I graduated from the Istam Medina in the College of Theology.

My master is a Hamdala published you can see it 800 pages in Arabic

850 pages I went on to the PhD

again in Islamic theology and intellectual history I have published papers I have a

book coming out in the academic world again about all of these topics and so this is an area I have studied internally and also being a very active dari I have to make decisions externally as well right so this is an area very near and dear to me and if you're not aware, then I

myself have undergone a number of changes. If you are aware, then you know if you're not then

the Yasakaldi of today is not the Yasakadi of 15, 20, 30 years ago.

And there are reasons for this.

It's not because the Sakfir-Ala I'm trying to please or placate. It's not because there's an element of

watering down. No, it is because experience teaches you what books will not teach you.

Experience teaches you what books will not teach you. Experience teaches you what books will not teach you.

Theory is one thing and practices another.

And you know the irony we all know this in every single field,

we know it in medicine, we know it in engineering, we know it. None of you when you

graduate from your bachelor's degree takes your bachelor's degree knowledge and then applies it directly in the work. There's always a training and you realize much of my training is absolutely new

I needed the bachelors to walk in but once I'm here the stuff I'm learning is totally

disconnected a different.

The same thing applies to Islamic methodology.
