ʿUmar wrote to his armies: learn Arabic | at-Taʾṣīl, Leicester #Shorts

"Learn Arabic." — the instruction ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb put in writing to his armies.

Arabic is not easy. But how would you know the Qurʾān, or know the Sunnah, without it?

Ustādh Emran Ahmed, week two of at-Taʾṣīl — the Foundation Diploma in Islamic Studies at the International Islamic College, Leicester. ʿAqīdah, fiqh, tafsīr, ḥadīth and Arabic, one evening a week, taught from the classical texts.

23 students enrolled. Admissions close Sunday 4 October. Study in the masjid, or online from anywhere.

«تَعَلَّمُوا الْعَرَبِيَّةَ» — al-Bayhaqī, as-Sunan al-Kubrā 3/342, from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī from ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu); connected chain, trustworthy narrators. It is ʿUmar's own word, not a ḥadīth of the Prophet ﷺ.
