Lesson 1: The Definition and Virtue of Knowledge 📖 Taʿlīm al-Mutaʿallim Ṭarīq al-Taʿallum 🎙️ Taught by Mufti Sayyid Abdul Samad al-Qadiri 📺 Live on YouTube In this opening lesson of our four-part study of Taʿlīm al-Mutaʿallim, we begin by exploring the foundations of seeking sacred knowledge. Imām Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī opens his timeless work by discussing the definition of knowledge (ʿilm) and jurisprudence (fiqh), the immense virtue of learning in Islam, and the types of knowledge that are individually obligatory (farḍ ʿayn) upon every Muslim. Topics covered in this lesson include: • The meaning of ʿilm and fiqh according to the scholars • The virtues and merits of sacred knowledge in the Qur’an and Sunnah • The distinction between beneficial and non-beneficial knowledge • The concept of farḍ ʿayn knowledge and what every Muslim must learn • Why knowledge is the foundation of worship and spiritual growth • An overview of the structure and chapters of Taʿlīm al-Mutaʿallim This lesson lays the groundwork for the rest of the course and helps students understand not only what to learn, but why learning occupies such a central place in the Islamic tradition. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you do not miss the remaining lessons in this series. #TaʿlimAlMutaʿallim #SeekingKnowledge #IslamicStudies #Hanafi #MuslimDreamers #MuftiAbdulSamad #IslamicEducation #TalibAlIlm #SacredKnowledge #LearningHowToLearn
