Alim Course

Usman Realizes the Importance of this Alim Course

Assalamualaikum

My name is Usman & I’m 25 years old. I work as teacher in a state secondary school & I am also in my 3rd year of the alim course.

Just before I started the part time alim course, I had a realisation that to learn knowledge was compulsory for every muslim male & female and that ignorance will not be an excuse on the day of judgement. We will be asked about the knowledge that we acquired and how we acted upon it. At the same time I didn’t want to commit myself for a couple of hours every weekday.

I started the alim course and found that this actually helped me to be more organised with my time outside the alim course and made me more focused. The alim course opened up my mind and made me more humble and made me realise how little I actually knew about Islam. It has helped mould me into the individual I now am and has made me get nearer to Allah and increased the love of the prophet (sallalahoalaihiwasalam) and his sunnat.

Alhamdulillah with the duas and efforts of my asaathidha (teachers), Allah has given me the tawfique to carry on studying and I am now in my 3rd year.

Moreover the course is not just set up to give knowledge, but also to spiritually rectify oneself through the guidance of our respected ulama within the darul uloom.

After nearly completing my 3rd year of the alim course I have realised that knowledge is not cheap. The religious knowledge is what the ambiya (prophets, peace be upon them) left behind, one who acquires this knowledge acquires great wealth. Sacrificing a couple of hours every evening for the sake of Ilm was worth it & I have no regrets.

I make dua that Allah Ta’aala accept the efforts of my asaathidha, accept the institution and accept me to continue studying and utilize me for the khidmat of deen

Wassalmualaikum
