A bit late...but Aims
Salaam,
Something i should have maybe done a lot earlier, but i think i need to clarify; my aims for the trip out to the middle east. I think this is important so i know how im progressing and so that i have goals to try aim for. Im finding that my work is a bit all over the place due to a lack of structure so inshaAllah this will help me out.
1) Learn Arabic - might seem obvious but thats the main thing im out here for. But "learn" is quite a broad term and i only have 6 months. At Qasid they have 5 levels and they say that by the time you finish level 5, you should be able to study Arabic like a born Arab at uni level i.e. how a person born and brought up in the UK would study English at university. If i stay at Qasid for the remainder of my time here, i will finish level 3...so not quite there but enough to hold a decent conversation iA
2) Islamic Needs - Im here out in the middle east with lots of scholars around me so might as well take advantage of this right...? I've already enrolled onto a aqueeda class and am also taking a class on the famous 40 hadith by Imam Nawawi with this guy called Sheikh Imad, who has ijaza's from the Mufti of Egypt and Jordan to name a few and has taught at Harvard University. And Alh they're going well so far. I also want to do further tajweed so iA will do this next term.
3) Quran. Im trying to read a juz a day and alhamdulilla have been pretty consistent on it and want to continue this for the remainder of my time here. Also another Big aim is try try and make the 3 juz iv known by heart on and off for a while solid by the end of the 6 months iA.
There's quite a big difference (i think) between being able to read/write speak qur'anic Arabic and then be able to understand the qur'an when hearing it or reading it. So they have a class here specifically on particulars wrt Arabic of the qur'an so might take this next term. But i also want to emphasize more of my study on quranic passages.
4) To have fun. Again, i don't know if or when il be back out here, so another aim (which hopefully wont distract me from the aims above...) is to visit as many countries in this region as possible, see as much as i can and sample Arab culture, or whats left of it, in these countries...
We'll see how many of these i can tick off by the end of my 6 months here...
Salaam.
