The importance of knowledge is the key to improving our practice of Islam in our
daily lives. Delivering this knowledge and receiving it are coupled with responsibility.
The manners of teaching and receiving knowledge rest upon certain etiquettes. Our
respected teachers and scholars have a responsibility and onus to deliver the sacred
message of Islam. Their style of teaching should be representative of the manners
in which the Prophet (Peace be upon him) taught in order for that knowledge to be
implanted deep into the hearts of the students. The student must view his teacher
with respect and reverence as the scholars have a special status in this world and
have been described as ‘the inheritors of the Prophet’s. (Sunan Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi)
The student of knowledge also is bestowed with Mercy as the Angels lower there wings
for those who endeavor to seek knowledge. However, this knowledge can not be passed
or received without certain etiquettes being observed. This will ensure that knowledge
can be received in its totality and benefited from which will consequently lead to
practical application and good character.

---- Wassalaam 'alaikum wa rahmatullaah.

The blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned
that 'The believer who recites the Qur'an and applies
it is like the utrujja (fruit), whose smell is fragrant
and taste is sweet .' (Bukhari)

Utrujj is based upon the teachings of the above Hadith in
seeking to equip you with the sacred knowledge of Islam,
while simultaneously training you in it's implementation in
your daily lives. As a result of this dynamic approach your
personality should insh'Allah come to personify this
sacred knowledge.

The change this creates will be witnessed by those around you
as they smell the sweet fragrance of your good speech and taste
the sweetness of your exemplary actions. Such a change within
individuals is critical in realising our covenant with Allah and for the
spreading of Islam, especially here in the West.
