriage and how to make informed decisions
✔ Practical advice, common pitfalls, and contemporary issues
Why This Course Matters
One of the greatest protections a woman can have before marriage is knowledge.
Throughout this course, special emphasis will be placed on helping sisters understand the rights Islam has granted them before marriage, enabling them to navigate the marriage process with greater confidence and clarity.
Learn from Experience and Scholarship
Having studied the Fiqh of Marriage and Divorce at both Master’s and Bachelor’s level, alongside extensive study of traditional works of fiqh with specialist scholars, Shaykha Umm Jamaal combines authentic scholarship with practical experience.
Students will also benefit from insights drawn from Master’s-level research and more than two decades of teaching, mentoring, and supporting Muslim women.
Note : This course focuses on the journey to marriage. A companion course covering rights and responsibilities within marriage will follow.
The Muslim Mindset:
The 40 Hadith of Imam An-Nawawi
Developing the heart, mind, and character of the believer through the words of the Prophet ﷺ
In a time when hearts, minds, and identities are being shaped from every direction, grounding ourselves in the words of the Prophet ﷺ is more important than ever.
The 40 Hadith of Imam An-Nawawi is one of the most powerful collections every Muslim should study. These hadith teach us the foundations of Islam, purification of the heart, good character, and how to live with clarity and purpose as believers.
This term, we begin from Hadith 6, moving into powerful narrations that teach us how to recognise Allah’s boundaries, protect the heart, leave doubtful matters, live with sincerity, and build a life of taqwa and istiqamah.
Each hadith brings its own knowledge, lessons, rulings, and reminders, allowing every student to gain deep benefit wherever they begin.
Together, these hadith speak directly to the Muslim mindset: how we make decisions, guard our hearts, deal with others, and remain firm upon the Deen.
They are a roadmap for every Muslim who wants to live with clarity, purpose, and a heart connected to Allah.
What You Will Study
Through this course, you will:
✔ Understand each Hadith clearly
✔ Learn key lessons and rulings
✔ Connect the hadith to real life
✔ Strengthen your Islamic mindset and identity
✔ Increase in love for the words of the Prophet ﷺ
✔ Grow in Taqwa, sincerity, and awareness of Allah

Shariah Classes are
designed to help you:
Study deeply without the pressure of obligatory exams or overload
Learn just two subjects per term, with no obligatory exam and no cramming, in a structured way. Go beyond surface-level learning and gain in-depth knowledge of your Deen that motivates you and uplifts your Iman.
"Truly designed for busy moms."
I have always wanted to learn in depth about Islamic Fiqh and Shariah but thought it was out of reach due to price or accessibility with small kids. However with Shaykha Umm Jamaal, classes are truly designed for busy moms.
Learn at a pace that fits your busy life
Attend live classes when you can, or catch up with full recordings when you can’t. Flexible access and no compulsory attendance give you the freedom to study at a pace that’s convenient for you.
"Ask any question and you get fast reply.”
I’m a mum of 4 and pregnant so I can't attend classes in person. Having the luxury of turning on the recordings when I have time has given me the opportunity to study.
Feel supported, seen, and guided with a compassionate teacher
Study closely with a qualified Shaykha who encourages questions, explains with care, values your insight, and understands the struggles of being a Muslim woman today.
"The Shaykha is warm, engaging and kind to all students!"
Classes are well structured which really helps with my learning and the Shaykha is warm, engaging, and kind to all students and has a great sense of humour.
Build a strong foundation in your Deen to lead the way
Gain authentic knowledge of Deen and develop a solid foundation that strengthens your iman and gives you the certainty and confidence to guide your family.
"A genuine investment"
I genuinely feel this has been not only an investment in myself but an investment for my family since I now have the evidence and correct information to teach my children. As a revert, this course has also made me feel more confident in answering questions about my daily life to my non-Muslim family.
What makes the Shariah Classes unique?
Approachable and structured learning that’s so much more than just theory! These classes don’t just give you traditional knowledge and leave you wanting more. They’re aimed at motivating your Iman, helping you develop a deeper love for your Deen, and giving you the practical tools to implement that knowledge with clarity.

Yes, I want Clarity of Deen
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"When Allah wishes good for someone, He bestows upon him the understanding of Deen."
Al-Bukhari and Muslim
As a Muslim woman juggling multiple roles and responsibilities, it’s natural to feel a dip in Iman from time to time.
So how do you maintain that same zeal without feeling burnout?
What you need is a space that keeps you connected to your Deen. You need knowledge that uplifts your Iman and gives you the confidence to practice your faith without confusion.
But taking the time out of your busy routine can be a struggle in itself, and we understand that struggle.
That’s why, we’ve designed Shariah Classes as a flexible, easy to manage study program that works around your life.
With no fixed start dates and no mandatory class attendance, you can choose any two subjects from our curriculum, join whenever you’re ready (even mid-module), and study at a pace that suits you.

"Fiqh and Aqeeda classes from Shaikha have brought a tremendous change in my life Alhumdulillah."
I have been with you for 15 months Alhumdulillah and I can clearly see the strong and firm aqeeda building inside which is increasing my imaan day by day. The more I am learning Aqeeda, the more I want to learn because it is like the cleansing of our belief system Alhumdulillah. May Allah reward you Shaykha immensely for your efforts and protect you from all evil powers. Ameen!

"The amount of knowledge and insight packed into every minute is incredible."
Subhan’Allah, I wasn’t expecting this level of depth! Just during the second class alone, I found myself two pages deep in notes — and I’m sure I still missed things. When I paused to check how far I’d gotten, I was shocked to see I was only 7 minutes and 36 seconds in! The amount of knowledge and insight packed into every minute is incredible. Even after completing my Shariah studies multiple times, I discovered details I had never learnt before, beautifully explained and unpacked in depth. This course is truly suitable for all learners, whether beginner or advanced, as the Shaykha starts with the fundamentals and then dives deeply into them with clarity and precision. Alhamdulillah, I can honestly say this class has reignited my love for studying and deepened my understanding in ways I didn’t expect. Highly recommended!
~ Kristy-lee
"These classes have truly been a life-changing experience for me..."
I’ve gained a deep understanding of the laws of my Deen, which has greatly strengthened my Aqeedah. One of the things I appreciate most is that Shakya is always available to answer questions and responds with such care and clarity. She is truly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had, and I wholeheartedly recommend these classes to everyone.
~ Mehr Khawar
"Alhamdulillah, these classes have truly deepened my understanding of Islam and strengthened my connection with Allah عز وجل."
The way the lessons are taught is heartfelt, clear, and filled with sincerity. It’s not just learning, it’s transformation. I’ve gained so much peace, clarity, and purpose through them, and I’d encourage every sister to join and experience this beautiful growth for themselves, Insha’Allah
~ Souraya
Alhamdulillah Shakyha’s fiqh and Aqeedah classes have given me an opportunity to deepen my learning and understanding.
I really appreciate how Shaykha always presents multiple proofs from Qur'an and authentic hadith to affirm the content. As someone who has been unable to fast the past couple of years, I look forward to finally fasting again Insha'Allah this coming Ramadan with so much more clarity. Her Aqeedah classes have been very enlightening and has helped me to strengthen my tawkkul, especially the lessons on qadr. Jazakallah khayr Shaykha for making an accessible and safe space for sisters, particularly us mothers who sometimes struggle to find time to attend classes. I am looking forward to learning with Shaykha for a long time to come bi ithnillah.
~ A’isyiyah
The Shaykha is so patient and approachable, allowing a safe space for positive learning experience.
After completing Umrah, I felt really worried about losing the motivation to increase my Islamic knowledge and further strengthen my Imaan. Alhumdilah by the will of Allah SWT I came across the opportunity to experience in-depth knowledge from Shaykha. I was particularly keen to start the course as I knew it would be a beneficial and comfortable experience for me to learn Shariah from a Shaykha rather than a Shaykh. The Shaykha is so patient and approachable, allowing a safe space for positive learning experience. The flexibility the Shariah course provides through the student portal and group chat is truly a treasure for busy Muslim women Alhumdilah.

The 4-year In-Depth Study Programme
For sisters who wish to complete the full journey of structured Shariah studies with Shaykha Umm Jamaal ud-Din, these classes are part of an In-Depth Study Programme which runs over a 4 year period.
After almost 20 years of teaching Shariah classes to hundreds of Muslim women in Sydney, the Shaykha has carefully selected the most practical, essential, and impactful subjects needed to build a strong foundation in Deen.
In this programme, students have the flexibility to join at any stage over the course of four years, and study the most important areas of Islamic knowledge in-depth, including:
Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence): A comprehensive study of core Fiqh topics required for daily life, such as purification, prayer, fasting, zakah, hajj, marriage, divorce, inheritance, financial transactions, and more.
Aqeedah (Islamic Creed): A detailed study of the most important subjects required for a firm belief system, including the six pillars of Iman, the understanding of Tawheed, the straight path of Ahlus Sunnah in contrast to those who were misguided, and an in-depth study of the Names of Allah عز وجل.
Hadith Studies: An in-depth study of the complete collection of the 40 Hadith of Imam An-Nawawi, along with selected Hadith Qudsi.
In addition to the core curriculum, students also have the option to enrol in Enrichment Courses, which are offered separately and announced as the programme progresses, InshaAllah.
Our first Enrichment Course is an in-depth study of the Divine Commands in Surah Al-Baqarah.
