So first if we start off with the if tacos Hamdulillah? I would say
that the if the student says some of you are here, how many on
average? How many questions on average would you have? Would you
say you've done during the year?
There's about 650 question, which is an immense amount of question
that that average is about probably about four to five
questions a day, I would say. Right, because although we are
doing more, but then in the beginning, we may have been doing
less than that. So probably about four to six questions a day to be
that that requires a lot of research. And if I think you can
read lots of books, but what I've seen that's beneficial is that you
actually practice the questions because that as a Mufti is what
you're going to be doing outside.
You may be then told to go and teach hidayah. And, generally,
it's the movies that are given hidayah to teach in a madrasah.
Right. Generally speaking, especially high authority for
whatever the case is. So that's just the side aspect of it, to be
honest, I think,
because the reason why they probably given who they are, and
so on is probably because they've developed a keen juris juridical
insight, how to break things down in a juridical manner. Because
when you have a case, the best way to figure out what the how to
answer it, is to break it down into its juridical components that
are that are
related to jurisprudence, and then to legislate, and try to
understand the outcome of each one. Otherwise, if you look at it
in a wholesome manner in as a whole in a monolithic way, then
you could have a wrong response. So sometimes there's only one
small issue that's
critical in that. So aside from that, really what you're going to
be doing outside is people are going to be constantly coming to
you emailing you calling you and saying what's the answer this?
What's the answer to that? And they want answers. So obviously,
in one year, even if you've done 1000 questions, it's not enough.
And even if you do 2000 questions in two years, it's not enough
because that won't cover all the questions that you will be asked
outside. But it will give you a good understanding of how to deal
with those questions and how to go and research it. And if you've
done about 1500 to 2000 questions in two years, then inshallah you
will, especially when we're doing most of the common questions, by
the time you leave, by the time you finish, you would have
you'd basically be able to deal with at least half of the
questions directly, immediately because those would have been
covered and then then the rest of them. Right. So Hamdulillah that
save time. So basically, just for next year, what we're doing is the
first year we covered a book on a soul fit we covered a book, we
covered part of the ashba Ashleigh one novella on the cover. We cover
the book on pseudo fake masala Lulu in Minnesota it which I
thought was very good for even understanding contemporary themes
in jurisprudence, and that was actually done by the jurisprudence
people as well.
Along with that, we've done our pseudo Lifta and the short ruku
decimal mufti, etc. Next year, Inshallah, we're just going to
focus on more advanced books and earlier books on also rific. On
sorrel, if the, so we're going to try to understand what sort of
lift from a Shafi perspective, from a Maliki perspective, just to
give us an understanding, because we are living amongst other
motherhood, we're not in a just homogenous month hub environment,
living in London or any other city primarily. I mean, you're you're
dealing with many Muslims around you. Right? So it's important to
know that, and I would say that there's probably not going to be
many difference in the adverb of Iftar among them anyway. And then
the later also the earlier or schoolbooks where the suit is
generally taken from the school of business that way, and surrogacy
and though so we're going to be looking at that, and then we're
also inshallah going to be looking at some of the more modern
approaches to FIQ, minority fic, right.
Sinner actual fatawa.
In contemporary times, basically formulating fatawa, and
contemporary times in the contemporary challenges, whether
we agree with something or not, that's we can't we don't want to
dismiss things just because we don't, we don't like the person
who said it, or they may not be from our manager, whatever the
case is, we we want to actually be able to go through that and
critically assess these things and find what's useful. And then if we
disagree with something, or we disagree with it, but at least we
can take the useful. And it's very important for movies to be ahead
of that challenge. And that's why those things inshallah will be
covered along with a specialization. So this is the
year of specialization, because this is the students will be
entering the second year. So it's the time of specialization where
we've got the eight areas in which there'll be picking at least one
of those areas and then thoroughly inshallah working on then
providing a thesis producing a thesis on that. But what we do
have is that
Initially, we thought that we're only going to run the Iftaar
course every two years. So let it run its full two year course and
then start a new batch. But we're trialing something this year,
which may or may come as good news for some of you, because many of
you have contacted contacted us during the year that they want to
join the Iftar class in the coming year from September. And we were
just saying to everybody, no, there's going to be no effect, of
course, until 2019, which is next year. But we've decided that we
may be able to try this and make this work. So we're trying to look
for some really outstanding students who feel that they've got
the capability to join the Iftar class in their second year. Right
meaning the current Iftaar course is second year, and we will give
them some preliminary material to help them because
I don't think it should be too difficult for those who are quite
motivated and quite academically adept in sha Allah so that they
can do the second year as their first year
as the as as the first year of their course. And then they can do
the second year which will be the first year material again the year
afterwards. So inshallah I'm hoping that works we've at least
got
at least got two students inshallah for that but we can
probably take one or two more maybe, right so if that's if
you're interested, then this is probably the time to put your
application in for that in sha Allah
