What’s our curriculum in the Sharia faculty at Al-Azhar University?

[@AbuIshaaqAbdullaah]

Let me say this ,Al Azhar is one of the greatest and amongst the longest schools in the WORLD TODAY that has been teaching the Islamic sciences for years raising great scholars and students of knowledge . Many of us differ with their creed but let’s not down play the Khair the school brought and is bringing from Allaah’s bounty on not only the Egyptians but many benefited and went on back to teach the people the Islamic sciences. REALLY in today’s time with knowledge NOW ADAYS people need MATURITY. If you listen more and speak less you can benefit more. May Allaah reward this brother for sharing his thoughts and experiences from it perhaps someone can be motivated and truly embark on the journey of طلب العلم . Regardless of the place. The book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger can be learned anywhere with righteous people of taqwa and knowledge from anywhere, wherever they may come from or be .

1:35 - Al-Iqna' is Hanbali? (Edit: The Shafais have their own al Iqna aswell. Nice)

[@DaudBurke]

Nah this is the shafi’i one by الخطيب الشربيني yea both are major books in each madhhab

[@zaidm1134]

@DaudBurke Cool

[@Bulayla1426]

What book of hadith al ahkaam you guys use therr? Besides buligh do yall use muntaqa or others? Or os there not much emphasis of this? In that case are madhab based hadith ahkam books like talkhees al habeer or irwaa ghalil be taught?

[@DaudBurke]

شرح عمدة الأحكام لابن دقيق العيد That’s all I’ve seen so far as far as Hadith alahkam

[@b150a4]

Asalamu Alaykum, I completed a university degree already (BSc ) and I dont know arabic. How many years do you think it will take me to complete Thanawiyya? 1 year? please answer

[@DaudBurke]

wa Aliekom Salam waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh You gotta learn Arabic first, give this a year and a half at least and then go through the placement testing and hopefully if you’ve done other studies as well, you can make it to the second year of thanawi and then finish out that year with musaabaqah which will complete the third year by merely testing out right after finishing the second year tests.

[@tarekbari3309]

Asalam Alakium brother, I am in Egypt and I wanted to ask you a question on how I may apply - certain specific questions that apply to my case ( I saw your videos)

[@DaudBurke]

wa Aliekom Salam waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh Find my contact info on my channel bio

[@naderramadan5587]

I have a question. Is there a maximum age for foreign (or even Egyptian students) who wish to apply to Al Azhar? Asking for someone who is 39 years old.

[@abumaalik9272]

No maximim age

[@DaudBurke]

It’s as he said, this is one of the big reasons that brought me there.

[@shpendimeri8958]

What's age limit to get accepted in Azhar ushtadh? Do you know anything about it?

[@DaudBurke]

No age limit

[@shpendimeri8958]

But one have to go through their madrasa (high school)? I mean, they don't accept ones high school from their county (in my case my swedish one)?

[@DaudBurke]

It has to be from a high school that is recognized by them. If you’re over 30 they have a program for older people which is basically the same curriculum, but not in a high school setting.

[@Shrec_5_fitSP]

Avoid the Ashari palace of azhar

Hahaha exactly but is not going to accept this advice

@@Shrec_5_fitSP thanks Shrek

[@Bulayla1426]

Learn where you can. Azhar has many sunnis there they just aren't in the heads. Some teachers are It'd similar to dar al hadith al ashrafiyya that al mizzi became the head of

[@curious-r8t]

What is that…..?

[@Amaad-ibn-Ajaz]

Isn't that the hat the asharis wear?

[@abelo2305]

nothing wrong it, athari shuyukh also wear it

[@AbdullahBinSadiq-d5l]

Its more of a cultural hat akhi.its like the egyptian hat

[@DaudBurke]

It’s an azhari Egyptian thing, not a Sufi or ashari symbol

[@nasircooper9260]

Let the brother wear what he wants sheesh sounds foolish making statements like that

[@DaudBurke]

I do this to bring the ignorant comments out in the open.

[@Abuaaliyah1]

As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu may Allāh reward you for your efforts on going in the path of Allāh to seek knowledge. I am not a hater but I just don’t understand some of the views you’ve expressed on the channel but you call yourself athari, and you went to azhar. Sheikh al hanabila Muhammad Sayyid al Hanbali definitely teaches against the salafi aqeedah. And i just don’t see the association of athari and azhari as related at all to taymii or salafi beliefs.

[@DaudBurke]

wa Aliekom Salam waRahmatullahi waBarakatuh ascribing oneself to the university doesn’t mean that you agree with everything they have to say, and the reality of the situation is are the teachers are a mix when it comes to their creed some of which are Salafi (although they might not publicize it on the job). You take the good and leave the bed and when your able to benefit from a vast majority, then this is much better than not going at all, and of course, the solid student of knowledge should be well equipped, and firmly grounded and follow up with what he learns and not just settle for hearing and taking everything from a select handful of shiyookh.

[@najeebjohnson7747]

@@DaudBurkeazhar legacy is ashari , there is no doubt about that . If You consider them mubtadi and not from ahlu sunnah, then why study there institutions, there are many salafi places to study , that is better than every time you speak about azhar it’s always with a negative or undermining comments along with it , whether it is you talking about the books of usul etc. If you always have to justify why you study there , you shouldn’t study there.

[@DaudBurke]

Do I have to justify why I study books from subki or attaftazini or annawawi, or zakariah alansari or alghazali or or or the list goes on. Just like I study and rely on them and all of the scholars in every place rely on them in their fields, I also rely on major institutions and no one is without some fault but we get what we can and I don’t know better of what I’m looking for where I’m looking for it than azhar.

[@briffasebastien7135]

No salafi scholars have advice to go to study in al ahzar university because they are ashari in belief so originally taking knowledge from the people of innovation is not hallowed execpt if you have no Joyce and you don't find anyone to teach you religion and Of course with condition that you are not studying aqida (creed) and that the innovator that teach you don't call to is innovation and as well that you should have some knowledge of the religion to protect you self from misunderstanding and misguidance so what you are saying doesn't make sense because those condition are not present to have the authorisation to study in thete so stop misguided people trying to advice Muslims to come to study in al azhar university

[@MichealFrenett-c4f]

The issues you raised have been dealt with in other videos. I don’t think people understand how a lot of Azhari professors , graduates and egypt study circles are Salafi . Salafiyyah isn’t only in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its universities . Yes Azhar as an institution teaches Ash’ari ‘Aqeedah . . If half a semester out of the entire school year or degree is spent on ‘Aqeedah and the other 97% of the time is spent on Fiqh and the other Islamic subjects . Then this program has much to be gained from . But you have to approach this as a mature student , do your due diligence , study proper ‘Aqeedah and build your foundations , and wherever you go inshallah you want be shaken . This is the same approach one should take when going to western university institutions , I’m surprised people don’t give the same amount of warning regarding those institution that clearly in doctrinate you with kufr . At least Azhar teaches you Shari’ah.

[@TheAdvocacyProject-x7p]

Well said brother! What I find astonishing that some of these brothers do not object in western university where the risk is much higher to deviate, but they have issues with Islamic universities.

[@DaudBurke]

What's your advice for the people of Egypt? Then do they have a university that they can go to? Yes, there are people who have warned against studying here. I know that, but also there are many Salafis in Egypt who have recommended it. But of course, if I were to go list out most of these names, I'd probably hear that they're just not scholars in response. I know that there are some deviant teachers, and I don't need to go sit under them or spend time with them, but I also know straight-up Salafi professors as well. And of course, these recommend studying there while taking precautions and going to the people of knowledge if there are any doubts that arise. Umar Sulayman al-Ashqar: he is just one of the many scholars that have gone there, and he got his master’s from there. ‏رحمة الله عليه of course, he is well known for his book ‏العقيدة في ضوء الكتاب والسنة and this is a highly recommended book. He is just one of the many that I will mention because anyone else I mentioned will just be subjected to unwarranted criticism because he went against the ones who said otherwise. Of course, Azhar University teaches many subjects. From engineering to medicine to commerce and biology. All of these things are taught inside the university. Generally, people that go there will be learning these things separated from the opposite gender and will also have some classes that will teach them issues from the religion. They will study Hadith and classes that have to do with sociology. You weren't going to find this if they went to the American Cairo University, and you're going to find that they're all mixed in these other secular universities, but because of some deviance in their official creed, you're born against them and then allow them to go to these other places that are pushing kufr. Also, these quotes that you gave aren't Quran or Hadith. These are the opinions of men subject to debate and in a certain time and place in a certain environment. So to copy and paste these quotes and expect them to be understood in our day and age, and in our circumstances as they were then is a sign of a lack of fiqh.

[@TheAdvocacyProject-x7p]

​@briffasebastien7135 The scholars also distinguished innovation that leads a person outside the fold of islam, and those innovations don't lead outside the fold of islam. For example, the Shia rafidas or ahmedias or Quranists are too innovators but are NOT like Muslims who fell into innovation. The two are NOT the same. As long as they are Muslims, they deserve our rights and treatment of brotherhood. It is important that we do not misapply the statements of the salaf out of context in a way that it contradicts the general normative teaching of brotherhood in the Quran and sunnah. Allah said: The believers are but brothers, so make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah that you may receive mercy. Surat al-Hujurat 49:10 Allah said: The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. Surat al-Tawba 9:71 Allah said: Cooperate in righteousness and piety, and do not cooperate in sin and aggression. Surat Al-Ma’idah 5:2 The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sent him and Mu’adh to Yemen and he said, “Make things easy and do not make things difficult. Give glad tidings and do not repel people. Cooperate with each other and do not become divided.” Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3038, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1733 The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5665, Grade: Muttafaqun Alayhi In another narration, the Prophet said: The Muslims are like a single man. If the eye is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted. If the head is afflicted, then the whole body is afflicted. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2586, Grade: Sahih Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said after quoting the hadeeth of 73 sects in the debate: Then I said: Not that whoever goes even slightly against this aqeedah then he is doomed. 1. Sometimes who differ is a Mujtahid who makes a mistake, Allah will forgive his mistake. 2, And it can also happen that the one who differ is ignorant.. 3. Sometimes Allah will forgive his mistakes due to his good deeds…. Rather the meaning of this saying is that whoever believed this is saved, and whoever believed against this is sometimes saved other times he is not. Like it is said whoever remained silent, he is saved [Majmoo al Fatawa
