“Don’t worship Allah so He may give you. Rather, worship Him so He may be pleased. For when He is pleased, He will astonish you with His Gifts.”
By the dawn
And the ten nights
And the even and the odd
O you tranquil soul!
Return to your Lord, well-pleased and pleasing
[al-Fajr: 1-3; 27-28]
Loftiness is attained in accordance to one’s struggles,
And whoever seeks nobility, remains vigilant by night.
Whoever wishes to achieve without due effort,
Will waste their life seeking what’s impossible.
You search for glory and yet you sleep at night,
It’s only the seeker of pearls who dives deep into the sea.
– Imam al-Shafi’i, al-Diwan

New Arabic L1.1 Classes for sisters!
.: Arabic Level 1.1 :.
For sisters only
Insha’Allah, I will be starting a 4-month course in Harrow studying Arabic but I want to make it a little different. I’ve come across a lot of sisters who’ve studied Arabic and maybe even completed books but in the end, they’ve struggled to really understand the language and can barely remember much of it. I thus wanted to run a beginner’s Arabic course to help avoid this common pitfall.
This is a course which I’ve tailored to include comprehension and also spoken Arabic. First level will aim to cover the whole of the Bayna Yadayk Book 1 as a base text, but with supplements from external sources such as Classical Arabic texts, Qur’anic sciences, Arabic poetry, Linguistical Tafsir, and more. It will include a slow introduction of grammar and morphology so that more focus is given on actually understanding the Arabic and being able to absorb and speak it insha’Allah.
Term: 14th Sep – 28 Dec
Dates: Every Sunday
Time: 11am – 2pm
Venue: Leading Life Centre, 1-3 Manor Parade, Sheepcote Rd, Harrow HA1 2JN
Course fee: £40 a month
Entry requirements: Students should be able to read and write basic Arabic.
