The importance of studying under an Ustadh

January 4, 2018 by Siblings Of Ilm 3 Comments

To acquire knowledge under the expertise and guidance of a fully qualified ʿĀlim of Dīn is absolutely essential. Failure to do so generally results in absolute misguidance. This has been the practice of our pious predecessors and even the Ambiyā عليهم السلام.

Scholars, Students of Knowledge, and Poverty

January 4, 2018 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Question:

How does a Muslim scholar, serious student, and others who have devoted their lives to the service of Islam and the Muslims support himself/herself? I ask because this is perhaps one of the main reasons why parents don’t wish for their children to become scholars of Islam — they are usually poor, they don’t get paid much at all (if at all), and they attract trouble from different extremist groups.

I come from an upper middle-class family. How can I convince my parents that I can become a Muslim scholar and have sufficient finances to support myself and my family?

The Egyptian Azhari vs. the Indo-Pak Deobandi

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm 2 Comments

This is a brief description of two prominent modern-day Muslim scholars. One is an Egyptian trained at al-Azhar, while the other is Indo-Pak trained at Deoband. The Azhari scholar has a legal approach and legal opinions that categorically contradict those of his Deobandi counterpart. Compare them and witness how they end up speaking about each other. Some of you may find it shocking.

Excerpt From Book

“I have not seen anyone like him – neither before nor after him.”

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Rasulullah ﷺ was neither too tall nor too short. He was of average height. He had a large head which was in proportion to his body. He had a thick beard. His head and beard had about 25 grey hairs. His face was luminous and handsome. Whoever saw his blessed face described it to be luminous like the full moon.

The knowledge is the knowledge

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

The History of Darul Ulūm Deoband [Summary]

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

Darul Ulūm Deoband is located in the city of Deoband in India. Prior to the construction of the madrasah, Deoband only had a small masjid known as the Chatte Wala Masjid. The community would often get together in that musjid and discuss amongst themselves that they had to find a way to help the future generations from the teachings that the British had introduced.

Imam Ahmed and the baker

December 31, 2017 by Siblings Of Ilm No Comments

During his old age, Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal رحمه الله was travelling, when he stopped by a town.

After Isha salah, he wanted to stay the night, in the Masjid. Owing to his humility, he hadn’t introduced himself to anyone, thinking that if he did, he would be welcomed by many people.
