"Code Evolved" EXAM COUNTDOWN!!!

[S Sultan]

Asalamu alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatu,

7 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE EXAM!!!

Study Tip:

Known in poetry of Imam ashShaafi’e: “I complained to Waqi (Waqi’ ibn alJarraah) about my bad memory, and he gave him the instruction to stay away from disobedience of Allah, because knowledge is a light of Allah, and the light of Allah is not given to someone who is disobedient.”

So, if you find that you are having some trouble retaining the beautiful knowledge of our deen, one route towards remediation is obeying Allah (subhanahu wa taala) and avoiding that which He has prohibited.

Practice Question:

What factors affected Fiqh during the period of the Tabi'een and the young Sahabah? (Scroll down and find out!)















Answer:

1. Division of the Ummah
2. General turbulence in the arena of knowledge
3. Dispersion of the Muslim Scholars
4. Establishment of the first Madhahib
5. Popularity of the narration of Hadeeth
6. Appearance of the phenomenon of fabrication
7. The massive conversion of the non-Arabs

If you had a little trouble answering this question, that's okay insha'Allah... you still have a whole week to study! Do it for the sake of Allah (subhanahu wa taala) and just let the barakah start flowing in!

Bring whoever you convinced to take the Code Evolved Seminar to the exam. That should bring up exam attendance for sure inshaAllah!

SubhanAllah... only 7 days left... the way time flies nowadays!
I like the daily practice question idea... very helpful!

[S Sultan]

I just thought of something... I think it might be better to post a question per day until the exam and let all the Tayybites answer insha'Allah.

Hmmm... does anyone care to make it interesting? In the spirit of our constant brothers vs. sisters competitions, whoever submits the first correct answer scores a point for his/her team insha'Allah. It's only a mini-competition, but insha'Allah it will get everyone pumped for the REAL brothers vs. sisters event on Sunday, May 27th.

Any takers???

lets get ready to rumble

Asalamu alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatu,

6 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE EXAM!!!

Study Tip:

The first salah that Muslims were obligated to pray was Qiyam al Layl. It was originally obligatory upon the Muslims to pray it every night.

Allah says [in Surah alMuzzammil]:

“O you wrapped in garments (i.e. Prophet Muhammad SAW). Stand (to pray) all night, except a little” (alQur’an 73:1,2).

After one year, Allah made Qiyam al Layl optional but most of the Sahabah maintained the nightly prayers.

*Lesson from Shaykh Yaser: If someone continually gets up to pray in the darkness of the night, longing for the warmth of his bed, he will build will power, self-confidence and self-esteem because he is conquering his desires for the sake of Allah.

So, if you find that you are having some trouble mustering up the energy and will power to study for the "Code Evolved" exam, one way to do away with these emotions is to begin praying Qiyam al Layl insha'Allah.


Practice Question:

Which Imam was known for his two distinctly different madhahib? What were these madhahib called and which book was associated with each? (Who will be the first to answer???)


Having a little trouble with this question? Well, now you know what area you need to brush up on alhamdulillah! Study for the sake of Allah (subhanahu wa taala) and just let the barakah start flowing in! [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Imam AsShafi'ee
Old Madhab: Al-Hujjah Imam AshShafi'ee
New Madhab: Al-Umm Imam AshShafi'ee

[not sure if it's correct because the word Sh Yaser used was different fiqh rulings..not madhab...wAllahu 'Alam]

Masha'Allah! 1 point for the sisters!

Here is some extra information:

The Story of Imam Ash-Shafi'e's two Madhaahib

Al Madhab al-Qadeem (The Old Madhab)
He was influenced by both Hijazi and Iraqi schools of thoughts. Upon his second return to Iraq, he formed his madhab and wrote Al Hujja. It is clearly a combination of both schools of thoughts.

Al Madhab al-Jadeed (The New Madhab)
Then he traveled back to Hijaz, to Iraq and finally to Egypt. He met the students of Imam Malik, and students of students of Imam Malik. (Abdullah ibn Hakim, student of Imam Malik and one of the most influential Maliki Fuquha in Iraq). He was exposed to a totally different culture in Egypt. Iraq was vivid to culture; exposed to different fitan, new ideas and schools. However, Egypt’s culture was influenced by the west so Imam ashShafi’e formed his new fiqh according to the Egyptian society and wrote the book Kitaab Al-Umm, which is considered the final compilation of his madhab by his own hands.
