Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Advanced Islamic Jurisprudence Program at Whitethread Institute

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
