Arabic For Beginners
Most of us encounter Arabic in the written form and long for the ability to understand the script we recite. This 40 week course will focus on enabling students to understand classical Arabic as encountered in the Quran, Hadith and other sources.
Sins of the Limbs
"On the Day (Day of Resurrection) when their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them as to their actions." Quran (24:24)
This course will cover part two of Al Ghazali’s Beginning of Guidance on how to guard against the sins of the eyes, ears, tongue, stomach, hands and feet.
Islamic Wills & Testaments
"It is prescribed, when death approaches any of you, if he leaves any goods, that he makes bequest to parents and next of kin, according to reasonable usage; this is due from those mindful of God." Qur'an 2: 80.
In this verse, writing a last Will before death was made obligatory on all Muslims. This was, of course, before the details of the inheritance system were sent down to the messenger of Allah, Muhammad in Surah 4. However, the Prophet is reported by Ibn Umar to have said: "It is not right for any Muslim person who has anything to bequeath that he may pass even two nights without having his Will written" (Bukhari and Muslim). Thus, according to the great majority of Muslim scholars writing a Will is highly recommended.
