01. Why should I learn?
TheProphet Muhammad (PBUH) said “Seeking Knowledge is Fard (Obligatory) upon everyMuslim” [Ibn Majaah]
Thefirst pillar of Islam (even before Salaah / prayer) is reciting and having afirm faith in “There is no God worthy of worship except Allah, and….”. Now, ask yourselfthese questions
Q1:What are the attributes of God?
Q2:What are the various forms/types of “Worship”?Do Love & Trust have anything to do with Worship?
Q3:What are the differences between Shari’ah and Fiqh?
Q4:What is the reason for Mi’raj? Why was theProphet taken to Masjid al-Aqsa first, and not to heaven directly?
Q5:What are the differences between a Pillar ofprayer and an Obligation of prayer?

Forfurther clarifications, please email the KIU11. How many hours do I need tospend a week?
Itdepends on many factors, including:
- How knowledgeable you are in the topics/lessons covered in a course
- How proficient you want to be
- Your reading speed and other learning traits
- Hours also vary by semesters
Thiscourse isn’t like a typical correspondence education. These are serious things,and require some sacrifice (like cutting down entertainment hours). Once youfocus on studies, you will be amazed at the barakah Allaah gives in your time.
Forthe first semester, you may have to invest (I say invest because you will reapthe rewards for every minute spent) about 15 hours a week. It may seem impossible,but know that your brothers & sisters, with families, social obligations and a full time jobs, are already in Semesters 5, 4, 3 & 2. Allaah has blessed theirhours, and insha Allaah He will do the same in your hours.
Rememberthe great Imaams. Ibn Taymiyyah wrote a condensed book between Dhuhr and Asr,and some people are struggling to learn that book in one Semester.
