Before you read this post do listen to this Zaytuna clip:

Audio Clip from \”The Prohetic Characteristics\” by Ustadh Yahya Rhodus

Now you will have, insha Allah, realised the importance of three things:

1. Ilm - Seeking Sacred Knowledge

2. Amal - Implementing the above

3. Dawah - Spreading this divine trust

Arguably the best way to seek this Ilm is by sitting with a living Scholar with permission to teach from his teacher all the way back to the Messenger of Allah Sallahu Alayhi Wa Alihi Wa Sallam.

However there often are obstacles on this path, and for this reason the system of Online Learning was developed.

There are many great Online Learning sites out there such as

• Sunnipath - Arguably the best and most famous!
• Zaytuna Distance Learning - Simply Excellent with great teachers!
• Shaykh Faraz Rabbani’s new Organisation, SeekersMedia
• The Haqa Halaqa - Great lessons with Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ahmed (Frederickes) studying various texts and applying them to our lives- ALL FREE!

Most of these include both recorded and live lessons, and require a level of dedication.

You can also benefit greatly from the the Sites dedicated to certain of the Ulema, such as:

• al-Habib Umar bin Hafiz
• al-Habib ‘Ali al-Jifri
• al-Habib Husain as-Saqqaf
• al-Habib Munzir al-Musawwa
• Shaykh Sai’d Ramadan al-Buti and Shaykh as-Sayyid Muhammad al-Ya’qoubi

Using these Sites you can dowload the scholars Khutabhs and Lessons, convert them to MP3’s and put them on your Portable Player.

Insha Allah this will suffice you, May Allah bless and reward you,

Please keep me in your duas,

From Shaykh Khalil Moore’s excellent blog:

Bismillah.
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

The following are recordings from the huge Mawlid gathering held at Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, Yemen on Monday, March 31, 2008.

There are two files here (both of which start a little late but finish till the end):

1. Arabic audio of singing and speeches: This file is 2 hour and 17 minutes long. The singing is from the beginning of the file until minute marker 32:25, at which point the speeches start.
2. Live English simultaneous interpretation: This file is 1 hour long. Note: Please realize how difficult it is to do a simultaneous interpretation (and believe me, this faqir knows this first hand!) and that there may be a few omissions and or slight mistakes. It is always best to ask or double check if something was not clear (rather than assume or formulate a bad opinion).

The order of the noble and distinguished speakers:

• Habib Ali Mashhour bin Hafiz (the Mufti of Tarim and older brother of Sayyidi al-Habib Umar bin Hafiz)
• Habib Abdullah bin Shihab (the noble son of one of Habib Umar bin Hafiz’s most respected teachers)
• Habib Salim al-Shatiri
• Habib Umar bin Hafiz (the Dean of Dar al-Mustafa for Islamic Studies)

“All turuq agree on “Good Companionship”

Listen to Shaykh as-Sayyid al-Habib Umar Bin Hafiz on this topic.

(Al-Habib ‘Umar bin Hafiz is a descendant of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, through his grandson Imam Hussain, may Allah be pleased with him. He was born in Tarim, Hadramaut in Yemen, and raised in a household that possessed a tradition and lineage of Islamic scholarship and righteousness, his father being the famous martyr, scholar, and caller to Islam Al-Habib Muhammad bin Salim.

Having memorized the Qur’an at a very early age, Habib ‘Umar also memorized the core texts in fiqh, hadith, Arabic Language, and other religious sciences. He studied many sciences including spirituality from his father Al-Habib Muhammad bin Salim, acquiring from him a deep love and concern for da’wah and religious counsels in the way of Allah. He attended numerous circles of knowledge held by many traditional scholars, such as Muhammad bin ‘Alawi bin Shihab and al-Shaikh Fadl Baa Fadl. Later, he enrolled at the Ribat of al-Bayda’, where he began to study the traditional sciences under the expert tutelage of Al-Habib Muhammad bin ‘Abd-Allah al-Haddar, as well as under the Shafi‘i jurist and scholar Al-Habib Zain bin Sumait. Habib ‘Umar was given permission to teach soon after. Afterwards, he began to visit many neighboring towns and communities across Yemen and studied with the mufti of Ta‘iz, al-Habib Ibrahim bin Aqil bin Yahya, who began to show him much love and attention. He received similar treatment from his Shaikh al-Habib Muhammad al-Haddar, who gave him his daughter’s hand in marriage after being impressed by his uprightness and intelligence. Al-Habib ‘Umar then traveled to the Hijaz and studied several books with prominent scholars, including Al-Habib ‘Abdul Qadir bin Ahmad al-Saqqaf, Al-Habib Ahmed Mashur al-Haddad, and Al-Habib ‘Attas al-Habashi.

Wherever Habib ‘Umar has gone, no stone has been left unturned in his attempt to revive the love of Allah and His Messenger, peace and blessing be upon him, in the hearts of people. After returning to Tarim, he established Dar al-Mustafa, an educational institute to which students from across the world have come to study. Habib ‘Umar currently lives in Tarim, where he oversees the development of Dar al-Mustafa and the many schools that have been set up under his management.)
