Scholar and places to study

[anonymous]

:sl:

I have decided that I would like to become a scholar, and specialise in Islamic Knowledge. Can anyone tell me where I can go about achieving this? Somewhere that teaches mainly Arabic based, so that I can learn Arabic more fluently. Also a University setting would be good, as you achieve a degree at the end, and this means I could go into teaching as well.

BTW, not Madinah University or Al Azhar University, there are reasons that I won't go into :)

May you be successful.

I suggest looking into Dar al Mustafa in Yemen.


'Dar al-Mustafa is an educational institute established for the study of traditional Islamic Sciences. It was founded in 1414 AH (1993 CE) in the city of Tarim, in the blessed valley of Hadramawt, Yemen.
The Dar al-Mustafa campus was officially opened in Dhul-Hijjah, 1417 AH (May, 1997 CE).

The founders and teachers of Dar al-Mustafa are dedicated to training their students to achieve three main goals:
The acquisition of authentic Islamic knowledge (shari`ah) as established by the scholars of ahl as-sunna wa al-jama`ah: this knowledge, which is received through an unbroken chain of transmission from the Prophet Muhammad , is to be attained, realized, and implemented in the student's life.

The purification of the soul and the refinement of character by learning and following prophetic examples of moral conduct and noble demeanor.
The dissemination of the message brought by the Prophet Muhammad and spreading the call to Islam using a methodology based on mercy, truthfulness, sincerity, high opinions of others, and a commitment to act upon one's faith.

Thus, the central purpose of Dar al-Mustafa, as indicated by these goals, is the attainment of beneficial knowledge by learning from the people who possess it, acting upon this knowledge in an exemplary way, and calling to Allah with true insight and discernment.'

Well what about where you live now, maybe where you live has a person who has studied alot and you can learn from him/her for now and once you have learned alot of their knowledge you can move on, this has many benefits one being that you can save money whilst learning from the person this money could assist you once you finish aquiring knowledge from them, another being that if this person is knowledgeable then they will be able to guide you to a place to learn from and move on from.

I live in London, and I am seriously thinking that I might go and camp outside Shaykh Suhaib Hasan's house lol. Insha'Allah, maybe one day.

P.s. Be a Muhaddith, cos you know Science of Hadeeth is COOL

Eesa.
