STUDY CLASSICAL ARABIC
Study Matn Al-Ajurrumiyyah Online
Ustadh Abdus Shakur Brooks is starting a class in classical Arabic covering the famous text Al-Ajurrumiyyah written by the 8th century Hijri scholar, by the name of Ibn Ajurrum. This text is pretty much used universally as a primary study of Arabic grammar. It covers the necessary elements of the language one needs to know in order to understand Arabic sentence structures which is the key to sound comprehension for other religious sciences. This class will consist of a reading of the Arabic text with simultaneous English translation; commentary with equally be in English and Arabic. Focus will be given to understanding technical terms as they are understood in Arabic, rather than using their English equivalents; such an approach hinders the student from comprehending the full spectrum of Arabic grammatical terminology as the did the Grammarians who conceived of texts such as these.
All of the live classes will be recorded and downloadable for students. Students will also have access to an e-studentroom which will consist of a Q&A blog and other features allowing them direct contact with the teacher. A PDF. file of the text will be provided for all students, who do not possess a hardcopy.
To benefit from this class, students should have basic reading, writing and grammatical skills in the Arabic language. Basic grammatical skills include recognizing the difference between a basic verb “f’il” and a noun “ism” for example.
The ultimate aim of the class is to provide the students with the tools to help them understand classical Arabic texts comprehensively.
Each session will consist of two 30-40 minute lessons with a 10 minute break in between.

Changing Our Condition
إِنَّ اللّهَ لاَ يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ
Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change that which is in their hearts. (13:11)
In this short session we will be summarizing the main concepts mentioned in Hamza Yusuf and Zaid Shakir’s Agenda to Change Our Condition.
We will discuss the current state of our condition, why we must change this condition, Taqwa as the heart of change, and the importance of knowledge for change.
The session will provide a practical framework that illustrates the necessary steps required for change and how to go about fulfilling each step in a timely and systematic fashion.

Getting Married: Clear and Practical Guidance for Success
THE ILM FOUNDATION AND SEEKERS GUIDANCE
PROUDLY PRESENT:
GETTING MARRIED: Clear and Practical Guidance for Success!
Sunday, September 26, 11am-5pm
At this one day seminar being held in Montreal, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani will discuss the act of marriage and take attendees through the recommended processes for this spiritual act, in the context of modern life in North America. This seminar is highly recommended for those wanting to get married, parents with children of marriage age, and anyone wishing to understand the guidance and wisdom of the Qur’an and Sunna with respect to getting married.
The seminar will cover:
- Why marriage is half of religion, and the many religious aims and worldly benefits of marriage
- How to choose your spouse–covering issues such as arranged marriage vs love marriage, parental preferences vs personal choice, dealing with the “must be a doctor syndrome”
- Involving parents in the best way–including how to convince them when they’re not agreeing, when to insist and when to consider conceding
- Marriage ceremonies–adhering to Qur’an and Sunna, while considering custom and family traditions
- The marriage contract–securing rights, agreeing on key concerns, and setting the right tone & spirit
- Realizing that marriage is, ultimately, a tremendous spiritual act.
The seminar will include extensive time for related Questions & Answers, so come prepared with questions.

What they said:
“Sheikh Faraz’s seminar truly stands out amongst marriage seminars because of it focus on practical issues. He addresses topical issues ranging from the demands of parents to personal expectation when seeking a spouse. His examples resonated with the crowd while still maintaining the significance of this important step in one’s life.” ( Br. Nafay Choudhury, Getting Married seminar attendee, Toronto)
“Every important topic was discussed, from the proper intention to have when marrying, to marriage contract considerations, as well as many other central issues… It was refreshing to have an Islamic scholar who not only knows the Islamic tradition, but also has the wisdom to give practical advice to Muslims in West on how to find a spouse and have a successful marriage” (Br. Abdul Razak, Getting Married seminar attendee, Maryland)
“The content covered was very detailed and beneficial to both the singles and married couples present. It was a very entertaining lecture, with a lot of anecdotes given” (Sr. Sarah, Getting Married seminar attendee, Maryland)
