00:00:00 --> 00:00:05
			He was on this with me last time
and here he is today Masha Allah,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:13
			a shear Adrian Kirk is an old
friend from Connecticut. And we
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			he's he's with us again and it's a
pleasure for me to have him
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			involved in our organization, the
even if it's online and not in
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			purpose and in person, but he is
out in Memphis, Tennessee, and
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:28
			he'll be doing the touch weed and
he is a Asha cough touch wheat, he
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			loves the science of Tajweed and
inshallah when you take this class
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:37
			with him, it's actually going to
rub off on you that love of touch.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42
			So let me hand it over to a shear
again, let's start by telling us
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			you know something about when you
started off and what was the
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49
			school like that you went to in
Morocco? What was the what was the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			10th Weed life like and the hips
life I should say? It's more that
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			you are living that life of hips
every single day all day. Just
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			hips Yeah. So
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:04
			so my leg mournful as we get this,
we learn from the lens on salam
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:08
			ala Rasulillah, while Annie or
some demon Lila so
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:14
			yeah, I started. So my 10 week
journey started in Syria, and
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:19
			Damascus, where I spent about four
years. And
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			you know, Syria is known for, you
know, their touch with scholars as
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:29
			well as, you know, the Arabic
language, among other things, but
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			those two are kind of like two of
their really biggest strengths, if
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:38
			you will. And so Tajweed was just
like, readily available, like
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			everywhere, and almost as you
pretty much they had to you, I
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			mean, everywhere, Mashallah. You
can find people to teach to tweet.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			And one thing that I found that
was really awesome, and amazing
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:57
			about the scholars of Shem was
just, they were just so open, and
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:03
			just so giving with their time,
right. And so one example, two of
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			my teachers, one of my teachers,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			my main main teacher, was chef
Ennis and hibbity. In Syria. And
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:16
			then my second teacher was chef,
Salman, a nurse, Dr. Samet, a
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			nurse. And both of them would come
to the masjid in the morning after
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:27
			fajr. And teach for about three
hours straight, right after budget
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			right after the Epcot and
everything like that about three
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			hours straight, anywhere from 75
to like, 100 students who so they
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:37
			will sit and listen. And keep in
mind, you got all these students
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			there. And, you know, you sit
there for an hour, two hours,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:46
			three hours, depending on when you
showed up or whatever. And most of
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			it was listening, which was very
interesting, right? Why the time,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:54
			by the time you started to revive
by time you got to read, you only
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:57
			you might have only read for, you
know, maybe five minutes, you
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			know, 10, maybe at the most if
you're like a really advanced
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			student reading a lot. But that
was it. And then the rest of the
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:10
			time was spent literally listening
to other people recite, make
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:15
			mistakes and get corrected. And
that was just absolutely an
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			absolutely phenomenal experience.
And so from there, so you got in
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			the morning, and the afternoon
between like the holder also time,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:28
			you could go to their places of
work. So Dr. Simon has a medical
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			clinic, he would literally teach
classes at his medical clinic
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:37
			between patient visits. Mashallah,
right? I personally experienced
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			this myself along with a friend of
mine, going there and you wait
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:44
			until he's available, you go into
his office sitting right at his
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:48
			desk, just open your book, start
reading and he'll stop you and
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			start explaining and so on and so
on so forth. If you got a phone
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			call and pause, take the call if
you got a patient Hold on wait a
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:59
			second God, you do need to do come
back continue the class, Chef NS
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			he owned a a tire shop and
children's clothing store. So we
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			go to his clothing store around
the harasser time, same thing in
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			his office, read to him if he has
something to do he do he come back
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:15
			blah, blah. And then in the
evening, around Asia after a short
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			time, shake ins opened his home up
and you could go to his home all
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			in the same day. You could see him
at the masjid go to his shop and
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			then go to his home in the
evening. All just to do to God in
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:31
			heaven as well and have held well
it was it was held with NTP. For
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			most and some we're only doing two
three. And so
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			the opinions of studying in
general in Syria mashallah was the
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			most amazing experience. I
personally haven't seen it
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:46
			anywhere else at on this level,
but I'm sure there are some tools
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:49
			around the world who probably also
do this like the hubba in Yemen. I
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:54
			know they do something similar.
And so that was my journey in
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			Syria. As for Morocco, you know,
they have the modalities it aka
		
00:04:59 --> 00:04:59
			the
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:05
			The traditional Quran schools, I
was in a small town called Kalat
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:09
			Serafina, about an hour or so
outside of Marrakech. And it was,
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			you know, typical Quran school
experience, you know, you memorize
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			everyday, the only differences
they did the board. So we actually
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			wrote the ads on a board, they
call it a load, right in Arabic
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:26
			Lo, Allah, you write it, the ink
is made out of like, you know, a
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27
			vert sheep's wool
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:31
			from a very specific part of the
sheep, it would burn it until it
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			turns into charcoal, and then
crumble it into like dust and then
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			mix it with water, it was actually
kind of oily, which was
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:42
			interesting. And he put a sponge
at the bottom of it of a jar, and
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			pour the ink over the sponge so
that you know it would absorb it.
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:50
			And you made pens out of bamboo
that you cut into the shape of
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			pens, and so on. And then it would
make little canals or whatever in
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:58
			the pendant and to make it absorb
the ink. And then the chef would
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:02
			dictate on you, you will write and
then repeat what you wrote to them
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			and start where he started. And
then he would continue. And you
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:08
			would do like that, then you would
pass the board to him. Once you
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			were finished, he would make sure
you didn't make any writing
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:14
			errors, he would make any
corrections, pass it back to you
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			that you recited to him. And then
and then he listened to make sure
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20
			that he didn't miss anything. And
it was this like back and forth.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23
			Absolutely amazing. Then you would
go off and memorize the whole day.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:27
			And then when you were finished,
you come back, turn the board to
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			face him and recite.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			You know from memory, you made a
mistake, you had to go back and
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:36
			fix it. If not, you washed the
board off. And then you let it
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			dry. And then you started the same
process over the next day. And
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			throughout the day. You just kind
of reviewed along with other with
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:49
			other people. And so that was a
bit of my experience and how many
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:54
			left? Although I have to say I
started in the US, which is in
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			football in Connecticut, so.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			So onto the course.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:07
			So I can share my screen too.
Right? That was Yeah, yeah. So let
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:08
			me see here
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			let me see application window.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			I think that's the document there.
You guys can see my screen.
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:29
			You guys can see my screen.
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:37
			Dr. Shetty. Yep, you're good to
go. Okay. All right. So first
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:40
			things first, the course
materials.
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			Oh, sorry. The last thing is, is
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			here in the US, I studied with
shift, shift,
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			shift from Hamilton OBC.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:56
			That was in Ohio, and he gave like
each other and stuff like that. So
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			people familiar with with him in
that community up there. That's
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:03
			where that's where I got the jazz
as follows.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			So the course materials and the
requirements, pretty simple and
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:13
			straightforward. Number one, you
have to already be able to read
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			Arabic with a certain level of
proficiency, right? Doesn't mean
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			you have to know, you doesn't mean
you have to be like, you know, the
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:25
			most perfect reader and not some
stumble or stammer at all
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:28
			whatsoever. You can have some
stammering some stumbling is fine.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			But my point is, is it can't be a
situation where,
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:36
			you know, the students still is
kind of mixing up quite high
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			Castro Obama said the sukoon that
with this letter, that letter
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			mixing up letters, you know, it's
kind of like, gotta kind of get
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			that stuff
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			in order before coming to the
class because it will, it will
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:52
			slow you down a whole lot if you
have to kind of
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:58
			keep up with you know, just
finishing up learning how to read
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			along with, you know, learning to
read and how to pronounce
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			everything and so on and so forth.
Right? And so we're gonna, so you
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:09
			got to have the ability to reorder
and proficiently with little to no
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			assistance at all whatsoever.
Insha Allah,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:20
			then the next thing is a Earth
many scripts Quran. That's the
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			ones that's like the ones that
come out of Saudi, right? Or
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			anyone that matches that script,
right? The reason is, because that
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:33
			script actually has Tajweed built
into the scripts built into the
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:36
			script. You know, I wish I would
have put an example in this
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:39
			document about that too. But for
example,
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			even the Fatah tan Kasara, tan
llama 10. They're written
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:50
			differently according to what
rules should be applied to. So for
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:53
			instance, those of you have a
little bit of background Hip Hop
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:58
			would have a Titan or Kassala 10
That's perfectly aligned. They're
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			like perfectly lined up right
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			They're right there. And then
like, if fat and it'll harm, for
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			example, that the fat titanicus
for 10 would be kind of offset it
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			will not be perfectly aligned to
be offset. And these are things
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:15
			that they did intentionally, to,
to help the reader be able to
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:20
			identify certain rules visually as
well, right? And then Obama 10,
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			you know, so on. And so one has
the Dhamma with the line versus
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			the two bombers, these are all
according to the touch rule to
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			touch weed rules. So the earth
manuscript has wheat built into
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:35
			the script, whereas the, the South
Asian script like the ODU, like
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			script, Persians, or whatever, I
don't know the official name for
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:43
			it, but that one does not have to
be built into the script. And so
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:47
			it really helps to have that with
many must have. And when I say
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:50
			dedicated most half, what I mean
is, you want to use the same one.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			For all classes, it's just better,
you know, it's just better to use
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			it, you know, just for the sake of
consistency, and, you know, pages
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			and page number of being the same
placement of the verses are all in
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:05
			the same place. So you know, you
know, so it's not caused any
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:10
			confusion, you know, later on, and
so I really do recommend a
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:15
			dedicated must have that you bring
to every single class insha Allah
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:20
			The next thing is I said, bundles
of humility, right? Takes a lot of
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			it takes a lot of humility to
really get through to me. It's a
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25
			real good
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:31
			way to like shatter one's neffs
and really tame one's neffs why is
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			that because we start off with the
bare bones basics right? And when
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			you've been doing something for so
long, like reciting Quran reciting
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:41
			Surah Fatiha for example, and then
someone says Alright, now let's
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			start with Fatiha number one, you
got to have some humility to be
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:46
			like, alright, bet let's start
with fat. Yeah. Bismillah most
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:50
			people are like, Well, I think I
know fat. Yeah, right. Well, let's
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:54
			see. Let's see how well you know
five. Yeah. So we start with five.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:58
			Yeah, you recite that? And we go
from there. Right? And so that's
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			number one. But then if you start
to realize, oh, wow, I'm making
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:04
			I'm making mistakes. I made the
second mistake. I made a third,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			fourth fifth. Oh, my God, my fatty
has all messed up and I've been
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			Muslim my whole entire life.
Relax, it's okay. It's okay.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			Right. But you gotta be gotta have
a certain level of humility to be
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16
			able to,
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:20
			you know, to be able to handle
that you got to be okay with that.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:23
			You know what I'm saying? And then
finally, just that repetition,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:27
			repetition, repetition, go back,
do it again. Go back, do it again.
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			You know, it just takes some
humility to do that. And the next
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:36
			one, I said, Man, patience, right?
That's just me like, just being
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:38
			funny, right? A lot of patience.
You got to have a whole lot of
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			patience. Because it may be that
you don't perfect your Fatiha for
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			months. Allahu Allah, right. I
knew that I mean, even even even
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:51
			Arabs, right? I knew they were
Arabs in the in Syria, people who
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:53
			are Syrian, right, who would be on
Fatiha for three and four months
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:58
			straight before Shabbat let them
events, right. So this is not a
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			thing of you know, anyone has an
advantage over the other tidge
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:04
			Wheat is a science, you don't
study it, you're not going to
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:06
			master it. It's as simple as that.
So I don't care where you from, I
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			don't care what your background
is, I don't care what language you
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			speak. It doesn't matter. Touch
wheat is its own thing. Quran is
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:15
			its own thing. It is unique,
Masha, Allah is the book of Allah,
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			and it needs to be studied, it
needs to be studied in order to
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			understand it, or even properly
recite it. So if you don't study
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			it, you're not going to master
it's as simple as that. And so you
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:28
			got to have a lot of patience, you
know, might be a while before you
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			really get your Fatiha tight. And
that's okay. You just got to be
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:35
			okay with that and just keep it
keep it trucking. The next thing
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			is, you got to have some serious
listening skills. You got to
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			really, really, really, really
listen not only to your own
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			recitation, but to the recitation
of others. I always tell people
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:47
			Tajweed is one of those things.
It's one of those subjects that
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:52
			having one on one with a teacher
is not actually like bragging
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:55
			rights. You know, a lot of people
say, Yeah, I got private classes,
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			wishing someone so it's just me
and him, me and her, you know, and
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:01
			that's it. What would touch me
there's not necessarily an
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:04
			advantage, that's a disadvantage.
You want other people in your
		
00:14:04 --> 00:14:07
			touch weak class, you want to hear
other people reciting. You want to
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			hear other people getting
corrected, because that helps you.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13
			It actually helps you remember
what I said in the beginning, we
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:16
			would sit there and we'd only read
for five to 10 minutes max, but
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			then the other two hours, three
hours was spent listening to
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			others, and that was the majority
of the benefit that we got was
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:29
			actually hearing hearing others be
recite and be corrected. And then
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			so you know, it's just it's a
different you know, it's really a
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:34
			different a different experience.
You have some really good
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			listening skills. And another
thing about the humility tunes
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:42
			kind of goes back to the humility
you'll develop a very keen ear for
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			good touch me important totally
right. And so you got to be able
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:51
			to be humble enough to withhold
and refrain from pointing out that
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:56
			people have bad taste we because
in the beginning, you might not be
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:58
			able to pick up right you hear
somebody have a beautiful voice
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			touch we use all Jack
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			thought, right? But you don't know
that you just hear the beautiful
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:05
			voice, you don't have an ear for
Tajweed you just have an ear for,
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:09
			you know, beautiful voices, right?
which most of us do, right. And so
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			all of a sudden, you start
studying Tajweed in depth, I
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:17
			promise you guaranteed, you're
going to develop a very keen ear
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:22
			for for a 10th week, good Ted
wheat, imported wheat. And so it's
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:26
			gonna be tempting to be like, Man,
I gotta fight. Here's my stuff.
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			Oh, man, a guy was messing up all
kinds of stuff. He wasn't doing
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:31
			any color. He wasn't doing any
this.
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			Got it got it got to be able to
tone it down. Don't talk about
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			anybody's touch we
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:41
			did anybody else, keep it to
yourself, keep it to yourself, and
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:44
			just use it as motivation for you
to, you know, kind of stay on top
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			of yourself. And to help them
perhaps use it as motivation to
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:52
			teach, right? Maybe offer your
services to the person and you
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			know, after you get to a certain
level, say, Hey, listen, you know,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			I'm doing some test week classes,
you want to join this Mala. And so
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:02
			use it to lift people up not to
break people down, not tear people
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			down. So we got to stay humble and
shot a lot throughout this
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:08
			experience. And last but not
least, in terms of requirements
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			and course material, a great sense
of humor. I'm a jokester, I joke a
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:16
			lot, you know what I'm saying. But
then you also have the, the part
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:21
			of like I said in the video, in
order for me to give you an idea
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:26
			of, of why I'm correcting you, I
have to repeat what you say Right?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			And so it might sound like I'm
mocking you, but I'm actually not
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:32
			right. And this is no mind you.
I'm just teaching the way I was
		
00:16:32 --> 00:16:35
			taught this, how almost all my
teachers taught me, they would
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:40
			repeat what you say, right? And
then and then say it the right
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:46
			way. And so I might say, okay, you
don't say you know, F which is F
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:51
			wadge. Right, f y j not if we're
just FYI, Jack, but I'm not making
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:55
			fun of you. I'm telling you, this
is what I hear. Right? And this is
		
00:16:55 --> 00:17:00
			what I want you to say. But then
in general, too, I tend to just
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			joke you know, I poke fun
sometimes I'm not picking on
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:06
			people, I'm not a bully, right.
But I just I mess with people once
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			in a while and my class you know,
kind of keeps the keeps everything
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:12
			kind of upbeat and, and not so
dry, you know, but it's just a
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:15
			part of my personality. If you
don't like it, just telling me
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:18
			hey, man, like we joke on me and
I'll just, I'll be I'll joke with
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			everybody else but you I'll be
driving you
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			the next thing is the goal the
goal is getting close to Allah
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			subhanaw taala right through
getting our text weekend tight,
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			simple as that right, we want to
get our test weekend tight,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:40
			because we want to preserve the
the Quran or contribute to the
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			preservation of the Quran through
reciting it properly as well as
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			memorizing but for those of us who
find difficulty in memorizing
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			right, then this is one way you
can contribute heavily as well is
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			through preserving the proper
recitation and passing that on to
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:58
			future generations in sha Allah.
So
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:02
			we'll begin with definitions of
Twitch we're both literal and
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:05
			technical history of Twitch we
ruling of Twitch we the virtue of
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			reciting for our stage being as
well as etiquette with the Quran
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:13
			in general, what you should do
before to prepare reciting Quran
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:18
			during the recitation of Quran as
well as, after studying the Quran,
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			which obviously, obviously,
Afters, you know, it just means,
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:24
			like, you know, once you reach a
certain level, there's
		
00:18:24 --> 00:18:27
			expectations, but like, or not
sort of level, once you're on the
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			journey, period, once you start
it, you know, there's certain
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			expectations that are upon us, but
I'm gonna show you how much time I
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			got my finish kit? No, keep going,
whatever you need to say. All
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:39
			right, yeah, I'm almost done
anyways. So then.
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:46
			And then once we get past all the,
you know, those preliminary
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			things, you know, that's all
important. You know, whenever
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			studying the Islamic sciences,
you'll see a pattern of that, you
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			know, going over the definitions
is really important to understand
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:59
			what it is that you're studying,
right? So that you haven't so
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:02
			you're not caught off guard, why
are we why are we covering this?
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:04
			Why is he doing that? Why is he
nitpicking here? Why is he why
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:07
			why? Well, when we do all that
preliminary stuff, it knocks all
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:13
			that confusion out and gives you a
clear idea as to why everything is
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			the way that it is. And so the
next phase after that class, we
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			will start with the theory right?
We'll start learning the theory
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			and then applying right away. So
the way it's going to be is we're
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:24
			going to do two classes a week,
we're going to be Thursday and
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			Sunday, right? So on Thursday,
let's say for example, on the
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:31
			first day of the of the week, that
we do have the two days, we're
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:35
			going to study theory, and then
the next class, we're going to do
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:36
			drills to
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:42
			help us apply the rule that we
learned in the previous class. As
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:48
			we progress we'll be you'll be
expected to apply more and more of
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			the rules that we learned. So say
for example, we we learned the
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			harm in the first in the first
week, we're going to learn the
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			theory right? What is it what does
it mean? How to identify
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			So on and so forth, look for
examples in the Quran on our own
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:06
			kind of split up, you know, take
some time for ourselves, find it
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			in the Quran, share our examples
with each other, make mistakes get
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:12
			corrected, gives us a better
understanding, right? Next class,
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:16
			all right, we're reciting, boom,
we're going to try to, you know,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:21
			I'm going to hold you accountable
for being able to apply that that
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:26
			rule, right based on our previous
class. And then the next time
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:30
			we'll do let's say, of heart, and
then the next application class,
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:33
			I'm going to expect it the harm
and harm, and then the next
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			application class, it will harm
your heart and epilepsy. And and
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:39
			so each time we go in and build
up, so by the time you're
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:45
			finished, you'll be expected to be
able to at least identify as well
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:48
			as apply at least to a certain
level, right? Because everybody's
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			at different levels, not
everybody's gonna be at the same
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:52
			level with it in this class,
right? But at least you're going
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			to have an idea of how to apply it
properly, at the very least, if
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:59
			not master in sha Allah, right.
But you have an idea of how to
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			apply it. And also you'll be able
to identify it right? And so you
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:05
			just be held accountable for more
and more, the more that we learn,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			whatever we don't learn, you won't
be held accountable for it until
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:11
			we learn it. But the very, very
beginning, we will go back to the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			basics just really quickly kind of
breeze through right you see in
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			this chart here that I have this
chart with bat, right? This is bat
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:24
			in 12 different ways, right? First
one, you got bat with Fatah.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:30
			Kosala dama. Then you have it with
the Oh, I missed one Subhanallah I
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			didn't add one more. So it's
actually going to be more than 12.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:36
			It's 12 gonna be 15. So we have
Fatah Castle Adama do you have
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:40
			aleafia. And wow, you have the bow
was to * preceded by for
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:44
			tigers, Obama. And then you have
the bow with Shedders as well
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			preceded by Fatshark, Hassan
Dhamma. And you also obviously
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:49
			going to have back with
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:54
			the 10 win, but Tatanka so turned
on by 10. Right. So what's the
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			significance of this? Why why we
got to go back to this, don't we
		
00:21:56 --> 00:21:59
			do this by the neuron here? Why
don't we learn this one? We're
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:03
			like five years old? Yes. Okay,
fine. However, you didn't do it.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			Most people, not all people some
of you might have, but most people
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			did not do it with necessarily
with Tajweed in mind, we did it
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:14
			with reading the Quran in mind. So
it's different, right? So I might
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:20
			be able to say babby, boo, Babbie,
boo, EBIT, EBIT, Uber, EB bat, FB,
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:25
			a boo and all other variations
that can happen to that Ben being
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:28
			born right. All that was bad
perfectly. Try it with the aim.
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:33
			Right. Some people can say I have
no problem. But some people have a
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			really hard time saying he was
with Obama was Kessler. Excuse me.
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:40
			Some people have a hard time
saying Oh,
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:44
			with with with Obama, right? The
iron was dumb. I have a hard time
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:49
			saying some people can say i Oh,
no problem. But then you tell them
		
00:22:49 --> 00:22:49
			say
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:56
			with sukoon difficulty, I might
say no problem. But then I say
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:59
			yeah, I might have a problem with
that one with Sycuan preceded by
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:03
			Kessler, then you say or I might
have difficulty saying that one.
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:10
			Or I can say all six of those. But
then then I say falou Lima UD fi
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:17
			Ay, ay, ay oh, right. I might have
difficulty saying it with with
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:21
			shed them. So how do we figure
that out by drilling ourselves
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:26
			with all of the letters in all of
these various formats to see where
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			our weaknesses are. So once we are
able to identify our weaknesses,
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:34
			boom, we're able to hone in and
Inshallah, fix those things. So
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:39
			we're not going to spend like,
half the semester on that. But I
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			definitely want to bring it back
to the basics in sha Allah. And
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:46
			most of that will be kind of self
study. And you can contact me and
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:49
			we can kind of, you know, if you
need and go over, and so on and so
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			forth. I can even recreate, I'm
sorry, create some recordings of
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:56
			it. So you can practice with the
recordings, and so on and so
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:00
			forth. Insha Allah, but we will go
back to the basics, and we will be
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			talking about some of them hostage
as well. It's not good to just
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			skip things just because all most
of us have done this. No, we're
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			going to go through the basics.
We're going to do Maharjan rules
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:11
			again. Yes, we're gonna talk about
the letters of the throat and the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			tongue in the and if you did this,
it's okay. Like I said in the
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:18
			other video with the patent on the
podcast with Dr. Shadi if you are
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:22
			already proficient in this, but
perhaps never taught it right or
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:25
			don't have much experience
teaching it use that as an
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:30
			opportunity to learn how you can
teach that material to other
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:34
			people. Because at the end of the
day, why are we studying touch we
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:38
			only to improve ourselves not to
pass it on as well. Why are we
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			studying Quran only for ourselves?
No. So we can pass it on teach it
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			to our kids teach it to our
community members, maybe teach it
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:47
			to our parents, right? We want to
teach as many people as we
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			possibly can, but we first want to
learn it. Learn it ourselves
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:55
			right? And so you know the promise
of sudden said fatal comenta I
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			lemon for an hour I lemme the best
of you. Are those are is the one
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			who
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			We'll learn the code for N and
teaches it. Right. So in order for
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			us to be high runners, right or
the best of people, it's not
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			enough for us to just learn it on
our own. We got to be ready to
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:13
			teach it. So yeah, I know this
already. Okay, have you ever
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:18
			taught it? If not, Bismillah? Take
notes on how it's being taught and
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			try to use that in sha Allah.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:26
			When teaching others, let me see
here, if it's anything else,
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:27
			right?
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			Yeah, so everything else I pretty
much explained. So that's pretty
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			much it. So from the left, that's
pretty much what our classes gonna
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			be like, you know, it's going to
be basically theory, one day
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:43
			application the next day. And
pretty much simple like that. And
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:49
			then if somebody had asked to, if,
are we going to do any kind of one
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:50
			on one,
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			Quran training or anything of that
nature? Yes, in sha Allah at the
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:02
			end of the Application class,
especially, we will inshallah have
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:06
			one on one, you know, between me
and various students in sha Allah,
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:10
			we will have one on one recitation
with firstly can recite, and I'll
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			correct them and everyone else
will listen, and you take turns
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:16
			doing that, however, the class is
not that long. So we'll be
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			limited, right. And so what we can
do is some days after we've
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			studied a certain amount, so that
we can focus and hone in on
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:27
			application, we might, I can
dedicate some, like whole classes
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:31
			from the beginning to just
application so as many people can
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			read as possible Sunday, you might
just come on Bismillah let's get
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			started. Alright, who's here,
who's gonna get started boom
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			Bismillah. Let's start Fatiha. Now
as follow up, whatever the case
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			may be right, recite. And then
we're going to go through, just
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:48
			like that in sha Allah. But we
might end there might the last
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			thing I'll say is there might be
days, where maybe only four or
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:55
			five people can read it, it might
be 20 people, 30 people in the
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:58
			class, right? And might only be
like, who knows four or 567 or so
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:01
			people be able to read and people
be able to read this class. And
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:05
			the next time we'll be in another
class, and so on and so forth. So
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:09
			I think that's everything. If
anybody has any questions, you
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:13
			guys can direct it to Safina
society. And I can get back with
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:18
			him shortly. I hope. So. Thank you
very much. And I told you, no one
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			teaches a two week class that's
more energized than a serious two
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:27
			week class. I remember even taking
you you conducted a class on way
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:31
			to in the car to Boston on
Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			And a ton of people actually
didn't never set it. Right. Right.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			They had never actually been
taught about the customer and how
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:44
			deep the customer actually should
be. So the shears class is going
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			to be full of energy. But like he
said, it's very most important
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:50
			thing he said, is that you don't
learn to read only when you're
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			reciting. You learn to read when
you're listening as well. So if
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			there's 10, there, 10 people in
the class, you're learning by
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:01
			listening to their mistakes as
well, not just one year reciting.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			And this is important for
everybody to know, because I
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:08
			remember myself conducting Tajweed
classes in which students would be
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:13
			sitting, waiting, texting,
thinking that that's not part of
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			the education until and they say I
only recited two ideas. Come on,
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:21
			it's not fair. It doesn't work
like that you learn as much by
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:24
			listening as you do by reciting so
that's the most important point
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:30
			from a shares presentation from
that collection. And so now shares
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			we start next Sunday, but
remember, shears class meets
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			Saturday and Thursday. So your
first class will actually be on
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			the 20 234 25th Oh, Thursday,
Saturday, sorry, Thursday,
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:46
			Saturday, so we start on Sunday,
but shears first class will be on
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:51
			the 25th. Thursday the 25th. Okay,
and then meet again on the 27th
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:55
			Alright, so those are the classes
now for us now for us. Your youth
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:00
			could take the class too. Yeah.
Yeah, so Yes, yours class is the
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:05
			crossover between the youth and
the adults. Yeah, son, son,
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:09
			daughter, mother, father mix.
Auntie uncle grandma grandpa,
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:13
			everybody can go together as long
as the person can doesn't stutter
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:16
			over letters and tissue you got to
know you got to know just go
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19
			directly to the letters know that
to steal at least like really
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			well, if you stammer, it's
alright. But you got to learn
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:26
			those things like get that like
real tight before joining the
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:29
			class. It'll be an easier
experience for you. Okay, thank
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:31
			you so much for sure. Does that
gloves gonna
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			like themselves? Alright, so a
shears class is the crossover
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			between youth and adults.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			Did we freeze or what? Are we
good? So a shares class is a
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			crossover. A youth could take it,
adults can take it. Now we shift
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			over now to
