About this course-module
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH,

• After the “Beginners’ course on MOST COMPASSIONATE,
MOST MERCIFUL.

Islam” , which concisely and
adequately prepares a
Muslim/Muslimah towards his/her
basic Islamic education upon the
paradigm of “IIMAN-’AMAL-
IHSAN”, after which they would be
introduced to an “intermediate”
level of learning in:
AQA-ID/TAUHEED, FIQH and AKHLAQ/TASAWWUF.


• By “intermediate” we do mean –
further elucidations of the same
basic topics, but more towards
inculcation of deeper appreciation,
understanding, conviction and
commitment in the aspects of:
• AQEEDAH / TAUHEED
• FIQH
• AKHLAQ / TASAWWUF


• Each of these would be approached
systematically, with adequate
introduction; explanation of
important terminologies; its history
and development; the raison d'être of
its study; appropriate explanation of
current controversies or confusion (if
any) on the subject; equipping
students with the basis so as to
remove any doubts or conjectures.


• Notwithstanding, the essential spirit
in learning at this “intermediate”
level is the inculcation of “ADAB” as
faithfully practised in traditional
learning circles and Madrasah.


• One current Muslims’ approach to
learning which we have highlighted
and criticised thus hoping to avoid is :
“Their learning Islam as a subject.”


• One current Muslims’ approach to
learning which we have highlighted
and criticised thus hoping to avoid is :
“Their learning Islam as a subject.”
• We believe it should be subjecting
oneself to Islam, insha-Allah.

• We have already conducted (at
intermediate level) all these three
modules previously .–and is
commencing the cycle again for those
who may have missed it.
• Also, this is to provide students from
the recently concluded Beginners
Course on Islam to proceed to this
“Intermediate Level”.


• Thus, insha-Allah the first module
(Intermediate level) following the
earlier Beginners course is this
module -18 sessions - entitled:

[1] Introduction to study of Tauheed .


• As in all our approach in Education -
we seek to provide adequate and
satisfactory exposure regarding Islam
and their nurturing as adults, mostly
to new Muslims (converts/reverts),
and in the English language, who
may have been from other
faith/system, etc. –

• Therefore, our curriculum may not necessarily be
similar to what (born)Muslims here have been
exposed to in the Malay language.

• Yet, in as much it can benefit new
Muslim, we have long realized that
this curriculum in fact is what every
young English speaking Muslims
here need. Especially to prepare
them for future work in Da’wah
and in their assisting the education
of our next generation.

And may He accepts us and be pleased with all
our endeavour.
TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS ...

COMMENTS AND TESTIMONIALS

Extracted from some comments,
reflections and feedback of
participant who attended
previous run of this module


Testimonials & feedback by previous
participants

“Thank you for the lesson Ustadh. I use
to think, upon seeing how some
Muslims will foolishly dispute and
contend over certain theological
matters and making both themselves
and the question look silly and
unimportant in the act itself, that the
answers to the questions may not be
wholly important. But following your
lessons, however….


participants

“(however) it…. has taught me that
the distinction in the different
conceptions of the understanding of
God is very much significant, yet
should never be made a subject to
wrangle about; my guess of its
significance is that, a Muslim may
never attain to Certainty with the
wrong conception of the
understanding of God…


participants

“Another takeaway was the slides
Ustadh showed on the discoveries of
modern science, which empirical as it
may be, has discovered the exacting
conditions for the existence of life. This
should be an even greater push for
mankind to reflect on the purpose of
his life and find his place in the
ordered and harmonious
cosmological setting he finds himself
in. Wallahu A’lam.


participants

“Jazakallah khayr ya Ustadh.

Your lessons are of paramount
importance, and I am unsure if I can
ever be grateful enough for them. May
Allah bless and preserve you, and your
family.”


participants

To me, the biggest take away point here is:
sure, Islam has rules, Islam has regulations
and certain rituals we need to do. But if we
spend our whole life following every single
rule to the letter, doing every single ritual to
the letter, yet, if our hearts are filled with
pride, and we don’t do it because of Allah
but to raise yourself above others...then in
the end, it will all count for nothing…


participants

… So takeaway is; know the rules, know the
regulations, but don't just stop at learning
how to do something. Learn why we need to
do it, what is the objective? And most
importantly, we must always, always be
humble and sincere.
If we are sincere and humble in our
submission to Allah, Insya Allah, with His
Infinite Mercy, He will forgive our sins and
bless us with Jannah.


participants
Thanks ustaz for this class. I see this
class as an essential one, because
there is so much confusion in our
community about this matter such
that in the end, the real knowledge of
these things are lost, firstly, and we
waste too much time on accusing
others rather than doing other
beneficial things, secondly. Our
gratitude thus to ustaz for “de-fusing
the confusion.”

participants
This approach to learning Tauhid is
really helpful to me. Because it allows
me to see clearly how is it that in other
religious communities, their
admittance that God is One is
insufficient to reach the actual
meaning of Tauhid, which I see as “The
Pure Oneness of God”, which only
Islam has, and in which other religions
fall short of.


participants
This is probably the reason that it is
said in a hadith that “The key to
paradise is La ilaha illallah.”

And to me, only Islam teaches this
phrase in its true, pure and perfect
form. Wallahu ‘alam.


participants
Perhaps it is partly due to the ‘curse’ of the
IT generation in the era of fitan we live in,
where Sheikh Google and overwhelming
information is abound and we are
‘indoctrinated’ to have a “why this and
that?” mentality.
Don’t get me wrong… it is not that Islam
frowns upon questioning (it is a religion for
the intellects); rather it is the manner and
what is being questioned that reflects the
adab and level of gratitude of a Believer,
which the earlier generations have and our’s
lack, wa-Allahu a’lam!

participants
… It dawned on me why Ustaz spoke about
putting ‘aql (the rational mind) in its proper
place and how he cautioned us about causes
of wrong thinking, information is not
knowledge, etc. in earlier lessons.
Why? In this lesson, Ustaz said that doubt is
not knowledge but admission of ignorance
due to the limitation of the mind. This is an
important point.


participants
Why? Uncertainty of reality led many astray
because ignorance may inadvertently lead to
shirk, which reflects being zulm (unjust) to
the self!
Ustaz reminded us about the imminent
reality via QS al-Isra’ 17: 36 – “Do not follow
anything, which you have no knowledge of.
Verily, [your] hearing and sight and heart –
all of them – will be called to account for it
[on Judgment Day]”.


participants
“This class at times resembles the science
lessons we learnt in school, except that it
always lead to the obvious conclusion of
God’s existence.
Science can explain the “what” and the
“how” but this lesson on Tauheed not only
acknowledges the “what” and the “how”,
but guides our mind to the obvious
conclusion of the “why” – as the proof of
Divine wisdom – not meaningless random-
chance.”
Thank you Ustaz.
