brother,

SubhanAllah brother, that's indeed very encouraging. May I ask how you manage to fit all that in your schedule? I mean with your profession, and family and other things? InshaAllah, I wish to learn so much about deen but I just don't know where to start and how. Half my day goes by studying my books for my exam, a few hours in the kitchen and the daily chores at home, and some time with my husband. The little time I get I try to read some online books etc.

Any advice and tips would be greatly appreciated, inshaAllah

P.S: Will look forward to your notes.

wa alaykum salaam sister

firstly, you need to get rid of any time wasting. analyse your week and think what do you do that is time wasting? TV? etc

secondly. noone became scholars by seeking in lectures after lectures and random talks and lessons. have a sturcture and plan to seeking knowledge. i recommend a book called ettiquettes of seeking knowledge by shaykh bakr abu zayd. learn how to seek knowledge first. plan a path. think what time you have and then make a pathway. e.g. if you have 1 hour a week for ilm, and you decide first you'd like to learn arabic and memorse the qur'an, so 30mins for each. then decide which surahs to memorise 9going backward through the qur'an is sensible from jz amma). for arabic, you can self teach the madinah books for example, or join a class and do your homework. basically, have a cirriculum and a plan for ilm. dont just turn up to random lectures. go to the ones you need to progress. so if qur'an is on the list, attend a qur'an class every week. if arabic is on the list, attend the arabic class. but make sure its in keeping with what your learning. not too advance, not to easy. the sciences are qur;an, arabic, tafseer, hadeeth, fiqh, usool al fiqh, usool al tafseer, science of hadeeth, seerah and histort, grammer and morphology etc, so tehre is a lot to learn so a path way plan is very important start. please do read the book, it helped me emmensely plus it tell yous the manners you shoudl have with your shaikh, ettotquetes to adorn yourself with etc.

perhaps you and your husband can study together as your form of spending time? read qur'an, attend circle etc togeter.

exam times are busier so maybe you will do more after exam times are finished. make sure to make some time for ilm, as much as you can, as we would want to live 100% of time for dunya and 0% for Allah, that would be like turning up to a bring a dish dinner party emtpy handed on the yawmil quiyama. inshAllah you want to have lots of fruits to bring to the yawmil quiyama, Allah has given us this dunya to enjoy our portion of, but we should portion some of our time for Allah too. ilm is one of the greatest forms of ibaadah
