About this course-About this course-modulemodule• After the “Beginners’ course on

Islam” , which concisely and adequately prepares a Muslim/Muslimah towards his/her basic Islamic education upon the paradigm of “IIMAN-’AMAL-IHSAN”, after which they would be introduced to an “intermediate” level of learning in:AQA-ID/TAUHEED, FIQH and AKHLAQ/TASAWWUF.

About this course-moduleAbout this course-module

• By “intermediate” we do mean – further elucidations of the same basic topics, but more towards inculcation of deeper appreciation, understanding, conviction and commitment in the aspects of:

• AQEEDAH / TAUHEED• FIQH• AKHLAQ / TASAWWUF



• Each of these would be approached systematically, with adequate introduction; explanation of important terminologies; its history and development; the raison d'être of its study; appropriate explanation of current controversies or confusion (if any) on the subject; equipping students with the basis so as to remove any doubts or conjectures.


About this course-moduleAbout this course-module• Notwithstanding, the essential spirit

in learning at this “intermediate” level is the inculcation of “ADAB” as faithfully practised in traditional learning circles and Madrasah.




• One current Muslims’ approach to learning which we have highlighted and criticised thus hoping to avoid is : “Their learning Islam as a subject.”




• One current Muslims’ approach to learning which we have highlighted and criticised thus hoping to avoid is : “Their learning Islam as a subject.”

• We believe it should be subjecting oneself to Islam, insha-Allah.



• We have already conducted (at intermediate level) all these three modules previously .–and is commencing the cycle again for those who may have missed it.

• Also, this is to provide students from the recently concluded Beginners Course on Islam to proceed to this “Intermediate Level”.



• Thus, insha-Allah the first module (Intermediate level) following the earlier Beginners course is this module -18 sessions - entitled:

[1] Introduction to study of Tau[1] Introduction to study of Tauhheed .eed .



• As in all our approach in Education - we seek to provide adequate and satisfactory exposure regarding Islam and their nurturing as adults, mostly to new Muslims (converts/reverts), and in the English language, who may have been from other faith/system, etc. –

• Therefore, our curriculum may not necessarily be similar to what (born)Muslims here have been exposed to in the Malay language.



• Yet, in as much it can benefit new Muslim, we have long realized that this curriculum in fact is what every young English speaking Muslims here need. Especially to prepare them for future work in Da’wah and in their assisting the education of our next generation.

May Allah SWT grant us TAUFIQ and HIDAAYAH. And may He accepts us and be pleased with all our endeavour.

COMMENTS AND TESTIMONIALSCOMMENTS AND TESTIMONIALS

Extracted from some comments, reflections and feedback of participant who attended previous run of this module


Testimonials & feedback by previous Testimonials & feedback by previous participantsparticipants

“Thank you for the lesson Ustadh. I use to think, upon seeing how some Muslims will foolishly dispute and contend over certain theological matters and making both themselves and the question look silly and unimportant in the act itself, that the answers to the questions may not be wholly important. But following your lessons, however….

# A



“(however) it…. has taught me that the distinction in the different conceptions of the understanding of God is very much significant, yet should never be made a subject to wrangle about; my guess of its significance is that, a Muslim may never attain to Certainty with the wrong conception of the understanding of God…

# A



“Another takeaway was the slides Ustadh showed on the discoveries of modern science, which empirical as it may be, has discovered the exacting conditions for the existence of life. This should be an even greater push for mankind to reflect on the purpose of his life and find his place in the ordered and harmonious cosmological setting he finds himself in. Wallahu A’lam.

# A



“Jazakallah khayr ya Ustadh.

Your lessons are of paramount importance, and I am unsure if I can ever be grateful enough for them. May Allah bless and preserve you, and your family.”

# A



To me, the biggest take away point here is: sure, Islam has rules, Islam has regulations and certain rituals we need to do. But if we spend our whole life following every single rule to the letter, doing every single ritual to the letter, yet, if our hearts are filled with pride, and we don’t do it because of Allah but to raise yourself above others...then in the end, it will all count for nothing…

# B



… So takeaway is; know the rules, know the regulations, but don't just stop at learning how to do something. Learn why we need to do it, what is the objective? And most importantly, we must always, always be humble and sincere. If we are sincere and humble in our submission to Allah, Insya Allah, with His Infinite Mercy, He will forgive our sins and bless us with Jannah.

Thanks ustaz for this class. I see this class as an essential one, because there is so much confusion in our community about this matter such that in the end, the real knowledge of these things are lost, firstly, and we waste too much time on accusing others rather than doing other beneficial things, secondly. Our gratitude thus to ustaz for “de-fusing the confusion.”

# C



This approach to learning Tauhid is really helpful to me. Because it allows me to see clearly how is it that in other religious communities, their admittance that God is One is insufficient to reach the actual meaning of Tauhid, which I see as “The Pure Oneness of God”, which only Islam has, and in which other religions fall short of.

# D



This is probably the reason that it is said in a hadith that “The key to paradise is La ilaha illallah.”

And to me, only Islam teaches this phrase in its true, pure and perfect form. Wallahu ‘alam.

# D



Perhaps it is partly due to the ‘curse’ of the IT generation in the era of fitan we live in, where Sheikh Google and overwhelming information is abound and we are ‘indoctrinated’ to have a “why this and that?” mentality. Don’t get me wrong… it is not that Islam frowns upon questioning (it is a religion for the intellects); rather it is the manner and what is being questioned that reflects the adab and level of gratitude of a Believer, which the earlier generations have and our’s lack, wa-Allahu a’lam!

# E



… It dawned on me why Ustaz spoke about putting ‘aql (the rational mind) in its proper place and how he cautioned us about causes of wrong thinking, information is not knowledge, etc. in earlier lessons. Why? In this lesson, Ustaz said that doubt is not knowledge but admission of ignorance due to the limitation of the mind. This is an important point.

# E



Why? Uncertainty of reality led many astray because ignorance may inadvertently lead to shirk, which reflects being zulm (unjust) to the self! Ustaz reminded us about the imminent reality via QS al-Isra’ 17: 36 – “Do not follow anything, which you have no knowledge of. Verily, [your] hearing and sight and heart – all of them – will be called to account for it [on Judgment Day]”.

# E



“This class at times resembles the science lessons we learnt in school, except that it always lead to the obvious conclusion of God’s existence.Science can explain the “what” and the “how” but this lesson on Tauheed not only acknowledges the “what” and the “how”, but guides our mind to the obvious conclusion of the “why” – as the proof of Divine wisdom – not meaningless random-chance.”Thank you Ustaz.
