Bismillahirahman Ar-Raheem
Praise be to Allah for allowing me the opportunity to study His book and the language of His book for TEN WHOLE months. It is very rare that anybody gets this opportunity and I am very grateful to Him. I will have to admit that I had other plans for my life during this time period and when my plans did not go through, I was very disappointed and frustrated. After learning to deal with it and learning to practice patience, this opportunity fell in my lap. Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. Allah had better plans for me.
For anybody who is interested in applying to the program, you can get more information here. The application process is not difficult, and one is not required to know any arabic to enter the program. You are, however, required to be able to read arabic and read Qur'an with proper pronunciation. The program focuses on Qur'anic arabic and arabic grammar. It should be the goal of every Muslim to learn this language, because this is our language, the language of our book, the language of our deen.
In the following posts, I, as a humble student of knowledge, will be sharing some thoughts as well as some gems of balaaghah (eloquence) of the Qur'an. There is so much beauty in the way the Qur'an was written that we miss out on in translation. What I will be learning in these ten months will only touch the surface of an ocean of knowledge.
