بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
🌼 Alhamdulillah, with Tawfeeq and guidance only from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, my brothers (ustadh Ahmad and ustadh AbdurRahman) and I were able to complete the Islamic education courses in Arabic language at Markaz Ibn AlQayyim, based in one of the Middle Eastern countries with sheikh Dr Khalid Adh-Dhufairi (I'm sorry if I misspelled his name), which took four semesters Alhamdulillah.
Although my weakest subject I've realized is Nahu or advanced Arabic grammar, which I need to improve and
Inn-sha-Allah work on in the present and future, I am very grateful Alhamdulillah for the many lessons which Allah the Most Wise has taught us through the informative online classes, recorded lectures we listened to and PDF documents that we still need to read more often, and I pray that Allah the Most Merciful immensely rewards all those generous Muslims who sponsored for our online courses at this prestigious Islamic institute. Ameen.
Inn-sha-Allah we shall continue our pursuit of seeking authentic Islamic knowledge to enhance our faith Imaan and strengthen our connection with our Creator Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala and keep sharing what we have discovered for Allah's sake whenever we can until our souls return to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, while striving to avoid anything which could lead to fitna and deviance of any sort.
✅ 3 Quick lessons learned from the valuable courses we took Alhamdulillah while I taught Qur'an subject to several high school female students at Wisdom Islamic School:
1• Purifying one's niyyah intention is very important. Even if the outcome may not always be pleasant or satisfactory, what truly matter are the sincere efforts and
Inn-sha-Allah the rewards attained from the patience you tried your best to maintain for Allah's sake.
2• Sometimes you experience certain incidents as a teacher also taking some online classes so you're reminded of how to treat your own students. For instance, recently while busily taking an online exam, despite doing my best to comprehend the PDF documents and content etc. for several hours with insufficient sleep, I received a score of 30 out of 50 in the Nahu (advanced Arabic grammar) subject exam which is equivalent to 70% if I'm not mistaken and the tears just fell as I noticed how low it was (I thought I could at least gain 80 something percent). I instantly recalled that's probably how bad some learners feel when they earn a a grade below 70% at times. Alhamdulillah it's an effective reminder to be more empathetic towards fellow human beings when one finds the opportunity to be more lenient when necessary and to never quit learning.
3• Even if we attained an Ijazah, certificate or award of any kind, I believe that as Muslims Alhamdulillah we should still continue learning more about our Deen Islam through reliable sources according to the teachings in the Noble Qur'an and Sunnah of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam.
⚠️ Actually arrogant individuals act as if they know better than everyone whom they meet and may behave as though they're absolutely qualified to deliver formal lectures whenever they spot an audience, while those who sincerely seek authentic Islamic knowledge discover there's still so much to research and understand, so we continue for Allah's sake in patiently learning and researching.
