باسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، أما بعد: Seeing as only a few days stand between us and Ramdhan and most have suggested we delay Madina Book 2 till after Ramadhan, I've decided to take this opportunity to start a new series; Al-Fiqh Al-Muyassar (Fiqh Simplified) (LINK: https://t.me/madrasatuna/1382) I consulted our Sheikh, Abu Musa (Abdullah Hableel) hafidhahulah before commencing, as I was in two minds, but he encouraged to go through this particular book. The Sheikh, who himself has taught this book, said it is generally a good book, as it gives a concise overview of Fiqhi matters which every Muslim should be acquainted with. The book is well organised, simple to understand, it doesn't go into differences of opinion, and was compiled and verified by a number of scholars & professors working in conjuction with the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Da'wah & Guidance. We will be reading from the second edition which is published by Dar Al-'Alamiyyah. I mention this because it is very likely that you will come across newer editions of the book, so if you do purchase a newer edition, please note there may be slight differences. OBJECTIVES: There are 2 main objectives behind this course: The first: to gain a fundamental understanding of the topics covered in Fiqh Secondly: to build a direct connection to Arabic books. We are all on a journey to learn Arabic, and somewhere within that journey we need to transition from relying solely on translations to being able to pick up Arabic books and read them independently. The hope is to learn new vocabulary, or at least gain some confidence in reading an Arabic book. METHODOLOGY: - I will read the text in Arabic and translate in English - I will give a brief explanation of whatever requires explaining - I will create short digestible video clips and upload them onto this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLILZM7Z8mbfA09Bl1AGm2vl-RLAs4J8hC - I will mention the relevant corrections cited by Sheikh Abu Musa Abdullah Hableel in his 'Mukhtasar At-Te'leeq Al-Muharrar 'ala kitab Al-Fiqh Al-Muyassar' (Link: https://t.me/madrasatuna/1376) - Rather than start from the beginning of the book, I will jump straight into Chapter 4; Kitab As-Siyam, hoping that we can complete it in time for Ramdhan. After that, we will continue with chapter five; Kitab Al-Hajj, and try and complete it before Hajj إن شاء الله I ask Allah to make this work sincerely for Him alone, just as I ask Him to make it a source of benefit for Islam and the Muslims Your brother: Abu Ishaq Muhammad Ibn Ahmad #fiqhsimplified #wajib #shaban
