Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Courses Ifta Specialisation Program (‘takhasus fi lifta wa lfiqh’) 2018 19

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
