Shaykha Iman Badawi visits an all-women’s shari’ah college in Istanbul, Turkey, offering timely advice for all students of sacred knowledge. (Arabic)

﷽   The “Tree of Taqwā” was birthed from the pollen of a beautiful flower, taken from another lofty tree. The Tree of Tawhīd.  أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ Do you not see how God sets forth parables? A good word is like a good tree whose root is firm and whose branches tower high in the sky. (Ibrahīm 14:24) Listen in to Shaykha Iman Badawi's personal 'Eid message.

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate  The Gift of Wings 27 Ramadan 1444 Our good deeds ascend to God like a bird.

Elevation in scholarly level is in —not just knowing – but having the ability to employ the usuli methodology of classical scholarship. Knowledge is not a textbook, it’s a skill.   We often speak of the critical importance of utilizing knowledge for devotional practice. This is only the first cycle, though. Scholars have completed this round and been raised to the next, which is scholarly practice that leads to new knowledge.

When colonial powers entered Muslim lands, pedagogy was harnessed as a weapon. In erasure of the intellectual pillars of Islamic civilization, the laymen’s assuming of scholarly authority and the scholar’s assuming of the laymen’s taqlid are no worse than each other. In the dizziness of reversed realities, only full-faceted Tradition can set the Umma back on track. Where is our independent, Islamic academia?

‎﷽ Illumined by the prophetic soul and nurtured by prophetic knowledge, our Lady Nafisa is a culmination of the excellence of prophetic inheritance, in lineage and scholarship. Until today, the minaret of her magnificence calls to us, her legacy leads us, and her spirit solaces us. If her virtues were to be distributed upon the women of the world, they would render them all saints.  May Allah's pleasure and peace be upon her.     

Allah, Most High, says in surat al-A’rāf, verse 55 ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ Call upon your Lord humbly and in secretly - He does not like those who transgress His bounds

”The fitra is the human soil. Tradition is its flower. Scholarship is its fruit. Sacred knowledge is the nourishment of the mind, heart, and soul. If we are all, undeniably, a product of our times, we ought to be quite concerned about the upcoming harvest.”
