Dar al-Mustafa Mawlid (Arabic & English) - Monday, March 31, 2008

Bismillah.
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.

The following are recordings from the huge Mawlid gathering held at Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, Yemen on Monday, March 31, 2008.

There are two files here (both of which start a little late but finish till the end):

Arabic audio of singing and speeches: This file is 2 hour and 17 minutes long. The singing is from the beginning of the file until minute marker 32:25, at which point the speeches start.
Live English simultaneous interpretation: This file is 1 hour long. Note: Please realize how difficult it is to do a simultaneous interpretation (and believe me, this faqir knows this first hand!) and that there may be a few omissions and or slight mistakes. It is always best to ask or double check if something was not clear (rather than assume or formulate a bad opinion).

The order of the noble and distinguished speakers:

Habib Ali Mashhour bin Hafiz (the Mufti of Tarim and older brother of Sayyidi al-Habib Umar bin Hafiz)
Habib Abdullah bin Shihab (the noble son of one of Habib Umar bin Hafiz's most respected teachers)
Habib Salim al-Shatiri
Habib Umar bin Hafiz (the Dean of Dar al-Mustafa for Islamic Studies)

UPDATE: There seems to be an issue with playback on the English stream for some users. Please make sure that you have the latest version of the QuickTime Player installed on your system. It can be downloaded for free here: www.QuickTime.com

8-Week Arabic Intensive with Zaytuna Institute in Berkeley, CA

Bismillah.
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh . . .

Zaytuna Institute is holding an 8-week Arabic Intensive this summer (June 23, 2008 to August 15, 2008), on site at the University of California, Berkeley. The dedicated website can be found here: http://www.arabicintensive.org/

Some basic information below (some of which was taken from IslamCrunch):

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

The Zaytuna Summer Arabic Intensive provides introductory- and intermediate-level students with a rigorous, complete-immersion language experience in an Arabic-only environment, integrating the acquisition of listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills at an accelerated pace. By the end of the program, which is based on a communicative approach to studying Arabic, introductory students who have successfully completed all requirements will be qualified to enroll in a second-year university Arabic course. Intermediate students who have completed all requirements will be qualified to take advanced-level courses.

The Zaytuna Summer Arabic Intensive is designed to meet the objectives of ten-unit summer intensives offered at various American universities. As one of the few academic-centered Arabic intensives offered by a Muslim seminary in North America, the program also offers students optional instruction in Qur’anic recitation (tajweed) and memorization (hifz). Additional features include convenient and secure housing within walking distance to classes and an exclusive guest lecture series by established scholars of Arabic and Islamic studies.

Basing their program on the “Complete Immersion Experience”, students will be living in the Westminster House in Berkeley, where they have the option of completely immersing themselves in a Arabic-only environment or a partial Arabic environment (Elementary Arabic level).

FACULTY:

The heart of the Zaytuna Summer Arabic Intensive program is our teachers. Our instructors hail from diverse geographic, cultural, and professional backgrounds, but all share a first-rate grounding in the Arabic language and a devotion to the traditional Islamic sciences. Zaytuna is pleased to introduce the following team of experienced full-time Arabic instructors and esteemed visiting scholars.

• Abdullah Ali
• Dawood Yasin
• Usama Canon
