anyone thinking of attending?

[Saleel]

:salam:

Unfortunately a bit too far for me.

Abdul, you seem to know Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari personally... do you know if he's planning on coming down to London anytime soon?

:salam:

[Abdul]

Bro saleel

I dont know him that well. I have met him a few time, but my elder brother knows him really well. I'll ask my brother to ask Mufti Muhammad whether he is coming to London soon or not.

[Learner]

Masha'Allah - great opportunity for everybody to attend and benefit from a series of unique study sessions under the guidance of a leading scholar of our times.

Please note: The organisers have tried their best to facilitate for brothers and sisters coming from distant places - the classes have been set to run every fortnight allowing people to reprieve in between.

Personally the best thing about it is that we will be able to study the text of al-Muktasar in a progressive format from cover to cover and complete it under the wisdom of the Shaykh. This should allow for a very detailed and intricate study (the a-z of marriage) to the foundation of a harmonious society...which starts at home by the way! Insha'Allah if harmony is established in the home then that will flow through the children and outside community.

The course is NOT just aimed at people wanting to get married but is also aimed at those brothers/sisters who are already married.

Have I manged to sell it to you guys? :cheesygri
Book now because the consessionary offer has been extended till the 10th of March

Biography of Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam

(Shaykh Mufti) Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari is a traditionally trained scholar who studied in different parts of the world. Born in Leicester, UK in 1976 and raised under the guidance of his illustrious father, Shaykh Mawlana Adam, he started learning about Islam from a very young age. He memorized the Holy Qur’an at a very tender age of 9.

At the age of 12, he enrolled into one of the famous Islamic institutions in Britain, Dar al-Uloom in Bury, and studied the Arabic Language and various other Islamic Sciences under many Shuyukh notably, Shaykh Muhammad Yusuf Mutala (A great scholar of Hadith & Tasawwuf, and the senior disciple of the famous Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya al-Kandahlawi). He received Ijazahs in various books including the six major books of Hadith. He also took part in a one year course of specialization in fiqh (Iftaa).

After graduating from the Dar al-Uloom, he travelled to Karachi, Pakistan, where he studied under one of the greatest living Scholars, Shaykh Justice Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani (Vice Chairman, International Islamic Fiqh Academy, Jeddah) and others.

In the year 2000, he travelled to Damascus, Syria, where he increased in experience and knowledge by studying under the great Ulama of Sham (Syria). Among those from who he has Ijazah are Shaykh Abd al- Razzaq al-Halabi and Shaykh Doctor Abd al- Latif Farfur al-Hasani.

His works include The Issue of Shares, Birth Control & Abortion, Simplified Rules of Zakat, The Importance of Growing a Beard (Arabic) and Discussions in the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunnah (Arabic).

He presently resides in Leicester, UK, where he teaches students the various Sciences of Islamic Knowledge at Jamiah Uloom al-Qur’an, and helps people with their queries and problems with the Darul Iftaa.

[Learner]

Last few days....

Get your friends to come along and benefit from the course with you...plus you get to share the cost of petrol :D

wasslaamu alaikum

[Learner]

Br Abdullah,

Did you attend the first session? How was it?
personally I found Mufti Muhammad to be HILARIOUS with his comments and stories :p May Allah give him Long life ...such amazing knowledge at such a tender age!

Did anybody else attend?

[Live for Islam]

Assalamu Alaikum Wr Wb,

Unfortunately, I didn't make it to the first session. But someone e-mailed me the following details about how it went:

------------------------------------------

In the first session the following topics were discussed in great length and detail:

The importance of social injunctions in Islam, The importance of marriage and learning about it, The ruling on getting married i.e. is it Fardh, Wajib, Sunnah, Makruh or unlawful to marry and that the ruling will change according to the person intending to marry. We also discussed in detail how to select a suitable spouse for marriage. What are the things that need to be considered and what things should be avoided.


We intend to cover the various topics in a systematic order, so in the next session we hope to discuss:


1) Prohibitions in marriage, meaning those whom one cannot marry, whether because of kinship, fosterage, and/or many other reasons.


2) All the rules of engagement in detail


3) The actual marriage contract and how a Nikah ceremony is done. The witnesses, etc.


4) Detailed explanation on the dowry


5) Polygamy


6) Rights of husband and wife


And much more

----------------------------------------------------

Masha-Allah, the course sounds great. Hopefully, my friends and I will be attending some of the sessions. Next session is on: Sunday 3rd April

Wassalam.

I heard that CDs of the course will be available... about 30 CD's, Insha-Allah... they are recording it.

[Learner]

Quick Reminder

The 2nd sessison will be held this sunday - same time, same venue.
Prompt Start.


Wassalaamu alaikum

[eTeacher]

Masha Allah, some really nice topics.....after reading his well written detailed answers on sunnipath, i doubt that he will have enough time to cover the topics in detail cause he has sooo much to say....

btw..that poster is hype....

[Ansari]

Br Abdullah,

Did you attend the first session? How was it?
personally I found Mufti Muhammad to be HILARIOUS with his comments and stories :p May Allah give him Long life ...such amazing knowledge at such a tender age!

Did anybody else attend?
Salaam Alaikum, please share some of those stories with us, if you can.

[Umm Rumaysah]

Sorry to detract a bit but apparently Mufti Muhammad held a course on 'Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah' last year and the CDs are now available. I hear that they are very informative and at a decent price too - any one have any details on how we can purchase them?

[Learner]

They had an introductory offer of £30 for the entire set of 19 cds...a whopping £20 off from the normal price!!!

The introductory offer was immediately a sell out and I think you should be able to purchase it from all major bookshops from next month and may also be able to buy from www.urvoices.com

As far as I understand, they will be released before the end of this month and only a limited number of sets are being produced. Hence, if you'd like a set too I would urge you to contact voices asap and reserve yourself an entire set. I think the normal price is £49.99.

It makes a wonderful and amazing gift to any serious student of knowledge or a person wanting to know the fundamentals of Islamic belief - many consider the knowledge of aqeedah to be a fundamental issue which EVERY muslim and muslimah should be aware of and have classified it as Fard 'Ayn (Obligatory upon all muslims)...ahh if only we understood the value and importance.

[Learner]

Salaam Alaikum, please share some of those stories with us, if you can.

Really sorry for not getting back on this - I've been pretty tied up lately. Apologies. Insha'Allah When I get a bit more time, I will write down a few of the many funny stories narrated by the shaykh! ;)

Is anyone going to this event tomorow. Does anyone know if you can just attend without registering or you have to register first?
