I recently enrolled on a course to learn Arabic in understanding the quran, and I am English speaking. Academically I am not of a high level, in writing or reading English. Since I have started the course, I am having major problems understanding, learning, and memorizing what I have learnt. I just feel really thick, and illiterate. I am really struggling to find a cure to this problem. Please can you advise me on anything to do from the Sunnah to improve my situation. First of all I know to ask Allah swt in my duas which I am doing. But other than that I am really struggling.

Arabic language is not easy and it is something normal to feel that. Just ask Allah’s help and work harder for longer times and He will make it easy for you.

Sheikh, there are some Ahadith which warn against “evil scholars”. How do we have to understand them? Could you clarify this matter, please. Is it true that the Prophet (sas) feared them more than the Dajjal for his Ummah?

There is nothing more dangerous than the dajjal. Evil scholars are those who twist and manipulate shariah laws to fit their desires and whims.

He can give a fatwa if he is qualified to give one. Faqih is a person who has understanding of the fiqh issues.. Mufti is the grand scholar who gives Islamic fatwa or verdicts.

Do all the books of ibn Kathir include information from Christian and Jewish sources like “Qasas ul Anbiya”? I want to read “Ghazwat ul Rasul”, “Al-Sira Al-Nabawiyya”, and “Al Bidayah Wa Al Nihayah”. All these are by ibn Kathir. But it is confusing to me if there are citations other than Quran and Sunnah. Please advice.

I joined in a sisters only online class on The Names of Allaah. Later I found out that they claim that we are all salafis and we should not listen to Dr Zakir naik’s lectures as he does bidah, but as far as I know Dr Zakir Naik gives Da’wah in the way of the Quran and Sunnah. can I attend their classes as I don’t know what they are saying is correct or wrong ?

I went to visit my brother and his family. In their local masjid some brothers get together to gain some islamic knowledge everyday after Isha. they use to read some books 1. Hayatus sahaba 2.

I haven’t read these two books but if these are the books that Tableeghi people read from, they most likely have weak narrations! It is best to read Riyadhul Saliheen.
