inshallah once my university degree is over, i intend to study deen in Yemen. so far i've found this place, that looks excellent http://www.m-almedina.com/English_Index.html for me as a starting place, to learn Arabic and basics of Islam. i was hoping to study in dammaj after this, especially as the place i linked to above has links with dammaj, but i've heard from many sources, that foreigners aren't allowed into dammaj (because of government pressure).
so where else in Yemen could i study? whats emaan university like, and also Jamia al-Iman? also just out of interest, could anyone tell me what dammaj is like from what they have heard/read? like how the lessons are conducted

^ We planned on staying for 10 years, but my mom had really low blood pressure and almost died so we had to leave. Apparently the high altitude is really bad for people like her.
say we go down there, what do we do :S lol, how do we even get there to begin with? is there like a guide from sana'a to dammaj?
once we get to dammaj can we stay in the mosque till we can buy a house? how long does it take to buy a house?
sorry if im asking too much
do all the sheikhs know english?
most people when they reach San'a they head for Masjid al-Khair in San'a or the Masjid which is located next to the hotel owned by Sheikh Yahya's wivfe which is called Imaarat Al-Khawlaani ( I forget the Masjid name now) and they will easily find drivers to Dammaj there because alot of the brothers who go up and down from Dammaj gather around there.
And if you're single when you get to Dammaj, like I mentioned before, the masjid is open for the single brothers.
And you can take as long as you want to buy a house lol. Usually takes a few months to find a nice house and agree on the price and make sure there are no strings attached. To build takes a bit longer though.
And if the Sheikhs know English? Of course they dont! lol.
But there are many english speaking brothers who will translate for you insha'allah.
But you know what bro, if things work out okay and all of that, I can even give you the numbers of some very trustworthy people up there who I know. They'll help you out.

Masjid Al-Khair!!

But it's best to buy a house before you get there InshaAllah, like if you tell someone to search for you.
I say and dont take my full word for it, it might be better to get married here and then head off. One of the reasons being that you'd have taken someone along with you who can also benefit from there?
^ Man I really dont want to say anything. Coz you know sometimes taking a family there can be more headache than good. There's the pros in cons in going there single and married I guess.
But if you go there single there are loads of practising sisters there....really easy to get married there.
^ Masha'allah the Da'wah is now flourishing like never before there
Princess Sheikh Muqbil passed away in 2001 what are you talking about!! :eek:
Even though the presence of Sheikh Muqbil is dearly missed I cry everytime I hear his voice from the cassettes that I have But Masha'allah the da'wah is flourishing
Sheikh Muqbil laid down the foundation of the place and now Sheikh yahya is just carrying on with the Da'wah, we have people there coming from all over the world, every country.
And Yes, people of course do get married there lol. Very very much so.
so whos keeping up the standards? hows it doing without the great sheikh?
It's doing great MashaAllah TabaarakAllah, when the sheikh died Rahimahullah he passed it down to His student/ predesecssor "Sheikh Yahya ibn Ali Al-Hujuuree Hafidhahullaah" who's really really knowledgable may Allah bless him.

Seems like aages ago doesn't it, but yeah! I'm pretty certain that's when he died Allah Yar'hamuh.. (you're confusing now though? hmm)
Summer '01 is when we came right? and I remember JUST when we purchased the tickets and we had them in our hand ready to get set, we heard the news that the Sheikh had passed away!
Pretty tragic hunh? not as tragic as another family we knew who was on the tareeq from Sana'ah to Dammaaj when they heard about his death on the radio!
