Below Is The The Transcript of What Was Presented To The Shaykh From  The Salafī Sisters Book Club of Trinidad Followed by Their Questions:

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barākatuh Shaykhanā, wa BārakAllāhu fīkum.

Alḥamdulillāh, we’ve had our Sisters’ Qur’ān Support Group and Book Club for about one and a half months now.

We meet at the masjid for Qur’ān every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and on Saturdays we have our Book Club.

For Qur’ān, we have developed a weekly memorisation schedule for each member based on what is easy for them.

The lessons comprise of:

1. Revision of what has previously been memorised from the Qur’ān
2. Newly memorised portion of the Qur’ān
3. Preparation of next lesson

We have with us Salafī sisters of varying ages, from 8 years old to 70 years old and we are seeing progress Alḥamdulillāh.

Question 1: What further advice can you give us with respect to our program?

Question 2: Some of us sisters have difficulty in finding time and being consistent upon memorising and revising the Qur’ān lessons due to academic studies, children and other responsibilities. Can you give us some words of encouragement?

As it relates to our Book Club, we have started with the explanation of Uṣūl ath-Thalāthah of Imām Muḥammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb by Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣālīḥ al-‘Uthaymīn. Sisters utilise the translated book as well as audio lessons by our brother Mūsā Richardson from America who we contacted via Muwahhideen Publications to clarify any questions for us regarding his lessons. Alḥamdulillāh, the lessons are well organised.

Book Club sessions occur once a week. One lesson is done weekly from the 46 lessons of Brother Mūsā Richardson. Each week, Study Questions for the upcoming audio lesson are prepared and given to the sisters as a guideline for notetaking when listening to the new lesson. The relevant Arabic Matn for the

week’s lesson is also memorised by sisters who are able. We utilise the week to read from the explanation as well as listen to the audio lessons. When we meet, we begin by testing each other on our memorization of the matn then we all repeat the new lines a number of times to make sure everyone reading/memorising is able to verbalise it properly. We then summarise the lesson and use our Study Questions to test each other. Each week a new lesson is learnt and previous lessons revised in the form of a group quiz.

Question 3: O Shaykh, what further advice can you give us with respect to this?

Since starting the group we have some new Muslims who have joined us so we have included sessions for them to learn their prayer.

Question 4: For these sisters who are now learning how to pray and finding it difficult to pronounce and memorise Arabic, what is the best way to teach them and what advice do you have for them?
