Salamu ‘alaykum all,

Shafi’i Institute | Shafifiqh.com will be broadcasting online with Shaykh Abdur Rahman Khan – graduate of Dar Al Ulum Al Arabiyyah wal Islamiyyah and teacher of Mughni Al-Muhtaj since 2006 – a seven week course on Fiqh Al-Manhaji of Drs. Mustafa Bugha, Mustafa Alkhin, and ‘Ali Ash-Sharjabi. This course will cover the first chapter of Taharah (ritual purification) in English and will cover the proofs of the school for the views expressed of the Shafi’i madhhab. Topics such aswudu‘, najasat, and other sub categories (furu‘) will be discussed. There will be time for questions and answers insha’allah. The course will be starting Nov. 12th 2011 and conveniently held every Saturday after at 10pm +2 GMT. The fee is $50USD, however if someone is unable to pay the amount, we offer financial aid. All money goes to paying the ‘Ulama‘ here at Shafifiqh.com as well all the overhead costs of the course.

If you are a real Sunni, interested in upholding the Sunnah and defending the way of the righteous forefathers, and are willing to spend a few hours of your day – or maybe even week – in helping our SeekingIlm.com website grow, please email us at seekingilm at hotmail.com.  We are particularly interested in people able to translate Arabic. [Rafael: Bonus points for Malikis]

We would like to kick up the research another notch and spend more time refuting the anthropomorphic creed of the pseudo-salafi movement, exposing their heresies, as well as the heresies of other groups as well. We would like to start a detailed refutation section of the pseudo-Shi’i Rafidi movement that has shown its head within the last 200 years as well. We currently have around 10,000 hits/visits a day according to our website counter, so this would be a great way to squelch bida’ah and promote good bida’ah, in the words of Imam Ash-Shafi’i, as well!

Note: Sidi Rafael wanted me to add in the following clause: “You must be able to prove your orthodoxy through a trial by fire”…

Okay maybe not fire, but you get the idea.

No! presents, give us presents, offerings!

Jazakum Allahu khayran

Here is an audio file on youtube in which Shaykh Y. Qaradawi is asked about the creed of Al-Azhar. He clearly states that this Ummah’s majority is Asha’ri and the minority is pseudo-”Salafi”!

It is certainly beautiful to listen to:

We have been working on a new site design for some time now. We decided to go ahead and release it to get your feedback. We would appreciate it if you could give us your thoughts: What needs to be added, taken away, edited etc? Does your browser view the site properly? 

So far our tests have shown that the site shows best with Google Chrome. However, firefox looks okay as well. IE on the other hand is, in my view, lacking luster. Let us know what you think…

Jazakum Allahu Khayran,

Abul Layth

We have discovered that IE 7 is not allowing users to view the site properly. To our knowledge, this is restricted only to the home page, and not articles etc. We are not sure why this occurring, and if anyone has a solution feel free to let us know, but we recommend viewing SeekingIlm with Firefox, Chrome, etc.

Sorry for any inconveniences.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan,

SeekingIlm Team

Thank you to the brother who emailed me informing me of the downloadables being broken links. I had upgraded the software and forgot to update the widget. So, now you can download the downloadables again insha’allah. If ever any problems email seekingilm@hotmail.com

Jazakum Allahu Khairan

As-Salamu ‘Alaykum brethren,

Alhamdulillah, after a few hours of hard mental labor and finger clicking we have revamped the downloadables section. Currently we have around 15 books we feel are important to the beginning seeker or intermediate learner. Once we decide whose lectures we will be putting up for download, we will send out another post informing the SI readers. If there is content you would like available in the downloadables section feel free to contact us at seekingilm@hotmail.com or just post a comment in this thread. File size does not matter!

Be sure and check back frequently as we will be uploading more material within the next few weeks insha’allah.
