Ahnaf who insist on having their own Hadith method yet teach and study Sahih ‘l-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim… …are like Ahle Hadis who insist on following Hadith but teach and study Al-Hidayah.

*New Book Review Released:* منهج الإمام الطحاوي في دفع التعارض بين النصوص الشرعية من خلال كتابه شرح مشكل الآثار للشيخ حسن بخاري This book is a comprehensive and analytic study of Imām al-Ṭaḥāwīs (d. 321 AH) Sharḥ Mushkil al-Āthār written by Shaykh Ḥasan Bukhārī (b.1975/1395 AH), in which he extracts the imams methodology in reconciling apparent contradictions in sharʿi evidence, and by extension, his legal theory.

There are some reports from Umar ibn 'l-Khattab that he recited the two Surahs together, though those narrrations aren't explicit in them being recited without separation. In another weak (suspended - mu'allaq) narration from Ubayy ibn Ka'b, it is recorded that his Mushaf had no separation between Fil and Quraysh. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-WyrOHEF_lI

Sh. Muhammad al-Ghazali (d. 1996) on reading the Quran without understanding, complaining that this is not the purpose of revelation. (كيف نتعامل مع القرآن الكريم، للشيخ محمد الغزالي)

The ability to understand a concept is different to the ability to make others understand it. These are separate skills. Some people are gifted with the ability to teach and package information in a way that is easily digestible. The Syrian legend Sh. Ali al-Tantawi (d. 1999) is one of those people. Sometimes the inability to explain a concept does indeed come down to not understanding it properly, and this is something students can pick up on very easily. As Sh. Ali al-Tantawi says: If you see a teacher laying out a concept which the students do not understand, and after seeking clarification he does nothing more than repeating what he just said, then know that he has only memorised the concept and not truly understood it. قال الشيخ علي الطنطاوي: إذا أنت رأيت معلّمًا يلقي المسألة فلا يفهمها التلاميذ، فيستوضحونه فيحاول التوضيح فلا يأتي بأكثر مما قال، فاعلم أنّه حفظ المسألة وما فهمها، أو (بالتعبير الجديد) ما هضمها.

For anyone with questions on the choice of text(s), please see the "read more" section where I have attempted to give a more fleshed-out explanation. Besides that, stay tuned for a more detailed overview in some follow-up posts, and (in sha' Allah) a webinar and mock class for anyone interested in getting a better idea of how the courses will be conducted before the start dates of the courses.

Registration Open: Gateways to the Tradition Three Texts in Ḥadīth, Fiqh & Uṣūl al-Fiqh Alḥamdulillāh, three twelve-month courses begin this October, in shāʾ Allāh, taking you through the source of law (ḥadīth), the operating system behind it (uṣūl al-fiqh) and the final product (fiqh). Each course is a stepping stone to more advanced works Classes are live online, with recordings provided to all. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Ḥadīth (pre-Muwaṭṭaʾ): Taqrīb al-Asānīd 🗓 Thursdays, 9:00 PM · starts Thu, Oct 15 416 aḥādīth, primarily legal, revolving around just 16 asānīd: 4 from the Muwaṭṭa' and 12 from Musnad Aḥmad. Prepared by Zayn al-Dīn al-ʿIrāqī (d. 806) for his son Walī al-Dīn (d. 826), the work's brevity, its meticulously-selected narrations, and the limited range of asānīd makes it the ideal introduction to the world of isnād and the textual analysis of ḥadīth. The class will focus on: • ʿIlal and isnād analysis • Applying uṣūl al-fiqh and other sciences in ḥadīth interpretation • Reading Ṭarḥ al-Tathrīb, the author's indispensable commentary on his work. The author(s), along with original observations, organize the commentary by numbering each point discussed (fawā'id) under the ḥadīth, drawing key discussions from major commentaries of ḥadīth, especially the commentaries of the Muwaṭṭaʾ, such as al-Tamhīd and al-Istidhkār, making it a clear and engaging segue to these works. This class is ideal for students who want to begin an academic study of ḥadīth, aspiring to the Muwaṭṭaʾ and the Six Books. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ 2. Fiqh (pre-Hidāyah): Multaqā al-Abḥur 🗓 Wednesdays, 9:00 PM & Sundays, 2:30 PM · starts Wed, Oct 14 This class seeks to use Ibrāhīm al-Ḥalabī's (d. 956) fiqh text to explore the reasoning of the three Ḥanafī imams and the salient features of their fiqh as students often finish a text knowing its rulings, without having grasped the rich fiqh behind them. This work presents the crystallized Ḥanafī tradition in both furū' and taṣhīḥ, relying primarily on the four mutūn muʿtabarah: Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūrī, al-Mukhtār, Wiqāyat al-Riwāyah and Kanz al-Daqāʾiq. Our focus is to map the rulings and divergences of the school onto a consistent framework of ḍawābiṭ, qawāʿid fiqhiyyah, and uṣūl al-fiqh. This is for Ḥanafī students seeking to comprehensively study the furū' of the school. It is a precursor to a thorough study of the Hidāyah. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ 3. Intermediate Uṣūl: Taqrīb al-Wuṣūl 🗓 Saturdays, 2:30 PM · starts Sat, Oct 17 Ibn Juzayy al-Kalbī's (d. 741) Taqrīb al-Wuṣūl, alongside al-Arḍurūmī's (d. 1202) Ḥanafī refinement of it, serves as a midpoint for studying Ḥanafī uṣūl within the wider jumhūr backdrop, underscoring parallels and differences. Our focus: • Concepts before judgements: For example: before "Is the 'āmm qaṭ'ī?": What is an 'āmm? Is it a kullī, a kulliyyah or a kull? What implication does this have on takhṣīṣ (bayan vs. naskh), or qaṭ' and dhann? • The common principles all usulis share, even in their differences • Uṣūl applied in practical case studies This course is for students of any school (especially Ḥanafīs) who want to go through the uṣul tradition in a comprehensive, detailed, and most importantly, applied manner. ━━━━━━━━━━━━ Format • Live online, in English (all times Eastern) • Full access to all recordings • Reading materials • Periodic assesments/quizzes. Fees (USD / month) • 1 course: $25 • 2 courses: $45 (save $5) • All 3 courses: $60 (save $15) Your first payment covers your first month; billing then continues on the 15th of each month from November 15. You'll receive your Telegram class group link right after payment. About the Instructor Waleed Sulaiman memorized the Qurʾān and completed his early studies in Toronto.

Oh no - The Rise of Deownists Begins

Akhlaq, the good type. It not only adds to one’s good deeds but acts as a force multiplier for other deeds.

Imam Abu Hanifah’s ingenuity can be seen in his ability to predict problems and offering solutions for them hundreds of years in advance. Look at his view on إثبات النسب for husbands on long-term journeys in distant lands.

Urm… ok. Let’s take this a little further. Nobody can avoid discombobulation after trying to make sense of أصول الشاشي or المنتخب without downing a pint of 🍺. Next: How he predicted the washing machine. How he endorsed tomato ketchup. And how he encouraged people to take swimming lessons in Baghdad specifically.
