Makharij ul Huroof: A step by step approach to fixing your pronunciation

December 27, 2020 by Siblings Of Ilm 3 Comments

Words are a string of sounds represented in some languages with symbols that together represent a concept, an object, or a person. In Arabic, three letters with distinct shapes and sounds come together to form the word “heart,” قلب, while at the same time reflecting the nature of the heart; it is easily swayed. Changing any letter in this little parcel will definitely alter the meaning. It is not just so with Arabic, but with English as well, saying “I love roses” is not the same as saying “I love noses.”

Eid-ul-Fitr Under Lockdown

May 23, 2020 by SiblingsOfIlm No Comments

Eid-ul-Fitr is one of the only two annual festivals recognised by the Shari’ah. Due to the current circumstances, Eid al-Fitr 2020 is going to be celebrated in lockdown, which may seem contrary to the spirit of Eid. However, this is not entirely the case. We can still keep the spirit of Eid alive!

10 Steps to Loving Knowledge

February 5, 2020 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Perhaps ‘love of knowledge’ is the most comprehensive description that characterises all truly successful people who seek it. This attribute —if planted within the heart of a student and allowed to take rest and settle —would cause the many obstacles he faces such as: disinterest, lack of time, different distractions and interruptions, etc — to crumble. For all of these issues stem from the same root, and it is the lack of true love of knowledge.

Advice to Fresh Islamic Studies Graduates

August 9, 2019 by Siblings Of Ilm 1 Comment

I graduated from the ʿalim program in 2006. I spent the first few years making all kinds of crazy mistakes. Although I’ve learned from my mistakes over time, I have noticed a trend. In general, a lot of ‘fresh graduates’ make the same mistakes as I did, or even worse mistakes. (Fresh graduate here includes anybody who recently graduated from any ʿalim program or BA in Islamic Studies)

A Guide To A Student’s Holiday

August 5, 2019 by Siblings Of Ilm 1 Comment

By the grace of Allāh, we have been blessed with one of our most long-awaited holidays – the summer break! It’s been a long year, but alhamdulillah, we’ve all made it through, and for this, we need to express our gratitude to Allāh, for He tells us in the Qur’ān:

لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ

“If you are thankful, surely I will increase you”[1]

How much Arabic do you need to Appreciate The Qur’an?

March 25, 2019 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

This question is something that I’ve always wanted to find the answer to. Since starting my journey in learning the Quran and related sciences I’ve always been intrigued by the nature of the Quran and how this book was and is a way of life for Muslims throughout the years.

Importance of Intention in Seeking Knowledge

March 4, 2019 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments
QUESTION

I have been studying Arabic etymology and syntax now for about a year. The problem I face is that the organisation I am with contains brothers who seem to think that knowledge of Islam will create pride in my heart and deviate me from the true path. I even get allot of “name calling” and slogans that really hurt me and affect my passion and thirst for knowledge. What should I do to overcome this….or do they have a point?

Twelve Lessons from Imam Razi for Students of Knowledge

February 18, 2019 by Siblings Of Ilm 1 Comment

Allah Ta’ala mentions in Surah Kahf (18:66) in the story of Musa (‘alayhi ‘s-Salam) when he was instructed by Allah to go and learn from Khadir (‘alayhi ‘s-Salam)

قَالَ لَهُ مُوسَىٰ هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا

Musa (‘alayhi ‘s-Salam) said to him (Khadir), “May I be your follower so that you can teach me a part of what you have been taught for (my) guidance?”

In this verse, Musa (‘alayhi ‘s-Salam) observes a multitude of etiquettes when seeking knowledge from Khadir (‘alayhi ‘s-Salam)
