The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophet ﷺ (Abu Dawood 3641), and we have been commanded to go back to them for knowledge (An-Nahl 16:43). Therefore, it is incumbent for a student of knowledge to have a connection with them by at least taking knowledge directly from there. This is where InkpotCollege facilitates that objective by translating lectures for scholars and allowing them to directly answer questions from students. This programme was developed in the rife of lockdown when many lessons had moved to online, making it easier for those in the West to study directly from the scholars. So far, through this programme, we have been able to study upto 8 texts, in the span of one year, the lectures are delivered in Arabic by Shaykh Dr Abdul Hamid Al Husari and translated by Ustadh Muhammad Huzaifah. The Shaykh shares a lot of academic research in his lessons, benefitting the students with his knowledge and expertise, with the live translation, those who do not have access to the Arabic language, they are able to also benefit from this extensive research and knowledge. There are exams accompanied with the completion of texts, as well as ijazaat given to those who attend the lessons completely.
