Masjid Ibn Taymmiyah Manhaj and Mustalah Test

There was a course before this, I cant remember what exactly, but they do a 6 week thing, then you take a test, apparently it's easy peasy, and you get a little certificate to just say you attended.

The tapes are of the lessons.

MashaAllah, it sounds real good.

Jazaakumullaah khayr for helpin me understand..

I think it was the second week in which we spoke of the basis of bidah, the classifications, and so forth, I dont have the notes on me, but this article by Fawzaan summs it up, and if this is learnt then I think it would be good for that.

Plus the fact that some people before us tried to catagorise (forbidden, disliked, ok, encouraged...) bidah but all bidah is bad.

Oh guys, by the way theres no amazing new books in the book store one by Uthaymeen, dealing with characteristics of people or youth not sure due to the islamic awakenin and another by Fawzan. Pretty thick and big and nicely layed out, expensive though, but surely worth it, as soon as the new batches are in am getting them insha'Allah.

Where you get it from, I mean the book? And what did it look like and how much.

And I dont got a poster I didnt even know there was a youth conference insha'Allah am going there tommorow so I'll get a pic of it or something.

If you come down on saturday they might have them, they had some but they went pretty quick, so if you want I can ask the bro to reserve some, then Muminah can give you them.

A bro was telling me though, he went to east london somewhere and there was a sale, and he got a book which is like normally round 15 squid for only 10 which might not seem like alot but it can be when u buy about 5 books.

Wa Aleykum Salam Wa Rhametullahi Wa Berekatu,

I'll go tomorow and speak to the brother and see if they have any and how much they are, insha'Allah. And then if Sis Mu'minah cant get there in a couple of days then I'll hold them up, since am I think they'd run out quick.

They were about 13 or so pounds.

Ameen.

Well bro basically the course has two sessions left I think. actually one lesson left. which will be held insha'Allah not this saturday but the following.

You can come and listen if you want no prior booking or anything, its brixton masjid near the police statition I think Grensham lane, it is held normally about 6:30 though before that the is a tafsir class in somali if you know somali then you can go to that too.

Anyhow, if you go then you can also ask to buy tapes of the previous lessons, and just revise what you missed, then there will be a test following saturday after the lesson.

As long as you attend and try insha'Allah you'll do well in the test since it is easy, this is not so much about qualifications/papers more than it is about personal understanding.

Wa Aleykum Salam Bro

There's a book shop in the masjid and they will have the tapes I think, they are like a pound a tape or something.

This week saturday, the 12 I think of May there is no class, after that the next sat is the last class, then after that is the test.

Sorry for the confusion, english is not my strong language.

I also forgot to mention, that he said that they are going to take the names down for the test next lesson meaning not this saturday coming but the one after. He was speaking to us the brother so I dont know if it included the sisters too.
