Deen Arts Foundation South Africa  is dedicated to the traditional pedagogy of the Ijaazah system, which has preserved the Islamic sciences for the past 1400 years through a  master-student-apprentice relationship which   ensures that the highest level of mastery is retained as knowledge passes to the next generation. The master calligraphers, manuscript illumination artists, geometers, and munshids associated with Deen Arts Foundation South Africa have all learned through the Ijazah system.
