Experience Transformative Arabic Learning in Istanbul
Join us for an immersive Arabic language journey in the heart of Istanbul. The Istanbul Arabic Intensive, presented by Tayseer Seminary in partnership with Midad, offers a unique blend of rigorous language instruction and cultural enrichment.
"Outside of class, the city itself became a source of inspiration—its Islamic landscape, Ottoman architecture, and rich history illuminated everything I studied. Walking from the madrassa to the 16th-century Valide Atik Mosque every day to pray salah and jumu'ah was a profound experience."

As someone who had never traveled to a predominantly Muslim country, walking from the madrassa to the 16th-century Valide Atik Mosque every day to pray salah and juma’a was a profound experience. It felt like the cherry on top of all my hard work and challenges.
