Huzaifah ibn Adam said:
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته​

Welcome to the forum, sister.

First and foremost, Alhamdulillaah that Allaah Ta`aalaa has guided you towards the Deen. This is the greatest Ni`mah (favour) in the life of any person. The greatest Ni`mah of all.

In response to the question on where the Name of Allaah Ta`aalaa comes from:

The Name "Allaah" is not derived from any other word. This has been mentioned by famous grammarians of Islaam such as al-Khaleel ibn Ahmad, Sibawayh, and other than them. It is not derived from any noun or any verb.

The Name of Allaah means:

من له الإلهية وهي القدرة على الإختراع, يعني إبراز الشيء من العدم إلى الوجود​

Allaah means "The One Who possesses al-Ilaahiyyah. And al-Ilaahiyyah is the quality of being able to create something from nothing. To bring something from the state of non-existence into the state of existence."

This is the meaning of "Allaah". The Name "Allaah" has no feminine form and no plural form.

Allaah Ta`aalaa is not only the God of this Ummah; He is the God of Moosaa عليه السلام (Moses), `Eesaa عليه السلام (Jesus) and all the prophets and messengers who came before them. Allaah Ta`aalaa is the One and only God. There is no God besides Him. He has always existed and He was always exist. He neither begets nor was He begotten. He has no partners. He is All-Knowing and has power over all things.

In short, Allah is a special word that means "The God" in which there is no plural and you cannot apply gender to the hand.

A nifty word in Arabic.

More than that, Alhamdulillaah. In Islaam, you get what is known as an "Imaam", and this is a person who has studied a little bit more of Islaam than regular people, and has learnt how to give Khutbahs, how to lead the Salaah, how to lead the Janaazah Salaah, how to perform Nikaahs, etc. Then you get an "`Aalim", and that is a person who has specialised in Islaam; all of its fields. In SA, an Imaam course is about 1-2 years (generally one year), whereas the `Aalim course is 5 years in some places, 7 years in some places, 9 years in some places and even 12 years in some places. The `Aalim course is much more in-depth than the Imaam course. The `Aalim knows everything that the Imaam does, plus more.

What I studied for was to become an `Aalim. Alhamdulillaah.

have me in your dua :D
 
Salaams to you [MENTION=17027]Huzaifah[/MENTION] ibn Adam, how many years on yours?


My brain would melt...


:peace:
 
Disgusting woman, makes me mad at what she says.

Be careful, we're hated across the world, they are going to be morons spewing lies. Learn from trustworthy sources.

Be thankful to Allah you are one of those that he has guided :)

Why 5 years eh?

10 years is nicer. I loved every day of it.

But seeking `Ilm (knowledge) never ends. It is "Minal Mahd ilal Lahd" (From the cradle to the grave). A person studies under senior `Ulamaa for x number of years, yes. That doesn't mean his journey is over once he moves past that. He continues to seek `Ilm until the day he dies. It's a lifelong thing.
 
So true, masha'allah. [MENTION=19166]huzaifa[/MENTION]h ibn Adam.

An alim is not just about getting a certificate but rather implementing what was taught and being a dedicated student of knowledge for the rest of your life - and preaching it to others :ia:

Absolutely. A certificate alone counts for nothing. Sahaabah-e-Kiraam had no certificates. Ambiyaa had no certificates. Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم himself had no certificate! So the importance is not in having a piece of paper to put up on a wall; the importance lies in having `Ilm, acting upon that `Ilm yourself, first and foremost, and then conveying that `Ilm to others.

Imaam Maalik رحمة الله عليه used to say:

ليس العلم بكثرة الرواية, إنما هو نور يضعه الله في القلب​

"`Ilm is not in excessively narrating; rather, `Ilm is a Noor which Allaah Ta`aalaa places in the heart, and through this `Ilm, one is able to recognise and differentiate between what is Haqq (Truth) and what is Baatil (Falsehood)."
