Last month, by the grace of Allāh, Al Sharaf Institute successfully commenced its new academic year with the annual iftitāh ceremony.

Our esteemed faculty (Shaykh Issarar, Shaykh Mubeen, Shaykh Sufyan), under the guidance and leadership of Shaykh Naveed Jameel, shared profound words of wisdom and guidance, marking the beginning of another blessed journey in pursuit of sacred knowledge.

We were deeply privileged to host Shaykh al-Hadīth, Muftī Fazal Subhān al-Qādirī حفظه الله. In a powerful address, he reminded us of the virtues of seeking knowledge and stressed the absolute necessity of rigorous academic discipline. He noted that without a rigorous foundation in the traditional sciences, one cannot truly serve as an authentic representative or spokesperson for the faith.

Shaykh then concluded the session by leading heartfelt prayers for the success of our students and educators.

We humbly request your continued prayers for everyone at Al-Sharaf, that Allāh accepts our efforts in service to the Deen.

Mawlid Mubarak from everyone at Al-Sharaf Institute!

Hear from our honourable teacher, Shaykh Issarar Hussain.

طَهَّرَهُ اللَّهُ حَمَاهُ اخْتَارَهُ
وَمَا بَرَى كَمِثْلِهِ إِنْسَانَا

وَبِحُبِّهِ وَبِذِكْرِهِ وَالنَّصْرِ وَالتَّ
وْقِيرِ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ قَدْ أَوْصَانَا

Allah made him pure, protected him, and chose him, and never has a person been created like him.

And to love him, remember him, support him, and revere him is a commandment to us from the Lord of the Throne.

Allāh says in the 29th verse of al-Baqarah:

هُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَسَوَّىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍۢ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌۭ

‘It is He who created everything in the earth for you, then He intended to form the sky, so He fashioned it into seven skies, and He has complete knowledge of everything.’

al-Imām al-Suyūtī writes under ‘جميعا’:

‘لتنتفعوا به و تعتبروا’

al-‘Allāmah al-Sāwī mentions in his commentary on the Jalālayn the manner in which benefit can be sought from everything in creation, whether tangibly (ظاهرا) or ecologically (باطنا). As for predatory animals, then their benefit lies in the lessons learnt from them. al-Sāwī concludes by saying that there is nothing that is created except that within its creation, there is a wisdom that embezzles the mind.

In this lesson, Shaykh Issarar Hussain highlights this concept through the example of a vulture, inviting us to reflect upon the remarkable design and purpose evident throughout His creation.

As we approach the ‘Urs of Imām Ahmad Ridā Khān al-Hanafī al-Māturīdī رحمه الله, we invite you to witness a glimpse of the extraordinary eloquence that earned him recognition as one of the greatest scholars and poets of his age.

In this lesson, our Year 3 students explore the rhetorical devices of tashbīh malfūf (where all the things being compared (the mushabbahs) come first, followed by all the things to which they are compared (the mushabbah bihis)), and tashbīh mafrūq (where each mushabbah is immediately followed by its corresponding mushabbah bihi).

During this lesson, Shaykh illustrates how the Imām masterfully wove these forms of eloquence into just one poem of his…

He writes:

سر تا بقدم ہے تن سُلطانِ زَمن پھول
لب پھول دَہن پھول ذَقن پھول بدن پھول

دندان و لب و زلف و رُخِ شہ کے فِدائی
ہیں دُرِّ عدن ، لعلِ یمن ، مُشکِ ختن پھول

This shows that his poetry was not only filled with love for the RasūlAllāh ﷺ, but also crafted with magnificent command of the Arabic sciences and the art of Rhetoric.
