Sis Umm Sabr, what did you get? overall percentage? and which section was your strength?

I prefer not to give out the percentage unless others will share theirs! Although overall it was much better than what I expected, especially as little to zero revision was done. Other sisters that attended had a similar problem i.e little time to go over the notes before the exam. My strengths were aqeedah and fiqh (in that order I think). I missed out a few questions on the sect's section.

[al_Zayn]

Overall i got 79%, Brother hayat got 89%, my strength was Aqeedah and fiqh too, i flopped on my sects, i got a handful of zeros on that lol.

And you?

[Umm Sabr]

69 % I expected in the region of 45%.

you both did really well.

[al_Zayn]

69 % I expected in the region of 45%.

you both did really well.

To be honest i was aiming higher for my overall marks, but it was due to the lack of homework i put in, very little amount of time.

But Alhamdulillah, I calculated my exams on Aqeedah is over 90% and my Fiqh is over 90% too...though i couldn't get my overall grading, on this occasion il have to settle for 2nd best.

Masha-Allah sister you got good marks! since it was higher than you were expecting.

May Allah give us the Tawfiq to act upon what we have learnt.

[Umm Sabr]

I had some different answers than what was expected, for both aqeedah and fiqh questions, due to my own understandings and "aqeedah" on them from past studies elsewhere. I think that led to a loss of a few marks here and there. Hence the importance to stick to the syllabus that is taught and revise it before exam.

May Allah give us the Tawfiq to act upon what we have learnt.

ameen.

Discussed by some notable Ulemah...but who will actually be teaching it?

salams all

my post was actually copied and pasted from the original one on deenport, which i thought would be beneficial for you guys. The course in Birmingham is taught by Moulana Sjaad Hussain and Dr Asim Yusuf, who describe themselves only as 'students of knowledge.' I know that both have studied under Allama Rasool Baksh Sa'idi, as well as some of the ulama of Syria. However, though they often quote and reference their teachers, they don't make a point of mentioning their ijazat and that sort of stuff.

If you would like to know more, they are both very open to questions, so just come along for the induction and ask!

peace all!
