![[HD] Role of Mothers in Islam - Mufti Muhammad Ibn Adam al-Kawthari](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ku-uab-YYLk/mqdefault.jpg)
Great discussions. Mufti has so much wisdom
Jazakallah khair, I get so much from these interviews
Sufis are not upon the truth and the haneefah school of thought left the teaching of there Imaam
Really enjoyed this podcast, Jzk👍🏽
My love❤ Mufti sabh Masha Allah
Fascinating, jazakallah khair for sharing
Do not share Sufis video these people have left the teachings of the prophet (saas)
Understanding is superior to memorisation except in the case of the Qur'an.
Is this the guy who made the "donkey" statement recently?
Which statement?
Yes, he’s filthy.
He did not. Someone has dubbed his voice. It's not even his voice and lip movements are not the same.
As per the issue which is regarding a century old scholars. They have denounced all kufr allegations against them, over a century ago.
In my opinion the murshid finds you. Thats in my experience. The issue is whether you do wafa and ammal upon their tarbiyyat. Tarbiyyat is paramount.
Why does mufti saab speak English with so much qalqalah and tajweed.
Lmao what do you mean?
I think it’s just the quality of the mic. Crisp & clear
Absolutely agree with some of Mufti sab's ideas about improving the Darul Ulooms. As a former English teacher in Leicester's Islamic schools and a student of knowledge, I was witness to how maybe less than 10% of Darul Uloom students actually covered the mutun with thoroughness. The curriculum, standard of teaching and quality of students all need levelling up. Future imams/chaplains are getting some gaps filled at places like Cambridge Muslim College but there nonetheless needs to be better teaching of Dawah, British Muslim history, career planning, inter-faith, leadership, technology, etc. You can't copy and paste a curriculum designed for 1920s India and expect it to be relevant for 21st century Great Britain. Huge progress in courses such as Iqbal Nasim's 'Transform My Prayer' ought to be incorporated as our imams and teachers do not even know how to teach prayer beyond the outward rules! I hope we can start seeing some debate and original curriculum design. It doesn't help that many of our leading scholars are not even university educated, or are poorly read/informed about modern economics, politics and culture. A major condition of being able to give fatawa is to understand the context of our land and times. And that is only achieveable if one is very well educated and integrated in society. Imams Hamza Yusuf, Omar Suleiman, Yasir Qadhi, Nouman Ali Khan etc. in the US are great examples of this. In the UK, Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad is a rare example. We need more imams of this calibre, but note that all the examples mentioned are individuals who are highly educated in secular Western subjects as well as the Islamic sciences. In stark contrast, many of our Darul Uloom graduates are high school dropouts or the least intelligent in our community. Astaghfirullah, there's a brain drain in our so called institutions of 'higher learning'. Even the way hadith and tafsir is taught is far too shallow. We rely far too much on outdated legalistic books from the past whereas what we need is a fresh examination of how Quran and Hadith can guide us in modern life. The success of Islamic Finance is a great example where high level professional knowledge of secular subject matter (finance, accounting, etc) can combine with understanding of our canonical texts to produce truly impactful and relevant solutions: the whole Islamic Finance industry. The goal of a Darul Uloom should be to drive similar innovation across masjids, Islamic schools, madrassas, politics, etc. Ya Allah grant us great visionaries and reformers to help transform our institutions in this way! Amin!
Your comment is a gross overgeneralisation and the stereotype you are portraying of 'dumb' people attending Darul Ulooms is just untrue.
If you want to understand why an organisation sets up its curriculum a certain way, you need to look at its goals.
Yes, all institutes can improve and should always strive to improve their provision, however the majority of Darul Ulooms in the UK are focussed on primarily preserving the faith, spiritual tarbiyah of the students, and delivering a basis from which students can go on to study further and specialise if they wish to do so.
The primary aim is not to produce charismatic 'imams' who will gain mass following on social media.
There is no need to reinvent the traditional sciences and distort them like certain popular 'scholars' - yes, there is a need to improve and build upon past scholarship, but different graduates will fulfill different needs, not all will go into research; there have to be some that go into chaplaincy, youth work, running makatib, masajid, etc. Darul Uloom grads are expected to fulfil so many roles in our society and community, and if you look around you will find that many of them humbly serve in some sort of capacity all their lives.
Darul Ulooms as institites will have their own challenges and areas of improvement, some will be better organised than others...but to write off their valuable contribution to society is very shallow and frankly lazy.
Modern universities have a very different focus and purpose, to expect Darul Ulooms to be Islamic versions of Western universities shows that you havent properly understood both systems.
Deobandi institutions should be banned.
I really don't think you understand the shari'ah if you're referring to its study of classical texts as old "legalistic " tradition. These complains about the "outward" rules are not new, and brother, they're a very slippery slope. The scholars you mentioned, some of them for starters aren't even scholars by their own admission and most are not renowned hadith scholars or legal experts. (Not saying they need to be but your really judging darul ulooms by the standard being charismatic daees? )
The irony is that the scholars you mentioned are no doubt great daees in America, but their shortcomings are also very obvious. In fact, their inability to understand the reality on the ground in America is precisely what led to the slow infestation of lgbtq/liberal nonesense into the Muslim community there. To potray them as some ideal is nonsensical as they have huge divisions within the Muslim community in the US and arguably the religous leadership played a role. At least we don't have daees in UK flirting with the language suggestive of perennialism, or making statements that on the outward are insulting to islam. We don't seem to have such "gaffes" as "American" islam.
Also, I think there's this new "neo" traditionalist trend that's seems to be popular with middle class Muslims who seem to want an islam that complies with their new sensibilities. I noticed the whole "British" islam thing which I vehemently disagree with and see as being no different to right-wing rhetoric except shaykh Abdal hakim argues it from a different perspective unconvincingly.
But mostly, I don't think you know what you're talking about with all due respect nor due you understand the purpose of the tradition. Its not to neatly fit islam inside someone's imagined subjective idea of "British" culture. Its one thing to update and also tackle current issues but to be fair to the ulema, this is something that they're doing. But islamic teaching isnt simply for the production of popular daees. Nor is it as you suggest for some vague nebulous notion of "innovation".
as far as not understanding the culture or that the graduates are all the " least intelligent", horrible exaggerations and have a real air of arrogance to them. The idea that British born imams don't understand British culture, follows from the assumption that Muslims are not "integrated" enough into British society.
(Which btw seems to be shared by one of the shayks you mentioned as well as most of the right wing anti islam groups).
It would have been better if you gave an example, but so far just seems like some arrogant generalisations, and I certainly don't see American islam as some sort of ideal Muslims should be striving for.
@Snailryder you reason your points well. My concerns about the quality of darul ulooms are shared by many ulema and graduates themselves. You are right in pointing out that they are secondary schools in terms of level of education, but the problem is that graduates are labelled 'alims' - thus is very misleading and wholly inappropriate. I think we can agree that Mufti Muhammad's proposal is a step in the right direction.
@@Mohammed-bz8ltyou make some fair points and reason well. Sadly, I can report, having taught English at Darul Ulooms, that very few 'scholars' graduating from Darul Ulooms - less than 10% - could write as coherently as you have. It's not a generalisation: the quality of teaching, curriculum and students is poor. As a teacher, I know that darul ulooms rate poorly as educational institutions compared to the best schools; and if you speak to any student of knowledge who has studied the Islamic sciences privately in the Middle East they will give you scores of reasons for why the Darul Uloom system leads to the majority of students having too superficial an understanding of most sciences. Their purpose, subjects and pedagogy have simply not adapted enough to our needs. I accept that we don't have to mimic the US approach, but that we require serious reform - at the very least what Mufti Muhammad suggests here - is surely undeniable. My observations are based on having trained teachers, taught students or spoken to graduates in darul ulooms in Bury, Dewsbury, Leicester and Birmingham. It's also backed by Ofsted reports you can publicly read for yourself. As for any contrary evidence that Darul Ulooms maintain a culture of rigorous educational standards or training or research or innovation or evolution in pace with the change in society - it's sadly lacking. They are static. The texts, methods of teaching and curriculum have remained stubbornly the same for decades despite massive societal, cultural snd technological change. Many graduates never return to their books as they struggle to find careers - the lack of proper career guidance snd planning is a classic example of how ill-equipped they are. Let alone proper training on inter-faith work, LGBT issues, social media and marketing, and educational institution set up or community engagement. There are pressing new topics like the rise of atheism, Andrew Tate phenomena, environmental concerns and the Muslim health epidemic, generational trauma; human psychology, etc., all of which are arguably vital to understand for any potential future imam or madrasa teacher. An 'alim truly must understand the world he lives in. No matter what anyone thinks of someone like Shaykh Hamza Yusuf or the late Shaykh Muhammsd Al Shareef (r.a.), to give two examples, they were undeniably WELL READ in both the Islamic and secular sciences, and this enabled them to have huge positive impact on thousands of Muslims' lives. In contrast, our Darul Ulooms are instead stuck in a paradigm which is only effective for perhaps working class Muslims or those who are happy to exercise their intellect for their careers and degrees, but leave it behind when it comes to Deen. The Qur'an and Sunnah is still as relevant now as it was 1400 years ago, but all the other methods of imparting/interpreting them are open to change. Just as our mosques are no longer mud huts, or we no longer write on parchment, or battle with swords, similarly our whole educational system must be suited to our times. We are 10-20 years behind and that's hurting our youth who will go to school and be enthralled by the high quality, dynamic teaching of science and then get bored by reading a 1000 year old obscure textbook in a foreign language which has no punctuation marks or paragraphing. I could go on and on but I'm not here to debate. Alhamdulillah, many of my teachers, 'ulema and any intelligent/dynamic leader I meet agrees wholeheartedly with the spirit of what I'm saying and inshaAllah I'll work with them to help make changes in the right direction. Allahu 'aalim.
Id like to see your shahada and certificate of graduation from Darul uloom karachi
Thaklid is necessary…may Allah Subhanathala protect our umma
The most evil of beasts in God’s sight are the deaf, dumb, those who do not reason.” (8:22).
The most evil of beasts in Allah’s sight are the who slander Allah
@@ihanet-Yorgunuif they reasoned, would they slander?
these people talking about scholars and reading their books?
why dont you just read the Kur'an 100 times 500 times in your own language?
understand the sipirit of it and the manner of the revelation.
that way you'll know whether a hadis is a sahih-hadis or sia's scum
Mufti Double topi
