Dearest Students,

Assalamualaikum

May Allah sbt make this knowledge the way of gaining His pleasure. Ameen

I have very mixed feelings for the past one week, I was happy at the same time very gloomy as this course was coming to an end. Alhamdulillah as Ustazah said this was the first time this kind of course was offered and mashallah you all are among those fortunate lovers of knowledge who completed it with commitment and dedication. Mashallah it's such a great achievement for all of us as we have gone through Sahih Bukhari and developed such a strong love for Nabi s.a.w and his Sunnah Alhamdulillah.

Alhamdulillah it was Allah's special Rahmah and help that I was able to teach you whatever I have gained from Ustazah. The time spent with Ustazah I will always cherish and treasure it till the end of my life. I always remember her saying when asked her; "Guidance is from Allah but He made you a source, you have given me so much how can I pay you back for this Ahsan. She said teach others what I have taught you." I knew I can never be at the level of knowledge she is so decided that based on my knowledge and experience of teaching I will try different ways and creative methods and whatever treasure of her knowledge is hidden in tapes I will bring forth to people.

At another time Ustazah also advised me to do listening so since then it's my routine that there is always something which I am listening at home, in my car and whatever I do listening is a part of my life. Listening to different lectures of Ustazah has improved my speech a lot and has developed so many things which I lacked in me. Every lecture has reminder not to forget Allah and Akhirah, motivation to work and do amal and  self analysis tips which keep me on track always Alhamdulillah.

On the completion of this course I want to thank Allah swt that He provided me with everything which was needed to conduct this course, then Ustazah Dr. Farhat Hashmi for giving me this opportunity and trusting in me, then to all of you because your active participation has made this course so interesting and lively.

My hearties Congratulations to all of you for this great achievement. May Allah sbt accept all your hard work and efforts and make these efforts the best Sadqa-e-jaria. Amen

My advice for you would be the same as Ustazah advised me convey what you have learnt, keep yourself in touch with Quran always and keep listening to good lectures for your spiritual health.

With lots of love and Duas

Wasalam,

Shazia Nawaz

Pearls from an Ocean

Reading Hadith after Quran was like picking pearls from deep down the Ocean. Alhumdulilha. On weekend I used to raise the voice of speakers so my all family could hear these words of our beloved Prophet Mohammad ( saw). It was like sun shine of Allah swt's Rehma coming in my home. When my husband came to know that it is the last day of Sahi Bukhari, he was sad and asked me to join other course. He also liked Ustad Dr I drees Zubair’s lectures and we both learnt so much in lectures of  Islami Akaid and Hadith ki Ehmiat  aur Zaroorat .     The advices of Ustaza throughout the course in light of Quranic Ayas and Ahadith kept me on track in all situations. This was the blessing of Allah swt !!  When my sweet Shazia baji would ask questions in grammer, I was keen to answer them and my husband would also help me. I was motivated when she applauded us by saying Excellent or “hasan hasan”. We all love you Shazia baji.  In recaps of hadith and Tajaliyyat e namboowat my son Ahmed (7 yrs) would too reply with me and i used to be surprised how come he knows the answer. SubhanAllah! Wasalam, Farheen Shaukat Sahi Bukhari Student

My Journey

My journey through the quran has enabled me to experience this verse, alhamdulillah.
I had been busy all my life making good use of my time, so I thought, gaining worldly
knowledge at the highest possible level. I thought I was a good muslimah, I loved my
job and was pretty good at my speciality of pediatrics. It so happened that when my
fourth child was born, my husband and I decided that I take a couple of years off from
work so I could give more time to the tarbiyah of our kids. However, when all my
children had entered school, I found this emptiness in my life I had never experienced
before. My children were doing hifz at home at that time and my oldest son had begun
to understand some quran through his Islamic school. That intrigued me and I started
learning the Arabic language at home. I bought many books of Arabic and remember
going over the grammar tables again and again. I was never afraid of hard work and
was happy I had found something to do in free time. I used to listen to the quran that my
children memorized but it was more of a chore than something I looked forward to.
I was then introduced to Ustadhaʼs quran in MP3 by my neighbor and soon my sister
introduced me to the TQM course. However, I had to make sure I was learning Islam
and quran from the right sources as I always had a quest to learn from the best source
available to me. I first listened to Ustadhaʼs quran tafseer for a couple of months at my
neighborʼs house. My heart wept and I was amazed how each verse of the quran was
directed at me. I could see my ignorance melt away, my emotions transform into
patience, and I began to see faults of people less and my own faults more. By the grace
of Allah and tarbiyah of my parents, I had been reading quran with meaning almost
everyday of my life, of course with some bumps in the road. But I had never seen the
quran in this light. This was unique, unlike any tafseer I had read. I soon joined the
TQM-08 course although I was late by 3 juz. I enjoyed everyday of the course and saw
my outlook on life change tremendously. I still have ways to go and know that tazkiyah
of nafs is an everyday process till death but at least I have the tool many are deprived
of.
Since then I joined and am almost at the end of the Bukhari course. As enlightening as I
found the words of my Lord, I was wonder-struck of the wisdom-filled words of
rasoolullah (s). Since then my children have learnt this language, especially my
youngest son, now 11, whose hifz coincided with my quranic journey. My husband is
also learning the quranic language, alhamdulillah. I am now on a quest to tell every
Muslimah I meet about what they are missing. This is my most frequent topic of
discussion. Alhamdulillah, we have a whole group of sisters who sit once a week to
learn the quran in my home. My passion in medicine has transformed into a passion for
the quran. Every time I read the quran, I find a new message, an ayat that looks like I
am reading for the first time, alhamdulillah. I have been off from work fully for the past
three years, and now as I think of going back to work part-time, I look back and cherish
every moment that I spent with AlHuda and will always continue to be part of this great
family, inshaʼAllah. My children now ask me, “When are you going to do hifz, mom?”
I thank Allah for this blessing of being able to cry during taraweeh and for being able to
go through it without being tired. I thank Him for giving me the ability to think of my
weaknesses and a chance at istighfaar. I thank Allah for making me realize the
immense value of the hereafter and looking at the world only like a means to a very
great end. I cannot thank Ustadha and the staff of AlHuda enough for make this a reality
for me.
My duas are with my parents, with Ustadha, with sister Shazia, sister Bushra (my TQM
coordinator), sister Seemein (my Bukhari course coordinator) and of course all off-thescene
AlHuda members who make this possible. May Allah protect them and their
families in this world and the hereafter. Ameen.

And for my lovely sisters

 

Our Class has come to an end, and we know
Our lives will be different and new;
We’re going out into the world,
Our goals and dreams to pursue.

But one thing will never, ever change,
As we go our separate ways;
The relation we’ve made in THIS CLASS will be
as SISTERS for all our days.

The special ties and attachments we’ve made,
These bonds will never be broken;
We’ll continue to feel that special bond,
Though words may not be spoken.

So it’s not "goodbye," but rather "farewell;"
WE’ll see each-other again, my SISTERS
in this world and In Jannah,
And this journey  will never end.

Jazakkumullahu khairan katheeran to all my sisters for your participation and co-operation
