I am intending on studying in Makkah at Madrassah As-Sawlatiyyah, however they said i must have someone who lives in Saudi who will be willing to be my contact/sponsor in case of an emergency...

Anyone who lives in Saudi willing to be a contact/sponsor?

Alhamdulillah, i have a sponsor!!!

Now i just need to pray that i get into the Madrassah and Visa goes through, InshAllah.

I chose this Madrassah firstly because it is in the best of locations, MAKKAH.

Secondly, it is well known and established and almost every Aalim i have spoken to knows about it and told me good things about the Madrassah.

Alhamdulillah, it is a Madrassah which teaches Hanafi Fiqh and is run by Ulama from Pakistan/India.

Sounds too good to be true. But husn al-dhann prevails over speculation.

My teacher phoned the Madrassah and they said i must have a sponsor, now that i have one, InshAllah he will phone again soon and i'll see what happens from there. Please make Duaa everyone. InshAllah, i will keep in touch if i do get in.

So far i know that a Maulana from Pakistan known as Maulana Saeed is one of the main guys there and also someone called Maulana Saifur-Rahman.

From the little i know regarding the history of the Madrassah, it was opened by an Aalim who went to Makkah from India during the British occupation, and the Madrassah has direct links with Darul-Uloom Deoband.

I recall reading an article in which the late salafi scholar Hammad al-Ansari criticized this madrasa. I am certain that it is Deobandi/Hanafi.

**Saleel** · 18-12-2005, 10:53 PM

Anyone have any more information about this Madrassah?

**godilali** · 19-12-2005, 03:09 AM

THey have a website, but I forgot what it is.

I am still in the process of finding out about it and gaining admission myself yet, so i will answer your questions after i get the answers, InshAllah.

Yes, it is a Hanafi Madrassah and i am not surprised it has been critisized by Salafis.

One of the main guys who is Maulana Saifur-Rahman was the teacher of Maulana Bilal from Bury Darul-Uloom.

The As-Sawlatiyyah Madrassah website is: www.alsawlatiyah.com/

But it's all in Arabic.
