Alhumdulillah,Ihya Academy which started its Basic Arabic Course in Oct 2010 has formally entered into 1st semester of Scholar course.
Its really an honor for me that ,I am, first time in my life is teaching core sacred texts of Hanafi fiqh like Quduri & Usool Ush-Shashi,alhumdulillah.Along with these I am also teaching Hidayatun Nahw,book on Arabic grammar.
Quduri is among the 4 most trusted texts of Hanafi Fiqh.Author of 'Misbahul Anwaar' wrote:Indeed hanafites used to take blessings by reading this book during calamities.And this is such a blessed book that who remembers it by heart will be protected from hunger.Is it even said that,whoever studies this book under a noble scholar and do dua at the end of book,will get number of dirhams as the number of mas'ala's written in the book.And it is said that there are 12000 mas'ala's written in Quduri!
Well I couldn't get 12000 dirhams, as though my teacher was noble,I could not complete the full book with him.I hope neither my students will get it as I am not noble!
Usool ush-Shashi,is one of the most famous book on Principals of Hanafi Fiqh in Indo-Pak.As this subject is quite difficult,when this text is directly taught,that too in Arabic, students usually find it very hard to understand the subject.Even I faced this,but alhumdulillah my teacher made sure that i understand every topic ,and this is due his teaching only,that most of the topics he taught years back,are still fresh in my mind.Hence,before starting the actual book we covered a book in Urdu on this subject,this made students get an overview of the subject and the topics we would be covering in actual book. I feel this would help them in understanding the subject better now.
Hidayatun Nahw,is one of the best Arabic grammar book included in almost all the madar'sas of Indo-Pak.It is said that whosoever completes this book cover to cover, would not require any other book in Nahw.We covered Persian book in Nahw called 'Nahw Meer' during basic grammar course,which made students remember the basic rules of Arabic grammar.This again helped in understanding Arabic text of Hidayatun Nahw easily.
Its really an honor to teach the sacred knowledge of Prophet everyday, for an hour.I have made a firm intention that,till rest of my life,I would continue teaching the sacred texts to students, inshahALLAH. Who knows this may lead to salvation of a sinner like me on judgment day.
The classes are held Mon-Fri,11:00pm to 12:00am.So Monday to Friday,after coming from office I sit down to read the chapter I need to teach that day.After classes, I start my study, mainly fatawa books.Saturday & Sunday are academy holiday.I complete my pending writing work of Mufti course and go to Idara-e-Shariat Darul Ifta,to get them corrected from Mufti Sahab.
Presently I'm working on English translation of Aalahazrat's book called 'Irfan-e-Shariat' ,which is collection of short questions & answers asked to Aalahazrat and his replies.The book has 3 parts, I am planning to complete the 1st part before Urs of Aalahazrat on 30th Jan 2011, inshahALLAH.Once this book is complete I would start with translation of 'Fatawa Africa' which is book on answers to the questions asked to Aalahazrat from Africa,inshahALLAH.
May we have a team of educated brothers who can fi-sabilillah carry out these types of literary work lacking in Ahle Sunnat.I have lots of hope on the students studying in Academy,I hope they would prove themselves to be real asset of AhleSunnat,inshahALLAH.
So,this is what I do these days and be preoccupied with.May ALLAH azzawajal give istiqamat to me:Aameen.
