This is a course that came out of the Iftar course, when we launched
the course idea online, so people register, we got over 100
registrations. And this is without, without exaggeration, I
mean, to be precise is like 100 and 105. Right? To be precise.
These were people from around the world and around the UK.
Now, it's I did a lot of consultation with alumni in South
Africa who've tried to do it online.
And we realized that it's just not going to work. If you want to do a
solid course, we're not just teaching a number of books, and
then giving them a certificate at the end. I mean, there are if
there are programs out there, which is a fast track one year,
four hours a week, you can be a mufti, right, we just don't want
to do that. So
when he got these 100, and so he said, There's no way we can
accommodate that even in this place, and you can't do it online.
And how do you how do you get people to do the work, it's very
enthused people get enthusiastic, they join up and then after doing
the work, and then making sure you have quality control is important.
So we said we only got to take 10 to 15 maximum. So that cut down a
lot so that that way, and you had to be here and then it has to be
in the morning. So that's why Hamdulillah I think we had the
Iftar tests with some got some really good candidate candidates
Inshallah, and will be inshallah approving some neck proving them
next week in sha Allah. So look out for those of you who did take
that test.
But what we realized from this is that a number of people who
applied were not interested in being a Mufti.
They just wanted something to do with fear. They just wanted to
brush up on their face. Because they graduated.
They went out into the world as an Imam, as a teacher, mocked up
teacher, whatever, teacher Chaplain maybe they realize that
I'm suffering in my fake. I did my fake until RB Jehoram, until my
fourth year, and then since then, I haven't had much touch much, you
know, much connection with it. And even in those four years, I didn't
really work that hard. It was a dry subject. That's why in our
interview process, we had to one of the major questions was, show
us some anecdotal evidence that you've got some relationship with
fifth.
Give us some extra curricular fifth key activity you've done or
some kind of special connection you can prove to us otherwise?
Why are you coming into a dry course? Do you understand?
So a lot of people just want to refresh the effect. So that's why
we established this course that once Slavic German, this will take
place just three days a week in the morning for a 12 four hours a
day, right. And in there, what we will do is
we will
be teaching
a detailed, thick book. So you got the caduti a commentary of the
Golden Globe is a very nice book on Furu. So that way you get
mashallah a good refresher of the chapters you have done and a
number of chapters that you may have not done because not all
modalities complete the book. So for example, Kitab was sciatica.
Kita will, what else?
Some of the books that generic kita
kita Imam Kitab ulu sometimes people haven't covered that nobody
thinks is relevant, or they don't have the time in the year to do
it. So we want to try to cover all of that. So at least you got some
understanding. Number two,
a contemporary Texan also rific. Right? You see the thing about
sort of Shush, it's a wonderful book, but what was sort of Shashi
is, if you remember, was sort of Shashi is formulated are sort of
the Hanafi madhhab, that they show you how to apply, how you develop
them, how they formulated what purpose they, they, therefore,
that's not explained generally. The book is it doesn't start off
on a really basic level, it actually starts on an advanced
level in essence, and then mashallah the challenging style of
the author which you have to get to grasp with otherwise you, you
struggle along until the end of the book, so wonderful book,
otherwise, I loved it.
So what we're doing is we want to do modern azul from a Hanafi
perspective, which we have a wonderful mashallah book by Sheikh
Salah will Hodge is produced this is a commentary of the menar.
Right one of our main Mattoon. So inshallah we're going to do that.
And then an overview of the Hanafi school, how it works and what are
the various components and the various different types of Messiah
within the different levels of scholars and so on is called
multiple multiple Hanafy and then
two other aspects.
One is the evidences of the method, how to look for evidences
of the method because this is a major
An area that a lot of people struggle with today because these
questions do come about what is the proof of this? What is the
proof of that we've got our books, but we just need to bring them
closer to the students and that's what we want to do in Charlotte
Russe, Mariah. And as soon our thought as soon number of books
like that, and
at the end, a coverage of the main contemporary mosyle from the
harlot, Salam zakaat, marriage etc. From the fatawa books, so the
teacher will be collecting those as the most important Messiah
related to hijack modern day Messiah on Hajj, right, modern day
my sign on fasting asthma inhaler. Can you do vaping and fasting and
all of the rest of it and that will be then taught to the
students so there is no Iftar as such, but you become aware
inshallah of the contemporary Messiah. The
whole point is that if you do this course, then as an imam Inshallah,
you won't be lost, because there's going to be issues where you'd
have to consult a Mufti as such, but you will be very much
mashallah prepared by yourself. These are the class times of that
it's a one year class three hours a week, sorry, three classes a
week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 830 to 1230 in the morning. We
were thinking of doing an evening one as well, but we're not sure if
that's going to take place this year. And this one is obviously
available online as well. And that's why we have a number of
people who are interested in signing up
