Sabeel Ijma' & Qiyas Retreat
Tuesday, 05 January 2010

Alhamdulillah the much anticipated Ijma (consensus) and Qiyas (analogy) retreat took place over the Christmas Holidays (24-28 December). It was by the grace of Allah a success. Eighty brothers attended – all the brothers doubling up in the rooms – I don’t think we could accommodate anymore! Many were regular and others had come for the first time. The retreat began with an emotional reminder by Shaikh Haitham about the reality of this life and the importance of the study of Ijma and Qiyas. This can be viewed here: video link

Thursday, 08 October 2009

Alhamdulillah, we completed a successful Sabeel Sunnah Retreat in Markfield. There were over 70 brothers in total, some of them coming for the first time. Shaikh Haitham delivered the definitions, recording and history of the Sunnah. Ustadh Abu Rumaysah delivered an important section about the authority of the Sunnah that was focusing on the Aahaad Ahadith and the usage of daeef ahadith. The Sabeel Admin was very happy to have Shaikh Ahmad Al-Barouni to deliver some sessions on the science of hadeeth especially as his PhD was on the Saheehul Bukhari. We had a fruitful workshop conducted by Ustadh Fraz about Abu Bakra (RadiAllahuanhu).
