Asalamu alaykum,

We praise Allah and send peace and blessings upon the Prophet, his family and companions.

I plan to be in the states in late July inshallah. In August, I will start teaching in the Bay area again. I will be teaching after Fajr Mon-Thurs at the MCA. Here are the subjects we plan to cover:

1. Memorization of Qur’an [serious students need to finish two Juz by late September]

2. Fiqh – we will study the Matn of Ibn Ashir and for the advanced students the Risalah of Abi Zaid with Sh. al-‘Adawi’s commentary

3. Arabic – Aajrumiyah and for the advanced students Qatra Nada

4. Usol – The Matn of Ibn Abi Kaf then al-Hattab’s explanation of al-Waraqat.

5. Adab – Some of the poems of Ahmed Shawqi

6. Hadith – Memorization of the 40 hadith with sanad

7. Fitness – There will also be a fitness program organized by some local trainers

8. Activism – Community activism organized by MAS

Cost: Dua for me in the middle of the night

Recorded: Yes, inshallah and we are thinking to webcast this.

In addition, we plan to offer 3-4 courses here at the website from July till Ramadan taught by a group of American Azharis.

Cost: Dua for us in the middle of the night

  • sounds like it will be a eventful and well spent summer, good use of your time. I wish I lived in your area, the bay area. The area is full of scholars, like hamza yusuf, zaid sakie, suhaib weeb and more, may ALLAH preserve them for the future of the ummah. I hope i will soon move to the state of california and work with the l.e.o segment, salaams to all.

  • I'd be interested! (If it's advertised like the other class Strengthening our Souls is advertised, i'd assume at least 20-40 people would be interested in the webcast, wa Allaahu 'alam)
