Timbuktu Seminary: Each One, Teach One

AlHamdu Lillaah.

We lack the finances to provide for Timbuktu Seminary to continue.

And this is one of our major challenges.

Most people do not regularly donate to the promotion of islaamic knowledge.

While at the same time, most people recognize that we need an islaamic university on the sunnah, focusing on our issues.

Let us first understand the FiQh of donating.

You are NOT donating to have access to a Shaykh.

It is your right to have access to a Shaykh.

You should donate to facilitate that function in your society.

It is FarDul Kifaayah to establish Islaamic Education- Institutions.

Meaning, it is an obligation on all of us to make sure there are enough Shuyookh available to study the deen in order to answer our questions and provide us with solutions.

These Shuyookh MUST be from the society that they are educating and advising.

Why?

Because the first condition for answering a question is being able to fully picture what the person is asking about. Being able to understand the context of the issue(s).

This can only be done by people who are fully grounded in the culture, history and political direction of that Nation.

This is also called Jurisdiction.

Timbuktu is an Islaamic Education Foundation established by Western Muslims in order to solve Western issues.

“The QaaDi Apprentice”

This is a course in which we train/educate islaamic Judges.

We also counsel, advise and train women in a weekly women only class.

Those women who want more are added to our Women’s Scholars group which is a:

Support Group for women only

A financial Group for women only

Special Projects for women only

And preparation for marriage group for women only.

This is what you would be donating to establish.

Your donations would buy food for our staff and their families.

Some of the Timbuktu Staff do not have enough money to buy staple food for more than a week at a time.

Help pay their rent.

In this regard many of our staff literally live month to month.

And pay for the online services needed to better serve our community.

At present all these services come out of our pockets.

We are shy to keep asking you all to donate, donate, donate.

You all should also realize that you have to help establish this institution that gives.

Donate and we will be able to do more. Sacrifice with us.

If we can pay for a Shaykh’s rent, or his monthly food bill, he will be able to explain things that will improve our quality of life.

If we can pay for some of the services that our administration needs they will be able to make our online experience flow.

Donate.
