Its time to study! A beneficial Salafi Program.

[amr.basheer]

It is a reading program and my intention is to go through it so that you have;

1] A list to follow to start your library and then knowing which category they fall under, so you can put them in order.

2) A reading and studying program; put in to levels to be taken step by step. Remember Islamic knowledge is aquired slowly; step by step.

3) Notes on each book, so that you have a general idea what the book is about.

4) At the end you will have general idea of what is contained in the branches of Islamic knowledge.

Shaikh Usaamah starts of the book by mentioning the proofs for the merits of knowledge. It’s learning and teaching. Then he gives advice for those attending lectures and intending to study.

He encourages reading, memorising and taking notes. Reading SLOWLY and CAREFULLY. Repeat important points. As if you have memorised the sentence or point. Then make sure you understand that sentence before you move on. When you gather with friends, talk about what you read and exchange knowledge. Anything which is not clear, make a note and ask someone who has knowledge.

My advice is when you have learnt sufficient Arabic, then make contact with scholars. Firstly try to visit them and make a relationship with one or two, whatever is easy. So when you are back in the UK you have someone to call when you have an issue, or when you need advice. Build your relationships and get closer to the people of knowledge.
