As college-level courses with interactive online classes, homework assignments, research papers and tests, students need to complete the courses in each level to pass from one level to the next. The first two levels cover the general knowledge needed to live joyously as a Muslim. The second two levels go deeper into the Islamic sciences, with the end goal of preparing dāʿyiahs, those with the soun
d educational and spiritual base needed to teach and call to Islam. The Ribaat Program is comprised of both core courses and electives. The core courses will remain the same and students are required to complete all core courses of each level to move on to the next. Electives will change each semester, and students are required to complete a certain number of electives throughout the four levels of study. Ribaat also offers leveled Arabic courses to complement its four-level program, and while the Arabic courses are not required to move forward to Ribaat Level 2, some knowledge of the Arabic language is required in Level 3. Ribaat is a part of Rabata.org, Anse Tamara Gray's initiative to provide a community for women to live in the shelter of each other, and provide a platform from which they can gain access to and contribute to the world of Islamic scholarship.
