Testimonials & feedback by previousTestimonials & feedback by previous

Ustaz, you are being modest to name
your course simply as “Fardhu ‘ain For
Beginners”.
“After attending this module, I would
vouch that this course is indeed
profound and inspirational, even for
me who is a born-Muslim and a
parent. My boys who attended the
course with me have been positively
transformed. Thank you Ustaz”

• “I must admit that the course being
called Fardhu ‘ain did not attract me
at first. In fact it even misled me to
think that this is somewhat like any
usual religious classes . Alhamdulillah,
after attending this, I must admit it
was most enlightening and something
I really needed. Never knew that I do
not really know much about my
religion as an adult before this.”

BB.

 “While the ‘arkaanul Iman & Islam’
have been taught and drilled into us
as students in our youth, your class
breathed into them deeper meaning.
Going beyond the rituals and practical
aspects, your class provoked us
students into thinking critically the
reasons behind the acts that we
undertake daily in the name of Allah.”

CC.

"Fardhu ‘ain for beginners is unlike
any of the other Fardhu ‘ain courses
that you'll see elsewhere or that you
might have attended in your younger
days in the Madrasahs.”
I highly recommend this course.
5
DD.

“What is most significant of this
course [which puts it in a class of its
own from other Islamic Fardhu ‘ain
course] is that it is “in English” and
meant for “Adults” and converts or
even non-Muslims – which requires
high linguistic proficiency and very
convincing presentation – as it
addresses mature, English-educated,
thinking and even sceptical adults.”
6
EE.

• “This approach to Fardhu ‘ain is very
new and refreshing especially for a
young adult like me, who looks for
reason and logic behind faith.”
• “I would like to attend again this
module and I recommend this to
other parents and teachers. I am sure
they can learn and benefit from this
to effectively convey Islam to the
Muslim youth of today.”

FF.

“ ...after attending your class,
especially fardhu ain, I became even
more aware that my basics were too
bare..... My thought process that
points towards the existence of God
was incoherent. This showed that I
understood little about Islam. I was
not reflecting deep enough ...”
8
GG.

“The format of this class which
follows the Hadith where Jibrail a.s.
asked the Prophet s.a.w. ‘what
is Islam’ is also well-structured and
coherent. It is also easy to follow.”
“... Simple language, beautiful
explanation and satisfactory response
to the many questions from
participants.... Ustaz, your patience,
calm disposition and sincerity is
indeed exemplary.”
9
GG.

• “This class will add to the student's
Iman and allow him to reflect behind
all the practices and actions in his
life.”
• “Your presentation of topic on Islam
is indeed very different from other
Ustaz’s that I know… and no wonder
converts who attended this session
and your other classes exude such
conviction and clarity when they are
speaking about Islam.”
10
HH.

• “It will also inspire the student to
make Islam the primary motivation
for his actions in life and be a better
servant to Allah, instead of Islam
being just a troublesome ‘peripheral
obligation’ that many of our current
youth take it to be."
11
HH.

12
"As mentioned by Ustaz, our level of fardu
‘ain should be the level of adult, while the
level of fardu ‘ain for a child is that of a
kindergarten. Indeed, Fardu ‘Ain class will
bring one to a higher intellect level…..
Given his vast experiences of engagement
with non-muslims and muslims alike, you can
find practical insights from him to respond
the most mind blogging and tackiest
questions about Islam to others and to
yourself, insyaAllah.

13
There are always pearls of wisdoms in his
lessons. One should not discount the fact the
humour that Ustaz brings in the lessons,
which play a big role to the enjoyment of
receiving knowledge.
Ever since I attended the class, I've grown in
my love for dua’s. Ustaz will teach dua’s that
are meaningful, close to your heart and
heighten the awareness of your neediness in
Allah. I've kept a list of daily dua’s he put up
in every lesson to read daily and remind my
relationship towards Allah."

The lessons may be over but the
knowledge given InsyaAllah
has made my perception towards
understanding the meaning of Islam
in a whole new level.
I am beginning to understand that "A
way of Life" is not just a mere
declaration. It is actually "life as we
live it and life as it should be lived".
JJ.

15
To understand the term “AD-DEEN”
and it is incorrect to regard Islamic
religious knowledge as "ukhrawi"
while other knowledge as "dunyawi",
as though the religion of Islam has no
relevance to this worldly life.
The systematic approach by Ustaz
Zhulkeflee has made things more
meaningful in understanding how the
“Arkan Al IIman” and “Arkan Al
Islam” is co related.
JJ.

16
The class module bears a title too
humble, "Beginners Course to Islam"-
Fardhu Ain in English. My perception
earlier was that this is just a revision of
what I have known.
Well I was wrong! This is so much more!
I thought i knew, and as the weeks
follows,
The understanding of the Arkan Al-
Islam is not just doctrines which we
should adhere, but a training program
(to assist us) in our life-journey
JJ.

17
First and foremost I would like to thank
Ustaz for compiling such a systematic
and coherent course for me and
everyone else out there and I was
really impressed by the language and
content used in the class. It almost
seemed like an elementary level
module at an undergraduate course.
Jazakumullahu khayran ya Ustaz!

I started the class with the desire to
learn more about Islam and this
course has left me hungry to learn
more.
As a science student during my
tertiary education, I had a lot of faith in
empirical calculations and studies,
and somehow convinced myself that
Islamic scholars may have
misunderstood certain things. How
foolish and ignorant I had been, and I
am grateful to Allah I was given the
opportunity to correct this mind-set.
KK

19
Through this class I realized Islamic
scholars have had been as
meticulous (if not more) as the
scientists of the world and like what
Ustaz had once mentioned in class
"Science is merely an observation of
things that occur in this world“. But the
(meanings or Reality to these) Signs of
Allah are never wrong, and they are
clear for all to see (and verify).
Alhamdulillaahi rabbil 'alamin.
KK

The class was awesome! I was not a
strong believer initially because of the
lack of knowledge. But after attending
my first class, it brought an impact to
my life. It made me realize how
beautiful Islam is and I am glad I was
born into the religion.
My prayers now become more
meaningful. I hope to bring my
understanding of Islam to another
level and to appreciate Islam even
more.
L.L.

21
Just some take-aways from Ustaz's
lessons:
1)It never occurred to me how we can
make our solat more meaningful &
relevant to my life. Learning different
surahs & integrating it into our solah and
understanding what we are actually
reciting can make that much of a
difference.
M.M.

22
2) Fardhu ‘Ain is a lifelong lesson
whereby we have to upgrade our
knowledge as we pass through the
different stages in life. What I learnt
10 years ago might not be as
relevant to a 21year old me now.
Jazzakalahu khair Ustaz Zhulkeflee
for making me reflect, unlearn &
learn the basic pillars of Islam from
different (and interesting)
perspectives & for igniting the fire to
know more about my own religion.
M.M.

23
The 19 weeks of Fardu’Ain 2012 course
we embarked on has brought a better
insight to my understanding of the
Deen. Alhamdulilah.
I learnt that Fardu Ain is a not “Once a
Lifetime” course. It needs to be revisit,
refresh and strengthen often, to
understand new meaning as we
journey our life as Muslim.
The course has brought about a new
opening for me, as compare to 13yrs
ago when I started learning Islam.
N.N.

24
Without pride and arrogance, today I
felt more encourage and confident
after the course, be it seeking
knowledge, understanding of the
deen , also less confuse, and how we
should be serious to verify a “claim or
statement in Islam” instead of blind
following as perception made by
people. Lastly, I learnt to remind
myself do not act smart when it comes
to the religion. Do what is obligatory
upon myself and seek help from
Allah(swt) in all affairs.
N.N.

O our Lord! Make us to benefit from what
