What books do you explain in al-Qasim, and do you start from the beginning?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence the Shaykh! We love you for the sake of Allah, and I hope you will inform us about your daily lessons in al-Qasim and the books you explain. Then I hope you will clarify for us the books you explain at the start of the break, and whether you start from the beginning or continue with them. Then I hope you will give Riyadh a share of your knowledge, especially in the housing district, so that you explain some knowledge to us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Give me, oh one person.
The questioner : I hope you will inform us about your daily lessons in al-Qasim and the books you explain?
The Shaykh : Yes, our daily lessons, and praise be to Allah, are every day, meaning every night, throughout the year, except in Ramadan or on days of travel for a need. We study tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), but not from a specific book; rather, we explain the mushaf (written copy of the Qur'an). We also study hadith, and Abu Murrah, and al-Bukhari and Muslim. The teacher also studies fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), such as al-Zad, and also al-Kafi. We study some of the works of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, such as Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim (Following the Straight Path) and Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim (Refutation of the People of the Hellfire). As for the break, in addition to that, in the morning session we also study tafsir, but based on Tafsir al-Jalalayn. We also study al-Muntaqa in hadith, and al-Rawd al-Murba' in fiqh. We also study 'aqidah (creed); sometimes al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah and sometimes al-'Aqidah al-Safariniyyah, depending on what is feasible and what the students raise. As for whether we start or continue, we continue, because it is not possible to start from the beginning every break. If we did, the last books would never be read. Rather, we continue, and if the new brothers stay with us, they will attain good, especially in tafsir. Tafsir has no beginning and no end; the Qur'an is similar (mutashabih) from its beginning to its end. And among them are some prominent students who study the students who are beginners.
The questioner : As I also hope you will give Riyadh a share of your knowledge, especially in the housing district, so that you explain some knowledge to us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : As for giving Riyadh something of our knowledge, we will not be stingy with it. The tapes, and praise be to Allah, are available, and the writings are available. As for us coming physically to Riyadh, that is difficult for them. Then know that if the lessons are interrupted, the students become bored and turn away from studying. So if a person keeps them in check by remaining and being consistent, this is stronger for the students. Yes.
