Workbook used to follow along with the new class at al-Masjid al-Awwal (live in Pittsburgh or online from anywhere).
Classes are taught live from this workbook, broadcast worldwide. No registration is required. Simply get the workbook and follow along from wherever you are. Also, the recorded lessons are available on al-Masjid al-Awwal's Spreaker Channel. This workbook contains all 131 narrations of Kitaab al-Jaami' from Buloogh al-Maraam, along with an English translation of each one. It has been designed to provide structured guidance for note-taking. With each hadeeth, as a routine, we learn about the Companion(s) who narrated it and the imam(s) who collected it. Important points, based primarily on the explanation of Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan, follow in numbered lists, with adequate space for notes. It is hoped that students who may normally struggle with note-taking may learn how to identify the most important points of a class and improve this essential skill. In this study of 131 hadeeth narrations, we will learn and/or be reminded about –in shaa' Allah- the importance of refining one's character, some good manners to work on, some bad manners to avoid, and some important personal supplications to be used throughout our day and night.
This workbook is not for individual self-study, rather it is the workbook used to follow along with the new class at al-Masjid al-Awwal (live in Pittsburgh or online from anywhere), beginning in the first week of 1440, in shaa' Allah. Classes are taught live from this workbook, broadcast worldwide. No registration is required. Simply get the workbook and follow along from wherever you are.

In Section One, we study 16 narrations about essential everyday manners in basic interactions. Then, 14 narrations zoom in on some of the most important manners connected to kindness and keeping ties in Section Two. In Section Three, 11 narrations inspire us to be more pious, more focused on the Hereafter, and less materialistic, in shaa' Allah. Section Four includes 40 narrations warning us from various manifestations of bad character, while Section Five includes 19 more narrations about more ways to apply good character. Finally, in the last section, we study 31 narrations about remembrance and supplication. While memorizing all of these narrations is indeed quite helpful, the last section, most specifically, should be given special attention.
