English Meaning: All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah the Most High from the evils of our own selves and from our wicked deeds. Whomever Allah guides cannot be misguided, and whomever Allah He leaves astray, cannot be guided. I testify that there is no true god worthy of being worshipped except Allah alone without any partner or associate, I further testify that Muhammad (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam) is His true slave and Messenger. May Allah salah and Salaam be also granted to the prophet's pure family and to all of his noble companions.

Please sign in with the name you intend to use for the rest of the course, and the name that you have registered with when you subscribed inshaAllah. This will prevent mistakes in grading and the possibility of receiving a boot upon entry for unrecognized participants.

This course covers many aspects of the religion inshaAllah, for a guide on each subject we use the book “Important Lessons for every Muslim written by Shaykh Bin Baaz (rahimahullah). In addition to that we use other beneficial text as an aide or for additional reading to extract the benefits from several scholars on the same subject matter inshaAllah

You will be asked to participate on a regular basis (smile) there will be no hiding in the background. I know that having shyness is a wonderful and beneficial quality for the Muslimah to possess. However, in regards to seeking knowledge remember that “Allah will exalt, in degree those of you who believe and who have been granted knowledge. And Allah is Aware of what you do.” 58:11

And from the hadeeth we have narrated to us from Mujahid “Neither a shy nor proud person can learn the religious knowledge.” and Aisha (radi allahu anha) said “How excellent the women of the Ansar are! They do not feel shy while learning sound knowledge in religion.” Sahih Bukhari. The Book of Knowledge. Hadith No. 131

Reading Assignment 1(RA1): Sahih Bukhari. Volume 1. Chapter: The Book of Knowledge. Hadith No. 132. Narrated by Um Salama

Today’s Lesson inshaAllah begins with Lesson two from the book. The Pillars of Islam. If you have the books please turn to page 93. If you do not have the book you will need to listen closely and record notes as best you can inshaAllah, until you are able to acquire the text desired. There is no worksheet for today’s lesson however you will be given an assignment for homework inshaAllah
