Alim Course

This Alim Course Takes a U-Turn for Hafiz Mubeen

Posted on May 19, 2010 with No Comments

I am in the third year of Alim class and I am a Pharmacy student at University. In all honesty, initially I joined this alim course with the intention of leaving after a year, but after studying under such learned personnel, enjoying my learning experience so thoroughly and seeing the transition this experience was making in my life there was no way I could leave!

You may wonder that how do people spend the whole day at work or at University, be married and have families and still have time to spend three hours in madrasah everyday!

Not just that, but homework also! Don’t these people relax!?
Well… that is exactly what I thought. In fact, I worryingly asked my respected teacher during my A-Levels (first year Alim class) that “how am I going to keep up with University and Alim Class at the same time”?

All he replied was ‘Let the time come and we’ll deal with the problem as it comes’ and Alhamdulilah through the infinite grace of Allah (SWT) I and the other Alim class students have come to know that if you sincerely want to seek this sacred knowledge then Allah will divinely open up those doors for you and he will put barakah in your time.

As for studying at the institution under Ulama: it is a joy to study Quran, Hadith, Fiqh, Arabic and other Islamic sciences under students of Shaykh Yusuf Motala, Mufti Umar Farooq as well as other scholars who are respected across the globe.

After spending time studying for years under such noble and knowledgeable individuals, the advice and the springs of wisdom of these teachers are invaluable.

Our teachers remind us that you are in this world with a purpose and you only have one shot at life, so be an influential person and leave a legacy behind!… Now what legacy can be better than the legacy left behind by the Ambiyaa (A.S.)?

Thus doing this alim course can really help not only enhance one’s own life but also the lives of others, and therefore inshalah gaining the reward for all those you benefited.

May Allah keep us all steadfast on his deen. Ameen.
