السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Many Students Need Sponsoring in this upcoming course.

Imam An-Nawawi Said:
“Groups of the Salaf (pious predecessors) have all agreed that busying one's self with knowledge is better than busying himself with the recommended prayers, fasts, tasbeeh and their likes from the actions of the limbs.”

Please try to give to students who want to seek this path.

In Tuesday's class, I mentioned that there are no classes until I return from Umrah in Sha Allah, meaning our next class will be Tuesday 26th November in Sha Allah.

I also mentioned that due to the lack of discipline, revision, and etiquettes of a student of knolwedge shown by the students, I was going to stop the detailed explanation and do a basic one instead. However, many students spoke to me after the lesson. Therefore, I've decided that it was a final warning, and I expect all students to be fully caught up and revised when I return In Sha Allah. Otherwise, I will resort to the basic explanation.

My advise is to keep coming to the masjid during class time as you normally would, and revise together, as well as revising outside of class.

The Masjid will remain open during the usual class times in sha Allah
