Description from the publisher:
This workbook is not for individual self-study; rather it is the workbook used to follow along with the new class at al-Masjid al-Awwal (live in Pittsburgh or online from anywhere); beginning in the first week of 1440; in shaa' Allah. Classes are taught live from this workbook; broadcast worldwide. No registration is required. Simply get the workbook and follow along from wherever you are. Also; the recorded lessons are available on al-Masjid al-Awwal's Spreaker Channel. This workbook contains all 131 narrations of Kitaab al-Jaami' from Buloogh al-Maraam; along with an English translation of each one. It has been designed to provide structured guidance for note-taking. With each hadeeth; as a routine; we learn about the Companion(s) who narrated it and the imam(s) who collected it. Important points; based primarily on the explanation of Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan; follow in numbered lists; with adequate space for notes. It is hoped that students who may normally struggle with note-taking may learn how to identify the most important points of a class and improve this essential skill. In this study of 131 hadeeth narrations; we will learn and/or be reminded about –in shaa' Allah- the importance of refining one's character; some good manners to work on; some bad manners to avoid; and some important personal supplications to be used throughout our day and night. In Section One; we study 16 narrations about essential everyday manners in basic interactions. Then; 14 narrations zoom in on some of the most important manners connected to kindness and keeping ties in Section Two. In Section Three; 11 narrations inspire us to be more pious; more focused on the Hereafter; and less materialistic; in shaa' Allah. Section Four includes 40 narrations warning us from various manifestations of bad character; while Section Five includes 19 more narrations about more ways to apply good character. Finally; in the last section; we study 31 narrations about remembrance and supplication. While memorizing all of these narrations is indeed quite helpful; the last section; most specifically; should be given special attention.
