In an age of digital font, internet, voice recognition software the daarul uluums not yet brought the key texts of the dars nizaami and their many invaluable commentaries into the gutenburg age. They are still printing the UNergonomic - in this day and age! - hand written copies.
Look at the copy of Jalalayn, Ml. I’zaaz Ali’s commentary on Mutanabbiyy; Shafii’s vocab gloss on Naf’hah, the list is endless….
muslims please

Muslims, muslimahs, mumins, muminahs…
Please
Stop killing each other, stop bombing each others masjids…
Sunnis and Shias hurl curses and swear at each other in London, the British police keep them apart from each other. Had it not been for these police officers there would be a sunni-shia bloodbath in London.
***
Daarul uluums stop teaching hate…
Look at other seats of learning, they are teaching space law, their students are drafting charters, protocols… on climate justice.
***
You, the Daarul Uluums, have reduced Islam, Quran, Nabi, Nubuwwat to irrelevance. the greatest harm to the Ummah comes from the Daarul Uluums.
***
You , the Daarul Uluums, brutalize the Quran, you commit unforgivable abuse to the minds of thousands upon thousands upon thousands… of young aspirant sincere Allah-loving, Ummah-loving souls.
You, the Daarul Uluums, strut about totally unaccountable.
***
O muslims reclaim the mind, spirit, heart and soul of
Islam from this cholera - contaminated river.
O muslims evacuate the Ummah from the path of this Tsunami Daarul – Uluum .
Please

tafsir and balagha
?? Is tafsir an independent discipline or an area where ulama apply various disciplines, analytical techniques to the quran? this then prompts the question - a key discipline used in tafsir is balagha, is balagha framed by kalaam? Then a sunni exegete’s balagha will argue through and for sunni kalam? does this mean that a new balagha is possible fazlurrahman malik’s ”islam and modernity” - passim - is an effort in this regard,

Lady Kariimah, the great scholar of Hadiith
Kariimah (b. 363, d. 463) - daughter Ahmad son of Muhammad son of Haatim – was lady scholar, learned woman, and narrator-teacher of Hadiith. She was known by the sobriquet Ummul Kiraam (mother of ).
She lived in the holy precincts of Allah’s holy city, the most noble (mu’kar’ra’mah) Makkah.
She studied the Sa’hiih of Bu’khaa’riyy under (sa’mi’at min) Abul Hay’thum al’Kush’mii’ha’niyy. She also studied under Zaa’hir ibnu Ahmad as’Sa’rakh’siy and Abdullah ibnu Yuusuf ibnu Baa’mu’waeh al’Isba’haa’niy.
When narrating-teaching Hadiith she would refer to her copy of Hadiiths. She was a scholar of great understanding and knowledge which she combined with philanthropy (khair) and devotion (worship). She taught (rawat: or narrated) the Sahiih of Bu’khaa’riyy many times. On one occasion her reader and teaching assistant (bi’ qi’raa’a'ti) was Abu Bakr al’Khatiib, al’Bagh’daa’diy during gjkjghjk. She was a celibate who never married at all.
The following studied (had’da’tha an’haa) Hadiith under her:
t Abu Bakr al’Khatiib, al’Bagh’daa’diy
t Abu Taalib al’Husayn ibnu Muhammad az’Zaynabiy
t Muhammad ibnu Barakaat as’Sa’iidiy
t Ali ibnul Husayn al’Farraa’
t Abdullah ibnu Muhammad ibnu Sadaqah ibnul Ghazaal
t Abul Qaasim ibnu Ib’raa’hiim an’Nasiib
t Abul Mudhaffar Mansuur ibnus Sam’aaniy and others.
Lady Kariimah’s meticulousness in the transmission of Hadiith
Abul Gha’naa’im an’Narsiy said: “Kariimah placed before me a copy of the Sahiih [of Bu'khaa'riyy], i sat opposite her / face to face with her and copied seven pages, i then read the pages, i then wanted to check my copy against Kariimah’s text by myself. Kariimah said, “No, check your copy with my text [that is: confirm the accuracy of your copy] with me.” i then did so. We jointly checked the conformity of my copy with Kariimah’s text. i also read to her some hadiiths from Zaa’hir.”
Abu Bakr as’Sam’aa’niy said, “i heard my father talking about Kariimah and he said, “Has anybody seen someone like Kariimah!” “
Abu Bak said, “i heard my brother’s daughter, Kariimah, saying, “Kariimah never married. Her father was from Kush’mii’han, he took (kharaja bi’haa) her to Baytul Maqdis (Jerusalem) and brought her back to Makkah.” “
Kariimah was a centenarian.
She lived a long life full of knowledge and goodness..
O Allah shower your mercies upon her.
