What Islamic Science to Study?

[Break The Cross]

As Salam Alaikum

If one attends a Islamic Uni, what major or science would you take first other than Arabic?

I know they wont let you study everything all at once, I was reading one of the cirriculums and it gave a choice between Arabic, Share'ah & Law, Usool ul Deen, Islamic Civilization, Qur'anic Sciences etc...

I know Arabic is a definite to take, but what others should one start with?

[Abuz Zubair]

For graduation you are required to study a bit of everything... from Fiqh, 'Aqida, Hadeeth, Usul, Tafseer, Seerah, etc....

It also depends on the orientation of the school. For instance, if it is hadeeth based, you concentrate on that more and less on fiqh, and vice versa.

I always thought that if you study Shari'ah you have to do modules on uloom al-Qur'an, usool al-Fiqh & Taareekh anyway, then specialise at a later stage - is that not true? e.g. I was looking through university of Shariqah (http://www.sharjah.ac.ae/academic/ - Faculty of Shari'ah and Islamic Studies) and they seem to cover a lot of things in the 4 years of usool ad-deen.

How do the various Islamic universities work, in terms of the modules they allow you to select?

I remember Azhar's degrees being quite specific in the modules they teach, then specialisation occurs in the 3rd year I think.

This is true, and this is what I said:

Although, I won't be sure about all the different Unis and their curriculum.
