Course Description
The Arabic and Islamic Studies programs at Darul Qasim will enable the student to appreciate the linguistic and intellectual depth of the Quran and Sunnah.
The Arabic program is designed to help the students understand 80% of Quranic philology.
"I am a Qasim (a distributor) and Allah is the One who gives" (Hadith)
Sheikh-Ul-Hind is the epiteth of none other than the eminent scholar Moulana Mahmood Hasan. He was the first student of Moulana Mohammad Qasim, founder of Darul-Ulum Deoband. The title of our program is motivated by the fact that Sheikh-ul-Hind studied under Moulana Qasim in a very intensive fashion

Shaykh Bilal Ali Ansari
Shaykh Bilal Ali Ansari was born and raised in Chicago, IL. After studying two years of computer engineering at the University of Illinois in Urbana, IL, his desire for Islamic knowledge drove him to the Indian subcontinent, where he decided to pursue an education in Islamic studies.
Shaykh Bilal started his Islamic studies at Jami'a al-Hasanayn in Faisalabad, Pakistan under the auspices of the famous orator and da'i of Islam, Mawlana Tariq Jameel. There, he spent nearly four years in the company and service of his beloved and talented teacher, Shaykh Ramzi al-Habib al-Tunisi al-Maliki.
Later, he traveled to Karachi and enrolled at the famous Jami'ah Dar al-'Ulum Karachi where he completed his hadith studies under prominent scholars of fiqh and hadith, such as Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani, Mufti Muhammad Rafi Usmani, Mufti Mahmud Ashraf Usmani, Mufti 'Abd al-Ra'uf al-Sikharwi, Mawlana 'Abdullah al-Burmi, Mawlana Iftikhar Ahmad al-A'zami, among others.
Afterwards, Shaykh Bilal enrolled in a specialization course in hadith and studied under Allamah Dr. Muhammad 'Abd al-Halim al-Nu'mani (al-Chishti), the brother of the famous hadith researcher, Allamah Muhammad Abd al-Rashid al-Nu'mani.
Shaykh Bilal Ali also has ijazahs in hadith from some of the most senior 'ulama' of Pakistan, namely Mawlana Salimullah Khan, Mawlana Sarfaraz Khan Safdar, Mawlana 'Abd al-Halim al-Nu'mani, and Mawlana Khan Muhammad, all direct students of Shaykh al-Islam Husayn Ahmad al-Madani. Currently, Mawlana Bilal Ali Ansari is teaching Islamic studies full-time at the Ma'had Ta'lim al-Islam (Institute of Islamic Education, Elgin IL) and resides with his wife near Chicago, IL.
Mufti Hussain Kamani
Mufti Hussain Kamani was born to a Hindu revert-to-Islam and Muslim father in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. With the blessings and du'a (supplications) of his parents, Mufti Hussain Kamani underwent a journey of a lifetime in pursuit of sacred Islamic knowledge. He began his pursuit of the Islamic sciences at the young age of six to memorize the entire Quran at the acclaimed Darul Uloom Madania in Buffalo, New York. By the blessings of Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, he was able to complete this momentous task in 1999. Having the growing thirst to quench more knowledge, Mufti Kamani then traveled across the world to the United Kingdom to attain more advanced formal Islamic authorizations in the field of Islamic theology. He studied at Darul Uloom Bury, the renowned seminary of the great revivalist and scholar of Hadith, Shaykh-ul-Hadith Zakariyya Kandhlawi (Rahmatullahi Alayh). Mufti Kamani completed the traditional six-year curriculum covering the Arabic language, Arabic morphology, Islamic jurisprudence, Tafseer (exegis) of the Holy Qur'an, Hadith (Prophetic Sciences), philosophy, and Aqeedah (Islamic Creed) under the guidance of some of the pioneer scholars in England, including Shaykh Yusuf Motala, Shaykh Hashim, Shaykh Bilal and Shaykh Abdur Raheem bin Dawood amongst others. Upon graduation he was then was specially selected to enter a post-graduate level course in Islamic Law and Legal Verdicts (Fatwa). He completed this course in two years and received formal authorization in it as well.
Alongside his religious studies, Mufti Kamani was blessed with having the opportunity to study the secular and academic sciences. He completed his graduate degree in Business Management from the University of Coventry in England as well.
Currently, Mufti Kamani is the Imam of the Islamic Center of Chicago. With the help of Allah, he is constantly working on projects and programs to cater towards the needs of the Muslim youth and the greater-Chicago community. This includes conducting numerous weekly lecture series, holding after-school Quran classes, counseling youth, couples, and adults in general, teaching new Muslims, giving da'wah to non-Muslims, and being a senior advocate of Halal awareness and integrity. He is also an instructor in the Sacred Learning program headed by Shaykh Husain Abdul Sattar and is a favorite at Darul Hikmah's Weekend Islamic Sciences Academy. He is also part of the Shariah Board of America's Fatwa Department staff.
