Profile Summary
(most recent update on 21/3/13) As salamu alykum. I am a native speaker of Arabic and I fluent English. I have worked as a translator for many years. I have some experience in tutoring Arabic and Tajweed to English speakers. I took some training in teaching English as a second language. I have also read the teacher's guide book which was published by Arabic for all. I view materials that are related to teaching from time to time. I have been teaching Arabic since early 2011. Alhamdulillah I can deliver the subject to my potential audience. I am not running any Arabic classes publicly at the moment but I run Islamic knowledge classes on paltalk from time to time.
(WiZIQ has stopped the public classes feature and as a result my Arabic classes recordings have been removed. Qadaral-llaahu)
I also give private classes upon request.
I charge £8.00 per hour per person. Please check the currency exchange if your currency is different.
Group fees: £6.00 per hour per person, at least 2-3 attendees.
My biography: (Subject to updates)
I am originally a Somali brother, I descend from the tribe of Is-haaq then Habar She'law then Reer Dhaahir. I born and grew up in UAE. I finished my school there, and it was a blessing from Allah that I naturally acquired the Arabic language from my birth in UAE. I learned some English in UAE before I move to UK.
About who I take my knowledge from, as you know by now, I live away from the land of the scholars, and there are no scholars here in UK. So, people like me are forced to settle for other means of seeking knowledge. And that is using materials such as audios and books, as well as making the most of the duroos and dawrahs that are available online. I have signed up for the Al-Baidha institution, which is supervised by shaykh Abu 'Umar Usaamah bin 'Ataaya Al-'Utaibee who is in Madeenah. I have been attending his lesson online for over a year. Here are some subjects that were covered in his institution :
1-Three fundamental principles, did not attend from that start but concluded the explanation of shaykh ibnul-uthaimeen rahimahullah.
2-Manhajus-salalikeen, finished kitaabut-Tahaarah and kitaabus-Salaah.
3-200 questions in aqeedah by Al-Haafith Al-Hakami rahimahullah, I did not attend from the start.
4-Lessons in the Manhaj, from a book authored by shaykh Usaamah himself.

Also, I have attended online seminars delivered by salafi scholars online, whether on paltalk, beyluxe or live radio/stream.
Also, I have the explanation of about any essential book you could think of as well as the work of many scholars, either audio or hard copy or electronic copy Wal-hamdulil--llah
I am also in contact with some scholars via the phone and I refer vital matters or questions to them when possible walhamdulillah.
Now, I would like to make a clarification here, which I do not claim to be the student of anyone directly. This is because I do not fulfil the conditions of that. I have asked scholars if people like me are excused under the conditions I mentioned above to use tapes and books to seek knowledge, and the answer was yes and it is hoped that they can be called students of knowledge.
Lastly, if you find in my work anything that opposes the Qur'aan and the Sunnah at the understanding of the companions then you should correct me. And may Allah reward he who directs me to my faults.
We ask Allah to grant us the sincerity in our sayings and actions.
Walhamdulillahi Awwalan wa Aakhiran.
