Our Vision
Nueces Seminary is committed to making Sacred Islamic Knowledge as accessible as possible to anyone and everyone willing to learn.

We understand that different students have different circumstances in life, which leads people to have varying career, educational, and Islamic objectives and goals. We attempt to cater to all from those who just want the basics to those who are eager for deeper Islamic studies.

Year 1

Nueces Seminary's Year 1 program is uniquely designed for college students who seek to excel both academically and spiritually. Tailored to fit into a busy college schedule, this program provides a robust foundation in essential Islamic knowledge. Throughout the year, students will study the Fiqh of Salah and Tahara, Uloom Al Quran, Aqeedah, and Tafseer of the oft-recited chapters. By the time they graduate, students will leave university not only with a top-tier education in their chosen field but also with a deep and comprehensive understanding of Islam—equipping them with the tools to lead and succeed in all aspects of life.

Year 2

In the second year at Nueces Seminary, students deepen their Islamic studies by focusing on the mastery of Classical Arabic. They learn to translate a variety of important texts, including the renowned Ajurrumiyyah, a foundational work in Arabic grammar. This rigorous study sharpens their linguistic skills, allowing them to engage with classical Islamic literature in its original language. Year 2 is an essential step for those dedicated to gaining a deeper understanding of Islamic teachings through the rich tradition of Arabic scholarship.

Year 3

Year 3 at Nueces Seminary is designed for students who are ready to dive deeper into the complexities of Classical Arabic and Islamic scholarship. This program offers a more rigorous study of advanced Arabic texts, challenging students to apply their language skills to a broader range of literature. Through intensive analysis and discussion, students engage with classical works, enhancing their understanding and interpretation of Islamic teachings. This year marks a pivotal point in the seminary experience, as students refine their scholarly abilities and prepare for advanced levels of Islamic study

Testimonials
My prayers felt deeper, my love for Islam grew, and the questions I had about how to do even the smallest things, that I was always too embarrassed to ask, got answered. My notes that I took throughout Seminary have been worn down from how many times I've referred back to them since graduating. And even now, as I go into new stages of life, I constantly refer back to the knowledge gained then to navigate how to move forward. For anyone considering joining, my advice to you would be to not think and just do it. As much as college will be life-altering for you and teach you so much about yourself, Nueces Seminary can be 10 times as life-altering and will not only teach you about who you are now, but will give you the tools to mold what type of Muslim you can be in the future inshaAllah.
- Arshiya Murtaza
I have gained so much more knowledge about Islam since I have started seminary. I realized how important the journey of knowledge is and how much closer it can bring you to Allah and your faith. I have learned how to look at life through the lens of Islam and how everything around me and what I am going through has been allowed by Allah. This is the closest I have been to Islam and I can’t wait to further my journey and gain more beneficial knowledge!
- Mayy Alsawfta
I joined Nueces Seminary because I genuinely felt at the time that if I were to stand before my Rabb, I wouldn't have done my due diligence in pursuing Islamic knowledge - this was a golden opportunity for me to do so. I felt so lucky that there was a seminary program that was so accessible to me and I'm immensely grateful that I was able to be a part of it. I found that the more I learned about my deen, the more I realized I didn't know. By the end of my first semester, I had 'relearned' so many basic fundamentals of Islam and I could see the changes manifest in my daily life. My salah and wudu completely transformed after I sat down and studied everything traditionally from scratch, and it only made me wonder what more I needed to learn and how else I could improve.
- Saniah Ahmad
Being a Nueces Seminary student helps me fulfill my obligation, as a Muslim, to continue seeking knowledge. Seeking Islamic knowledge is integral to staying connected to one's faith because growth takes place through learning, and growth is required to become a better Muslim.
