Gems from students who have already done the course previously... see what you're missing!
Charity is a contract. I have learnt that in marriage contracts you can make conditions such as Emaan’s (in the case study) which I hope to follow.

The honest business man will be raised with Prophets in Paradise. Subhanallah!One who owns the land, owns the sky above itYou grow in your knowledge and wisdom every time you learn something new about Islam. Brothers & Sisters do not take this lightly.

Marriage is a compromise.
To boycott or not to boycott. It is one thing to know the strongest opinion, it is another to actually know how to apply it!
If Allah (SWT) has prohibited a product, he has also prohibited the sale of the product
.

A believer will never be happy in their heart, with something doubtful.

Lending results in half the reward of giving in charity

What is for you will not pass you, and what passes you is not for you

It weakens your soul, and you realize; there are so many things that you could do better, when you know better

Imam Abu Hanifa rahimahullah would not even sit under the shade of the trees of a person he has given a loan to, because he feared this benefit could fall under riba

Allah wishes to remove any matter that may cause us to have dispute

The end does not justify the means…

Overview of the Course
The Real Deal
Sh. Tawfique Chowdhury

"And Allah has permitted trade, but forbidden riba" [AlBaqarah: 275]
One of the most difficult and confusing issues to Muslims now a days are the matters pertaining to the rulings of buying and selling. With trade and commerce having expanded with such rapid force, many are searching for what Islam has to say about it all. Of recent, a surge in global Islamic finance and the renewed interest in Shariah business law - requires us to understand the basic principles upon which Islam bases its ruling.
In this course, you will be introduced to:
The fiqh of Commerce in Shariah
Transactions and their classifications
Forbidden contracts and their understanding
The correct understanding and application of Riba
Understand heylah and how to detect it
Understand how the element of uncertainity may affect the validity of a transaction
Principles of halal investment
Manners of a Muslim businessman
Comparisons between Western commercial law and Shariah business law
Discussion of tens of the most popular modern business transactions - everything from credit cards, road side assistance, pyramind schemes, ebay, unlimited downloads, no deposit lay-bys, cash back policies, modern Islamic mortgages and investments in bonds, stocks and metals, laws on business and intellectual property, franchising..
Discussion of sample contracts from Islamic financial institutions
A preliminary study of how to Islamize large scale economic policies and ensure smooth transition to a riba free economy.

"I have never attended a more beneficial lecture. It just blew away my mind!" [Quote from a student]

These series of lectures are best sellers world wide. This particular course goes into much more detail than the lessons that may be available in the market under the title: "Halal and Haram of Business Transactions", so even if you have seen that DVD, you still need to attend this course to gain full and maximum benefit.

Every Muslim who wants to fear Allah and steer clear from falling into haram and riba.
Businessmen who want to learn about Islamic business policy and ettiquets.
Muslims who want to have a deep insight into understanding the goals and purposes of Shariah in business and trade.
Students of Law faculties trying to understand the basis of Islamic Commercial Law.
Finance professionals who would like more insight and clarification as to the Islamic logic behind many of its rulings.

What will you come out with at the end of the course?
A binder complete with notes on the details of the principles of Islamic commercial law.
Hundreds of examples on how the rules and regulations are applied practically.
Understand how the the Islamic commercial system is far superior and just than the current systems.
Practical understanding of the rulings of a large number of modern transactions.
Motivation to applying the rules towards deducing solutions to our current problems.Course materials

In a mood

I'm in a mood. So i thought i would write.
What shall i write. I can't write what i want, lest i be done for it by our Lord above. Speak good or remain quiet.
................................................

Still quiet as i have yet nothing good to say.......................

Erm i went to fourth gear on my driving lesson.
Thats not good, thats just mubah.

I can see why more women will end up in the Fire, i can see it clearly in myself.
Thats not good, thats just the truth.

Ok someone give me some tips on how to shake off a mood.
Someone give me something good to say.
.......................

Whos to blame. Maybe its just who you are and who you've always been. (im having a conversation in my head whilst the silence online, you're only seeing one voice of the conversation).

Apologies, as this is not what i wanted my comeback entry to the blogging world to be.

But like i said im in a mood.........and i should have just stayed silent.
