A Poetic Journey
Selections from the Diwan of Imam al-Shafi’i
(Sisters only)
In this 6-week course, we will travel through the esteemed and renowned book of poetry (al-Diwan) of Imam al-Shafi’i, taking one poem from every chapter insha’Allah. Although known for his expertise in Fiqh (Jurisprudence) and Usul, Imam al-Shafi’i was also a legend in the Arabic language, literature, and poetry. We will insha’Allah study poetry covering a number of themes, from life lessons to Islamic advice and reminders, unearthing wisdoms and Arabic gems as we traverse across this amazing collection. A true literature-lover’s dream.

Asalamoalaikum sister,
I very much enjoy you interpretations and understanding of the various verses thus I am very excited to take this course. However I understand this is an online course so I was wondering what will be the media/channel/app that we will be connecting through and how will it be conducted. Jazakallah khair!
Wa `alaykumusalam sister,
The medium will be Wiziq insha’Allah – an online classroom with audio, whiteboard, coursebook etc. as well as recordings and a discussion group. Everything will be set up before the course starts insha’Allah so hopefully will be easy to navigate and keep up with the course 🙂
salam
i was wondering if this book has been translated to english.
No, books of poetry are rarely translated from what I know.
Can you recommend anything similar for men?
I haven’t come across anything for brothers, sorry.
Salam,
Is this book available to buy? I’m really interested in the Arabic too. Will the course cover any of the Arabic material and translate directly as we go along? Or will the material be already translated?
Jazakillah
The Arabic Diwan is widely available both online (you can get free PDF copies too) and in Arabic shops. Yes insha’Allah, in the course we will cover the Arabic and render it into English with meanings and exploration.
Salaam from Singapore. I’m really keen to join this. Will the sessions be recorded and available for viewing?
Asalamoalaikum dear sister
I won’t be able to attend the course online because the timing doesn’t suit my schedule. Can I pay and get the recordings to listen to when I’m able to?
JazakAllah khair
Nur and Tabassum, yes there will be recordings insha’Allah so you can catch any lessons that you miss and follow the course in your own time.
I live in Taif, and work 🙂 Sunday being the first working day of the week. How will I have access?
You’ll be given access to a web portal which contains all the handouts and seminars as and when they are given insha’Allah (so you can catch up with Sunday’s class from Monday onwards).
Asalaamu alaykum, how will the hour be devised in terms of focus? Is there a strong emphasis on the Arabic? JazakAllah khair!
Wa `alaykumusalam,
The hour is dedicated to sharh of the poetry, and we’ll try to get through roughly 3 poems a session insha’Allah. There will be focus on the Arabic, but for the purpose of understanding the poems and not necessarily from a grammar perspective, if that’s what you meant.
Salam sis i have a BASIC laptop and poor internet. Will i need to download wiziq? What do i need to acess the course as i wish to purchase iA
Wa `alaykumusalam,
You only need internet access, everything (including links and downloads) will be provided online insha’Allah.
Salaam aleykum 🙂
I pray this finds you well. Was wondering, upon the completion of this course, is there any sort of acknowledgment/ certificate?
JazakAllahu khayr!
May Allah bless you!
Wa `alaykumusalam,
Nothing official is awarded, but the ‘ilm and benefit is there for the taking insha’Allah 🙂
Assalaamu alaykum.
Will we be able to get the recording even if we tune in live to listen again?
Wa `alaykumusalam,
Yes, recordings are available to all students, even if they attended the live sessions.
I would like to join this course. Is it too late to enrol?
