Knowledge is by learning and jurisprudence is by understanding

At-ta'allum here means face to face between student and teacher which is the meaning of talaqqi as what i mentioned above. 

 I feel so grateful and happy to be in this programme as i am able to acquire knowledge about islam with my friends and other participants in a right way. I realised that taking islamic knowledge is not just by reading books/ google, but the ONLY right way to learn islam is by having a trusted teacher(who takes knowledge from talaqqi and sanad way). Even in dunia matter such as medical field, people will not trust someone who just acquire knowledge through google/youtube, same goes to religion. Therefore, from now on, i will find trusted teacher for islamic inquiries.

We started the EP a little bit early than everyone else. It supposed to be after exam week, however there were some problems which the exams been postpone, making the EP and exam in the same week. I would say that having EP and exams in the same week make my focus on EP lesser. However i am glad that the organizer understands and prepare recorded session whenever i cant attend. Therefore, i planned my time which i study for exams in the morning, and open the recorded session in evening. By doing this way, i can balance both my study for exams and my EP.

So far my EP is interesting and relaxing! Hearing to majlis ilmu calms my heart and make me happy.

Next week (week2) would be after exams so i hope that i can focus more to my EP and make notes on what i learn.

Thank you

For my elective posting, I enrolled an online course called ‘Pondok Ilmu Talaqqi’ organised by Pondok Modern Darussyafie, Perak. This session was held on every Monday till Friday, started 10^th June until 10^th July 2021. The Talaqqi teaching was conducted virtually via Google Meet. This course will cover three subjects for basic Islamic knowledge which are monotheism (Akidah), Fiqh Syafie and Tasawwuf. This class will be taught and guided by teachers who are certified and trusted in their field of knowledge.

During the first week of my elective posting, I had been introduced briefly about the Kitab(book) that we were going to use for the learning, which are Kitab Mukhtasar Abdillah Al-Haroriy Al-Kafila Bi ‘ilmiddin adh-Dharuri. I have covered the first chapter of each subject, as follows:

·       Akidah: Obligations of Mukallaf (religiously responsible or accountable)

·       Fiqh: How to determine prayer times & Wudhu’(Ablution) and things that invalidate ablution

·       Tasawwuf: Duties of the heart

Points to remember
The take home message is first, elementary Fardhu ‘Ain is an obligation that is binding on every Muslims and it is an important elements to moulding a Muslim’s personality. 

Next, Talaqqi method would benefit the Muslims as it helps for the preservation of the authenticity of knowledge and avoidance of misunderstanding and misinterpretation on the part of those intending to tamper the good name of Islam.

I feel so glad that I am able to attend this online course because it gave me realization about the true ways of life. It was an extremely rewarding knowledge.

One good thing from what you did that you can practice now!
To practice enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong things in life.

Along the sessions, there is not much of difficulties in terms of learning and technical. Except for a few sessions, where it were overlapped with my exams. So, I need to manage my time well in order not overlooked on either thing. I am blessed that the organizer understands my currents situation during that time and they helped me by providing the recorded session so that I can cover their teaching session after finishing my exams.

Two words to describe elective posting progress so far
Knowledgeable, enjoyable

I will continue my learning session for other topics and to maintain my spirit to keep gaining knowledges.

Thank you.
Sincerely,

For my elective posting project, I took a course “Talaqqi al-Quran (Riwayat Al- Hafs) with Sanad” with a certified teacher. In week 1, I was exposed to what is sanad and talaqqi as well as learning from whom my teacher received her sanad al-Quran. This is important so that I know the lineage of the sanad I will be receiving.

 

A take home message that I remember the most is the importance of sanad inheritance of talaqqi al-Quran. The authenticity of sanad al-Quran must be guarded and preserved in every age. Anyone who wishes to get sanad al-Quran must first make sure that the teacher is someone who takes care of his/her religion and knowledge as well as has a valid sanad. 

 

For this project, I’m overwhelmed as I have always wanted to receive sanad al-Quran since long ago. I am excited and looking forward to the next classes.

 

1 thing that I can start practicing from now on is that whenever I am in search of any kind of knowledge, what more if it is Islamic or quranic studies, I must always learn from a teacher who took the knowledge from sanad and talaqqi way. 

 

My current concern is if I'm able to complete the 30 juz in sanad and talaqqi way. However, I believe all I need to face this is to stay motivated and disciplined and in shaa Allah, I will be able to finish it within the time given.

 

My progress for my elective posting so far is smooth sailing. It was interesting and definitely exciting!

 

My scheduled plan for week 2 is to learn and expert in pronouncing alphabets in the al-Quran (makhraj & sifaat).

 

Salam and hi everyone. Im currently learning khat calligraphy. 

 

Ive started learning khat calligraphy on June 30. Before the class began, I was briefed on the materials needed which were khat pen and A4 glossy paper.  In week 1, I only got the chance to learn the skill to stroke few signs and basic 9 alphabets which were  alif, 2 ba, mim, ya, kof, sod, ha and ain. Too bad, because I am a beginner, I need to learn from the  scratch which took a longer time to master the skill. 

 

Throughout the journey, I just knew that there are many types of khat pen; some are made from stick. Each of them also has different size of tip. Other than that, I learnt that each khat alphabet has its own degree and angle which were not easy to be stroked as I thought. 

 

I think, learning khat is kind of challenging for me. This is because it needs a good hand skill just to create a simple letter. Frankly speaking, I was born with bad handwriting.

 

One good thing I learnt is to be patient. By learning khat calligraphy, it taught me to be more patient as  I took plenty of times to loosen my stiff fingers just to get the best handwriting. 

 

One of the difficulties I am currently facing is the tutor is so strict and precise. He always instruct me to repeat the same letter just because I slightly missed FEW angles. Anyhow, because I love challenges, I practise for about 2 hours a day until he satisfied with my handwriting.

 

2 words to describe my progress are fascinating and energising.

 

My next plan is to learn another 12 letters and to practise more to have a good handwriting.

Hi everyone!

The first week starts with a briefing about the course, what we will learn throughout the course (listed in the video above), and an explanation about the talaqqi and sanad system and how important it is.

In the afternoon or evening, I do some revision and notes.

Points to remember from week 1

Although it was just in the first week of the course, I learned a lot of things. However, I am unable to list all of them here even though I want the one who read this also to get the same benefit or even more! 
From tasawwuf classes, Ustaz Alif shares with us that among the obligations of the heart is to regret sinning. 
One should immediately repent from sinning whether that sin was a small sin or a big sin. One should regret having committed that sin such as lying or gossiping because the person disobeyed the Creator.

One repents by regretting having sinned, stopping doing the sin, and intending never to do it again. If the sin involved leaving out an obligation (such as Solat Fardhu), one has to make it up. If the sin involved a right to a human, one must also satisfy it or seek the person’s satisfaction.

In a time of lockdown and health risks, we are reminded to work for our Hereafter, for with every day that passes, we are one day closer to the ultimate judgment. Each breath that passes, will not return. Think wisely about how you are spending your minutes. I remind myself to commit to best practice and worship today and thereafter. Many spend years and years of their life on learning a particular knowledge to find employment or get a higher salary. But unfortunately, they do not spend a fraction of that time acquiring the knowledge which they need to be saved in their Hereafter. The Prophet, peace be upon him, guided us to the best of all knowledge. We should be keen on learning it and applying its teachings.

Having this kind of class is super important where Ustaz & Ustazah always give some advice that is useful for Dunya and Akhirah.  

Three Types of Patience (Sabr)

One should be patient in performing the obligations, patient in refraining from committing sins, and patient when inflicted with calamities

This week is also the examination week for year 3. Alhamdulillah, this does not bother my schedule that much because the classes only take 3 hours where the rest of my time I can use to revise for the exam. Since I was in college, I'm not having any Internet problems and was able to attend classes smoothly. Alhamdulillah.

Attend and be prepared for the next classes. Do murojaah(revision), watch the recorded videos, and make notes based on them for a better understanding of the knowledge.

For my elective posting, I joined an online course programme called ‘Pondok Talaqq Online’ organised by Pondok Modern Darussyafie, Seri Iskandar Perak. It was done every Monday till Friday for one month started from 10th June to 10th July 2021. This course provides and enhances participants with basic knowledge of Islam (Fardhu Ain), including Akidah, Fiqh, and Tasawuf.

I attended the classes via google meet from 10 am until 1 pm Monday to Friday using Kitab Mukhtasar Abdillah Al-Haroriy Al-Kafila Bi ‘ilmiddin adh-Dharuri.

Lessons to learn from my first week of elective posting are that it is our obligation and compulsory to understand entirely and enhance the basic knowledge of Islam as Muslims. To do that precisely, it is vital to ensure that we learned via the sanad and talaqqi system and ensure the teachers are among the trusted lecturers and have valid sanad. 

I was delighted and grateful as I took this course as my elective posting with some of my friends and I learnt a lot from this course. 

One good thing I can practice is that whenever we are sought to learn something, we grasp it in a precise way.  

Since my first week of EP overlapped with my exams, I come out with my schedule and class recording. 

Knowledgeable, interesting 

Prepare, and attend for the next week of class
