00:00:01 --> 00:00:05
			So first if we start off with the
if tacos Hamdulillah? I would say
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09
			that the if the student says some
of you are here, how many on
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			average? How many questions on
average would you have? Would you
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			say you've done during the year?
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18
			There's about 650 question, which
is an immense amount of question
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			that that average is about
probably about four to five
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			questions a day, I would say.
Right, because although we are
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			doing more, but then in the
beginning, we may have been doing
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:30
			less than that. So probably about
four to six questions a day to be
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:36
			that that requires a lot of
research. And if I think you can
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:42
			read lots of books, but what I've
seen that's beneficial is that you
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:45
			actually practice the questions
because that as a Mufti is what
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			you're going to be doing outside.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			You may be then told to go and
teach hidayah. And, generally,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			it's the movies that are given
hidayah to teach in a madrasah.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			Right. Generally speaking,
especially high authority for
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			whatever the case is. So that's
just the side aspect of it, to be
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			honest, I think,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			because the reason why they
probably given who they are, and
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:10
			so on is probably because they've
developed a keen juris juridical
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:14
			insight, how to break things down
in a juridical manner. Because
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:18
			when you have a case, the best way
to figure out what the how to
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			answer it, is to break it down
into its juridical components that
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			are that are
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			related to jurisprudence, and then
to legislate, and try to
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			understand the outcome of each
one. Otherwise, if you look at it
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:37
			in a wholesome manner in as a
whole in a monolithic way, then
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			you could have a wrong response.
So sometimes there's only one
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			small issue that's
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48
			critical in that. So aside from
that, really what you're going to
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			be doing outside is people are
going to be constantly coming to
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			you emailing you calling you and
saying what's the answer this?
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:57
			What's the answer to that? And
they want answers. So obviously,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00
			in one year, even if you've done
1000 questions, it's not enough.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			And even if you do 2000 questions
in two years, it's not enough
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:07
			because that won't cover all the
questions that you will be asked
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:10
			outside. But it will give you a
good understanding of how to deal
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			with those questions and how to go
and research it. And if you've
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:19
			done about 1500 to 2000 questions
in two years, then inshallah you
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			will, especially when we're doing
most of the common questions, by
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			the time you leave, by the time
you finish, you would have
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			you'd basically be able to deal
with at least half of the
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			questions directly, immediately
because those would have been
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			covered and then then the rest of
them. Right. So Hamdulillah that
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:40
			save time. So basically, just for
next year, what we're doing is the
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			first year we covered a book on a
soul fit we covered a book, we
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:48
			covered part of the ashba Ashleigh
one novella on the cover. We cover
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			the book on pseudo fake masala
Lulu in Minnesota it which I
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			thought was very good for even
understanding contemporary themes
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:00
			in jurisprudence, and that was
actually done by the jurisprudence
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			people as well.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:07
			Along with that, we've done our
pseudo Lifta and the short ruku
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:11
			decimal mufti, etc. Next year,
Inshallah, we're just going to
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			focus on more advanced books and
earlier books on also rific. On
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			sorrel, if the, so we're going to
try to understand what sort of
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			lift from a Shafi perspective,
from a Maliki perspective, just to
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:26
			give us an understanding, because
we are living amongst other
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:31
			motherhood, we're not in a just
homogenous month hub environment,
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			living in London or any other city
primarily. I mean, you're you're
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			dealing with many Muslims around
you. Right? So it's important to
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			know that, and I would say that
there's probably not going to be
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			many difference in the adverb of
Iftar among them anyway. And then
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:49
			the later also the earlier or
schoolbooks where the suit is
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:53
			generally taken from the school of
business that way, and surrogacy
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:55
			and though so we're going to be
looking at that, and then we're
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			also inshallah going to be looking
at some of the more modern
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			approaches to FIQ, minority fic,
right.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:06
			Sinner actual fatawa.
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			In contemporary times, basically
formulating fatawa, and
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			contemporary times in the
contemporary challenges, whether
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			we agree with something or not,
that's we can't we don't want to
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			dismiss things just because we
don't, we don't like the person
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			who said it, or they may not be
from our manager, whatever the
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			case is, we we want to actually be
able to go through that and
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			critically assess these things and
find what's useful. And then if we
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			disagree with something, or we
disagree with it, but at least we
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			can take the useful. And it's very
important for movies to be ahead
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:39
			of that challenge. And that's why
those things inshallah will be
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			covered along with a
specialization. So this is the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:45
			year of specialization, because
this is the students will be
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			entering the second year. So it's
the time of specialization where
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			we've got the eight areas in which
there'll be picking at least one
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			of those areas and then thoroughly
inshallah working on then
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			providing a thesis producing a
thesis on that. But what we do
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			have is that
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			Initially, we thought that we're
only going to run the Iftaar
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			course every two years. So let it
run its full two year course and
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			then start a new batch. But we're
trialing something this year,
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			which may or may come as good news
for some of you, because many of
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:19
			you have contacted contacted us
during the year that they want to
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			join the Iftar class in the coming
year from September. And we were
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			just saying to everybody, no,
there's going to be no effect, of
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:32
			course, until 2019, which is next
year. But we've decided that we
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:36
			may be able to try this and make
this work. So we're trying to look
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:39
			for some really outstanding
students who feel that they've got
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:44
			the capability to join the Iftar
class in their second year. Right
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			meaning the current Iftaar course
is second year, and we will give
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:50
			them some preliminary material to
help them because
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:56
			I don't think it should be too
difficult for those who are quite
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:01
			motivated and quite academically
adept in sha Allah so that they
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:04
			can do the second year as their
first year
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			as the as as the first year of
their course. And then they can do
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:14
			the second year which will be the
first year material again the year
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			afterwards. So inshallah I'm
hoping that works we've at least
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			got
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:21
			at least got two students
inshallah for that but we can
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			probably take one or two more
maybe, right so if that's if
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			you're interested, then this is
probably the time to put your
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			application in for that in sha
Allah
