Lesson 1.1
Accompanying Text for Lesson 1.1
Please note that the English is merely a guide – as opposed to an accurate translation – as to what the matn (text) refers to. We ask Allah for forgiveness for the inevitable mistakes.
This lesson covers:
- Sources of Sacred Law
- Definitions and Legal Implications of ‘Specific’ and ‘General’ words in the Book of Allah Most High.
Sources of Sacred Law
- The Book of Allah – al-Qur’an
- The Sunna of His Messenger [Peace & Blessings be upon him]
- Ijma [Consensus]
- Qiyas or analogical reasoning
Definitions of Specific (Khaas) and General (‘Aam)
Specific (Khaas) can be of three essential types:
- Khaas al Fard (Specific Individual) – For example ‘Zaid’ would be Khaas al Fard
- Khaas al Naw‘ (Specific Class) – Examples of this are ‘Man’, ‘Woman’
- Khaas al Jins (Specific Species) – For example ‘Mankind’, ‘Animals’
General (‘Aam) refers to a word which refers to an unspecified number of particular Species – ‘Mankind’
Will the whole of Usul al-Shashi and Nur al-Ida be avilable online?
InshaAllah that is the plan. Make dua that we are able to complete the tasks. The Usul classes are still continuing in Dewsbury but the Nur al Idah and Quduri are completed and coming to completion respectively. As such the audio material is mostly complete but it takes a little time to section the relevant text and match it with what is covered in each audio lecture.
That’s good to hear, masha Allah.
Also, are you planning to post all of the Quduri lessons?
Jazakum Allahu khayran
inshaAllah that is the plan, but it’ll will be uploaded a bit at a time.
Salam do you have a rough idea on how long it will take to upload more lessons?
not at present as attaching their are few different books to catalogue with the relevant text audio and guide to the meanings, inshaAllah after then end of this month they should be posted more regularly inshaAllah. Sorry for the delay
salaam,
There is an edited version of Usul al-Shashi available on attahawi.com
Jazakallah khair Sayyidi. In my view attahawi.com has to be one of the best sites on the internet -May Allah reward them. They do have an edited copy which is what we are using for the accompanying text (although set out differently) but in thr class it was the dar al Kutub ‘Ilmiyyah Ed. that was used, which explains any slight differences in reading from the Shaykh and what you might see on the pages provided.
Salaam, will these classes be available online? Jazakallah khair
There will be live classes but not necessarily these specific ones. As well as Arabic and fiqh there will be an Orientation course delivered online in Usul al Fiqh and Mustalaha al Hadith. Details will be announced as soon possible.
Salam is the rest of the book also posted?
A.w.w i was very deleigted to see usul al shashi in english but unfortunatly it is only one lesson alongside for the qadoori book aswell. i will really appriciate it if more lesson are uploaded as their are many students that find this kitab hard and will benefit if more lessons for both kitabs are upoaded in english. JazakAllah.
InshaAllah they will be uploaded also. It should be noted the difficulty with Texts such as Usul al-Shashi remains even when an effective translation is present or the student is comfortable with the arabic text. This is an indication of how sophisticated the early scholars were and the level of genius they had. InshaAllah for this reason we will be running an online orientation course on Usul al-Fiqh that will make understanding and approaching these books easier.
Salam Brother Javed,
Hope things going well.
When is the next Usul Al-shashi lesson going to be uploaded?
JazakAllah khaira
Salaam sidi Javed
