Books, Google, Wiki, Papers, they are all nice and full of "characters", but in the end, for me, what matters and what impacts the soul better is through the lively character of a human being. I think nowadays society appreciate and honour "character" of books or any written document. We can have lots of information through memorizing these "characters", but true knowledge should be attained through beautiful character of a scholar. Allah and His Rasool knows best. Rio Al-salaamu’alaykum,

I think something like this should be put up more frequently. I love Shaykh Ramzy's approach. He makes it so clear and everything he says just makes sense! The reason we can relate to the Shuyukh at Qurba so well is because they bring traditional knowledge from the hubs of Islamic learning and then cater it to the needs of the Muslims living in the West. Its all about making it relevant. Personally, I think that's why I'm able to understand what they're saying :) As’salaamu alaykum,

I don't just mean that they need to know English (or your native tongue), but that they need to <i>understand</i> you and be able to connect. The reason for so much of the disconnect between our Imams and the youth is 1) a lot of the Imams grew up overseas... not only is there a language barrier but they also haven't experienced the same unique challenges we have growing up here. 2) even if they can speak the language, their words don't resonate with the youth because it doesn't reach out to them at their level. Secondly, (and this goes in hand with the first point) they need to be approachable. A lot of times, we're intimidated or reluctant to ask our questions because the scholars seem out of reach. Lastly, and most importantly, they need to embody the teachings of Islam. Not just within the four walls of the Mosque, but in every aspect of their conduct. I'm sure at some point in our lives we've all met someone who, just by being in their company, we've felt blessed. If the teacher doesn't practice what they preach, it won't transfer to the student.

Thanks for participating. It seems like everyone is saying that the teacher is crucial to instilling confidence, purpose, and clarity in the student. So what is it about the teacher then? What are the key qualities that a teacher needs to have this kind of impact on students? Great comments everyone. Thanks for participating.
