Instructions: There is no specific time limit, the only condition I ask of you is to not cheat, once you have started the exam, do not go back to your notes, check in the Qur’aan, internet etc. You are however allowed to revise BEFORE starting the exam and reading the questions, but once you start the exam  you are only allowed to rely upon what you know. And I do realize that I will not be able to tell who has been honest or not whilst answering the questions, but I think highly of you so please do not cheat yourselves. May Allaah make it easy for you all.

1. a) In this book the Shaikh mentions 10 things that nullify a persons islaam, we mentioned two reasons during our class why he only restricted himself to these 10, what are these two reasons?

b) We mentioned four conditions that scholars say have to be met in order for a muslim to be declared a kaafir after  he has fallen into clear kufr, one of these were that the person has to be baaligh (age of puberty) and ‘Aaqil (sane) what were the three other conditions?

4. a) Are you allowed to have a non muslim friend? Does this not fall  underneath loving the non muslims?

I do not like doing this but I saw a need for it due to the numerous brothers and sisters who ask, who is Aboo Thaabit? Who does he study with etc? And in reality this is something important i.e. that you know who you take your knowledge from (you ask with manners).

Thus I decided to write a list of the main/some scholars I have/am studied/studying with and I ask Allaah to save me both from riyaa’ and the evil eye.

If after reading this you still do not find peace of mind studying  with me, I ask Allaah to guide you towards someone much better than myself whom you will benefit more from.

Smart phones

Posted Jan 16, 2011 by Aboo Thaabit with 52 Comments

One of the ways of helping your da’wah grow, is to keep up with technology and even though I am young it is sometimes difficult to keep up with all these new gadgets and stuff.

However I am pleased to say that now the da’waah includes blackberry phones as well as iPhones. Meaning that whoever has a blackberry phone and uses the blackberry messenger service can now add Aboo Thaabit and receive beneficial reminders and gems about Islaam, same goes for iPhone/Android users.

This is what you do.

Blackberry users: Add the pin 21C40189 and inshaaAllaah you’ll be receiving reminders shortly (sometimes there is a glitch in the system and you will not receive any broadcasts, please delete me and re add me if you don’t receive a reminder for more than a week)

iPhone/Android users: Download the application Whatsapp (it is very cheap and worth it inshaaAllaah) and then email your number to ismaiil_84@msn.com and you will be added and ready to receive reminders.

For all other people who don’t have any of these smart phones do not despair! The regular SMS service will still be running to the best of its ability. To sign up for that, just check the right hand column and follow the instructions.
