hmm, it isn't going to be that easy though, can't you do it somewhere else, like in the states instead of going abroad?
 
Brother Alcurad I think there is for the disbelievers and non muslims.

Where can I do that in the US? I would if there existed a place (and no, I value my deen too much to go to Zaytuna). I really would like to learn Arabic over here though, to save some time and money before I make it overseas.
 
Also, to the sister who messaged me: my Allah reward you for trying to help, but I do not feel comfortable speaking to a sister in private.

Thats an inside joke with me and a friend. Basically, NO OUTSIDERS ALLOWED (i.e. I had my Islam questioned/mocked by her father and brother).

With all due respect akhee, I don't think you should judge based on an incident you've been through. :hmm:
 
I just got a chance to watch part a1 of the madinah arabic videos. I don't really know if these will help much at all, to be honest. I do not even know what he is talking about when he mentions english parts of speech...
 
Just out of curiosity: has anyone ever learned Arabic from these Madinah books? I hear people rave about them but it turns out they could already speak Arabic and were just freshing up on it.

I don't know those either. But dont think it matters, because I think he just mentions those as extra information. I'm understanding it so far alhamdulillaah..

I've never heard that. But could be true for some people - who study those books to learn the Grammar, even tho they know how to speak the Arabic language.

I will check it out inshaAllah. The second video was a little bit easier. I am not a grammar person (I have an engineering and math degree), so it is a little tedious but I can memorize the vocabulary and pay close attention to how the sentences are formed.

Also, make dua for me. I was approached by a brother in the masjid with regards to marrying a sister in the next community. I want whats best. Her father is a convert that has studied in Madinah so it may be easier on me in this regard.
 
No thank you, I do not take Rashad Khalifa as a prophet. Without hadith, how do you pray? You are aware that the Quran was sent down through the same chains as various ahaadith, right?
 
You clearly are unaware of the facts of the matter. You completely dodged the question: HOW do you pray? Do you just pray however you want?

I would like to hear how the Quran did not come down through the same chains as ahaadith. Are you aware of the science of isnaad?
 
Moreover, how many times a day do you pray? What do you do with ayats that say "Obey Allah and obey the Rasul"? Did that only apply to the first muslims? What does that mean according to your desires?
 
Why dont you answer this question:

What do you do with ayats that say "Obey Allah and obey the Rasul"?
 
^Its an allegation, not true. There are Ahadeeth narrated by the Khulafa Rashideen as well. Go and do some research before asserting something.

The Ahadeeth are all well preserved and thoroughly researched by the great Muhadditheen. They took utmost care in narrating the Ahadeeth. They never took a Hadeeth from anyone found deceiving or lying.
Once a scholar heard that a person knows one Hadeeth. He travelled a distance to meet him and learn that Hadeeth from him. When he reached his home, the scholar saw him calling his sheep towards himself by extending his arm and making a sound, as if showing them (the sheep) that there is something to eat in his hand. The scholar asked what is there in your hand? He replied its empty. Thereupon the scholar went back. He said, how can I take a Hadeeth from someone who is deceiving the animals? The one who is deceiving the animals can also deceive humans.
This is just an example of how much care they took in narrating the Ahadeeth.

Read this article here, it might help you.
 
Imam Nawawi (RA) says there are One Hundred and Forty Two Ahadeeth narrated by Abu Bakr As-Siddiq Radhiyallahu 'Anhu. Read here.

The first Hadeeth in Saheeh Bukhari is Narrated by Umar Radhiyallahu 'Anhu.
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Narrated Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it to others."

Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If only one day of this time (world) remained, Allah would raise up a man from my family who would fill this earth with justice as it has been filled with oppression.

These are just examples. There are many more Ahadeeth narrated by them.
