lease, read 👉 ruling on education and residence in Kafir states
Starting with countless praises to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. At the same time I wish numerous prayers and salutations upon Ashraful Ambiya, Sayyidul Mursalin, Khatamun Nabiyyin, Abul Qasim Muhammad bin 'Abdillah bin 'Abdil Muttalib al-Hashimi al-Quraishi; Allahumma Salli Alaihi, Allahumma Barik Alaihi. Recently I have noticed a tendency among many of my acquaintances to travel to non-Muslim countries for higher education. And after talking with them, I realized that many of them are not aware of its Shari'i rules. So I tried to compile this article. Full Tawfeek of Allah is desired.
The text of the text mentions the fatwas of the three legendary scholars of the age regarding the injunction to travel to non-Muslim countries. Hopefully the reader will be satisfied after reading the article and the doubts will be cleared in this regard, In Sha Allah.
1. The former Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Samahatush Shaikh, al-'Allamah, Imam Abdul 'Aziz bin 'Abdillah bin Baz (رحمه الله) was asked about this and said,
❝ Traveling to non-Muslim countries is a risk that Muslims should avoid unless absolutely necessary. Rasulullah ﷺ said:
"I will not bear the responsibility of those Muslims who live among the polytheists." [Abu Dawud: 2645, Tirmidhi: 1604; Authenticity: Sahih (Tahqiq: Albany)]
Muslim authorities (waffaqabahumullah) should not send people to non-Muslim countries except in urgent need. However, representatives of non-Muslim countries must be abstinent, knowledgeable about religion, and free from the negative effects of traveling to those countries. Caregivers should also support them and monitor their condition at all times. It is permissible, even better, to send representatives to non-Muslim countries for the purpose of dawa', so that Islam can be propagated there.
Sending youths to non-Muslim countries in any other situation except the above two situations is considered an evil act (munkar), which carries extreme risks. The same rule applies to trade in non-Muslim countries. This is because of the prevalence of fitnah and wickedness, where one should always be on guard against Satan, his vices and dishonest companions. ❞[1]
2. When the greatest Muhaddith of the age, Al-'Allamah, Imamus Salafiyyah, Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani (رحمه الله) was asked about it, he replied,
❝ We have no doubt that it is not permissible for Muslims to live in any Kafir country today. If someone is expelled from a Muslim country, he will move to another Muslim country. ❞ [2]
3. In Samahat al-Faqeeh, al-‘Allamah, ash-Shaikhul Imam Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (رحمه الله) says about this:
❝ It is permissible to stay there for personal and special legitimate needs, such as business or medical treatment. But it should be as per requirement, no more than necessary can be stationed there. The Ulama have permitted the entry into the Kafir's state for business, and they have cited a number of Sahabahs as evidence for this.
And staying in a Kafir state for study; Although such a position is included in the aforesaid necessity of staying in the state of a Kafir, yet staying there for study is more harmful and dangerous to his religion and character than staying there for other reasons. Because any student thinks himself small in terms of status and thinks his teacher is big. In this case, he will show respect to them, accept their thoughts, ideologies and behavior with complacency and thus at some point he will start following them blindly. But very few students who are protected by Allah, only they can survive such situation.
Moreover, a student is dependent on his teacher for various needs. By this the student begins to love his teacher and flatters the teacher's misguidance and misguidance. Moreover, in those educational institutions a student has many Kafir classmates and chooses many of them as friends. He loves them, befriends them and is influenced by them. Due to this type of danger, you need to be more careful than the aforementioned types. And so in addition to the basic 2 conditions some more conditions have been imposed. They are:
i. The student must be intellectually mature enough to distinguish between good and bad things and see what may happen in the distant future. And sending young and immature Buddha-knowledge students to infidel countries for study would be very dangerous for their religion, character and behavior. Moreover, it is extremely dangerous for their caste and community.
His poison will spread among the people he returns to. Reality and observation also bear witness to this. Because many students sent for studies have returned with something else instead of the desired subject. They have gone astray in religion, character and conduct. And the amount of damage they have caused to their own society in these matters is known and the evidence also says so. Therefore, sending these young students with immature knowledge to study in the infidel state is like giving a wolf to the mouth of a ferocious dog.
ii. The student should have such knowledge of Islamic Shari'ah that he can clearly differentiate between right and wrong and counter the false with truth.
So that he may not be deceived by the abrogations of the disbelievers and may not consider the abomination to be the truth or fall into confusion or become misguided or follow the abomination by being unable to resist the abomination. There is a dua mentioned in the hadith
O Allah, show me the truth, and guide me to follow it, and show me falsehood, and guide me to avoid it, and do not make me doubt it.
"O Allah! Show me the truth as truth and grant me tawfiq to follow it. And show me nullity as nullity and grant me tawfiq to live from it and do not leave the matter of truth and falsehood unclear to me, then I shall go astray.”
iii. The student should have that amount of piety which will protect him from kufr and wickedness. No person who is weak in piety can live safely in the state of infidels. But yes, if Allah keeps someone safe by His grace, then it is a different matter. Because the things that attack him there are very strong and his resistance is very weak. There are numerous powerful instruments of disbelief and iniquity of various kinds. If they occur in a place where the immune system is quite weak, then anything will happen.
iv. There is no institution in his own country to achieve the educational requirements that are beneficial for the Muslim nation. But if there is no benefit for the Muslim nation in that regard, or if the system of learning about it is in the educational institutions of an Islamic country, then it is not permissible to stay in a non-Muslim country for that knowledge. Because staying in a non-Muslim country is on the one hand dangerous for religion and morals, on the other hand it is also a reason to waste a lot of money. ❞ [3]

could you do a video on how to make a good LinkedIn profile
Absolutely not
Yes please. That would be very helpful
Yessss

Pls
For any prospective freshmen I will tell you as a ChemE that any engineering degree is a good investment for several reasons.
1. You can switch into other careers really easily compared to most other majors.
2. You will probably have an easier time getting accepted into law or med, MBA, school if that is a plan for yourself.
3. Worst case scenario you can just work as an engineer making really good money.
4. It is easier to get into the business side of operations as generally companies see it easier to train an engineer about business rather than a business major about engineering.
5. Engineering gives you a lot of practical skills on how to be sceptical, ask questions, accept failure, and being handy. You won’t be a know it all but rather a person who is very curious and willing to get to the bottom of thing as well as having practical skills on how to fix your home or your PC or what have you. It’s all about the mindset that is the most important.
Anyways I recommend this career to anyone, sometimes the job market may be not the best and you may not immediately work a great job but you will have a job and a bright future which is honestly a lot more than what others can say for themselves.
Engineering is a hard major that requires a lot of discipline, hard work, and good time management. You will learn a lot about yourself in those 4-6 years to get that major. It is possible to still have fun and meet people of the opposite gender, it is important to balance that time. Some majors just live it up and that’s alright for them; engineering is not like this (or else your grades will suffer). It has a high drop out rate because of this. Take only the classes necessary and don’t be afraid of having to repeat them or take summer classes.
Best swindle for your GPA is take some of the general classes at a community college during the summer (or even concurrently if possible) and then transfer those classes to your uni. Therefore if your grades are low passing it doesn’t matter because transfer grades don’t affect your uni’s GPA.
Anyways, if you’re here and on the fence I say pick a major that works well with you that has a community that you find supportive and really think about the ROI on this degree. It is a massive investment and engineering is probably the best as you can make as much as some doctors and attorneys with just a BS (and years of experience) which is honestly kinda crazy. There’s more open doors with this major and you can absolutely have a fun college experience with this major; it requires being real with yourself and disciplined.
Best of luck!
You were a big part of my decision to go study mechanical engineering. I managed to get into my college without having to pay a tuition. Just a big thank you man🙌🏼
Congratulations
@@matthewhernandez2123 Im not studying in the US
In my opinion of course, the hardest engineering degree is either Chemical Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
Most likely Electrical Engineering because the concepts are very abstract and require a lot of imagination.
I really appreciate your videos of spreading knowledge to people about engineering and it's something I aspire to do myself one day when I have more to reflect on. BME is definitely the jack of all trades master of none major. I naively went into it and completed the most unfulfilling degree I think I could have chosen. Turns out all the cool stuff of biomedical that I liked such as robotics, design of neural implants, etc. was focused in hardware + manufacturing, which fits a mech e criteria more. All the BMEs at my internships were paper pushers, while I would go towards the mechanical focused roles and work on really awesome projects. However, I knew of some of my peer BMEs who really enjoyed their roles, but were focused more in pharma/biotech areas where they were able to shine in terms of skills. I'm now heading to UT Austin to study Mech E for graduate school with a focus in Additive Technologies for aerospace.
I think anyone going into engineering should watch your videos and really pay attention to what their coursework is like, what their peers are like in their FIRST semester, and start scouting for prospective jobs and internships EARLY and understand what your roles look like at both big and small companies, what experience you need to get there, etc. Try and visualize if you see yourself accomplishing those goals while being interested in them, and if the current academic path you're taking is conducive to that. I know it's really hard to do especially as a lot of people don't know what they even like or want to do until their junior or even senior year, but better to get those thoughts rolling early before you realize halfway through your degree that it's not what you want, too late to switch, and you feel stuck in a corner. Career transition like you said down the line is always a possibility but why not find that passion and desire to learn early while you're still young in school, can afford mistakes here and there, can experiment, have access to student resources, etc. Just my opinion and would be interested to hear if people agree / disagree
Congrats on getting a new job, Tamer!
When the video on that one is coming?
Hey Tamer, awesome video! I was wondering, would it be possible for you to share some of your Cheatsheets? I know it might sound like a silly request, but I find your content super helpful, and I'd love to learn more from you! Keep up the great work!
Ya for sure! I actually already shared it in the past in a video titled “the #1 skill that changed my life as an engineering student”
Not a chem (am mat sci/eng, rip the rep lol), but from what I have heard I would likely put chem up there with electrical in terms of difficulty
Could you make a video about the pros and cons of working for small startups versus larger companies versus government agencies vs government contractors
Hello Tamer, i was wondering about what your experience was like in school, along with tips and snags you hit along the way. I'm hoping to start mechanical engineering schooling next fall if all goes well, all while working a full time job.
Me watching this as an aspiring aerospace engineer: 👁️ 👄 👁️
(But seriously your channel is a blessing thank you for making such informative videos)
same here 😂
I am an EE recent graduate myself.
I think Electrical Engineering has one of the least female to male ratios with females comprising anywhere between 20-21 % compared to 79-80 % of males.
The only bloody thing in engineering is Calculus doesn't matter what branch u choose u have to take Calculus subject and it's a bloodbath 😁
I additionally wanted to ask you should I pursue a particular Engineering major because of the salary or should I pursue one that I am really interested in even if it doesn't pay a lot.
can u make a video about all the specialties in engineering and what they are about
Wow man you are number 1!
In my university Mechanical engineering is called The Men Major because few or no females study it. Also as a chemical engineer male student, there were a lot of females in my class, it was stressful having a lot of girls in my class but its what its 😅
As salamu 3aleykum Tamer. Given that you have good experience with CAD which software would you recommend for a beginner like me? Because my school never offered CAD classes for Electrical Engineering students and apparently it's quite essential in a lot of the consulting engineering companies here in Qatar.
AutoCAD is a good place to start. TH-cam videos should guide you true
Also disclaimer, all information varies on your school that you go to for engineering!
Hi Tamer, I live in California and wanted to ask you of how difficult it is to land the first mechanical engineering job. I have asked many people and have gotten very vague and broad answers.
Broad answers are probably due to the fact that everyone has a different experience when searching for employment. One thing is certain, however, the easiest most secure way to get employed would be through an internship. The best way to get one is to have a connection or apply to a bunch of them bc a lot of the time it is just a numbers game.
bro seriously just said "female density" with a completely straight face. What a guy
I have an m1 mac and for my program we need to run autodesk inventor and python. How good is parallels for using autodesk inventor???
Do you think comp eng is a better eng degree since you can very easily pivot into software engineering. In fact, most comp eng grads just work as software engineers.
11:45 u said engineering sat on a desk and drew.We in India. Still have the same practices instead of AutoCAD in engineering graphics in India,I have already given hopes to my career and have started looking at alernative career options to earn money....
What about industrial engineering in terms of difficulty in mathematics and other courses?
at my school people referred to industrial engineering as imaginary engineering. its the easiest by far
You mentioned an extension that can enable you to read from transparent scripts during an interview, can you tell me the extension name or refer me to the video?😅❤️
Where can i find engineering exams to get a head start on for university
Which engineering job has more free time to the other things
lol as a student of developing country here it is exact opposite , civil and arch are the most popular and indemand followed by software, earth is round indeed
I love you tamer
I got into engineering because of curiosity and a need for a challenge
Hey Tamer, is writing the question before you solve a problem in your notebook a good idea or is it time consuming? (I’m an EE Major currently dealing with this in my E&M class).
It's a waste of time
you asking this question and fixing to call yourself an engineer? lord help us.
@@theastuteanglerdude, calm down. Jeez. I’ve been doing that less and just printing shit out instead. I also do it to retain information because it’s helpful and it’s something that might come up on the exam?
@@flashfunk0373 my point is do what you need to do to understand and retain the material. Dont worry about what other people do. If you need to write out the question, do it. I like to write out the questions unless I'm on a time crunch. Students and new grads like to flex and say "I'm an engineer, I have a degree" as if it alone makes them smarter than the next yet dont even have the independent thought to decide whether or not to write out their own questions.
@@theastuteanglerWhenever it comes to math or circuits, I prefer to print practice questions out or do whatever but my professors make it more simple to learn, but in my Physics III class, I just prefer to write the questions on my notebook because it helps me retain info on the question more as well as the concept. The problem is how Physics is thought in my school because I have to teach myself 95% of the time (as with other courses) and the TAs are absolute doo doo. At least there’s co-op to look forward to👍🏾
Hey tamer
If you could choose engineering major again would so stick with mechanical or change
And why?
I’d choose Systems Design Engineering at waterloo instead
@@TamerShaheen is it related to mechanical? Like mechatronics?
What about a video comparing Engineering in different countries 😄
eg. 🌍
I would but I don’t have much experience with engineering in countries outside of Canada and the US
Difficulty should have been subtracted from the totals in the decision matrix because its a negative
Graduated with a compSci degree. In my humble opinion, there is no way organic chem is easier than software engineering lol 🤣. My discrete math classes did not give me the same cognitive stress that my foundation year physics classes did 🥲. Maybe it had to do with the fact that where I come from, computer science or programming isn't as introduced in high schools as the natural sciences are so there was a larger group of people who were math, physics, chemistry and biology whiz's who were already pretty comfortable with the mindset required to tackle the problems in those domains. Computer Science/Software engineering problems are often logical and don't require you to have some sort of einstein-like intuition to solve as some natural science problems do. You just need to keep grinding and trying things and thinking a little systematically and maybe shed a few frustrated tears but you'll get there eventually 🌝👍.
I was gonna say this. the physics sequence busted my balls way more than the discrete math sequence. Electrical engineers go on to take much more math heavy courses, while my major veers off Track after the circuits and electronics sequences to do more software and algorithm stuff.
Could you make a video on how to study engineering in a foreign country
hmm what countries are u referring to when u say foreign
@@TamerShaheen Austria or Germany
@@TamerShaheen i didnt know you would reply wow
I'm in a chemical engineering course plan.
I am a mechatronics undergrad,, can you kindly do a vid in the light of your experience.
Yeah bro. Please 🙏
Had us in the first half, not gonna lie
What do u mean?
@@TamerShaheen looked exactly like the Wired Tech Support series. I thought you became famous overnight!
why is it necessary to consider female density?
Myself as an aerospace and mechanical engineering major, I would say aerospace is much harder than mechanical.
not at all, its just a more specific and very niche version of mechanical whereas mechanical is a bit more broad. but the courses themselves are very similar and overlapping.
The only thing that separates mechanical and aerospace really is fluids mechanics. Aerospace go into great depth of fluid mechanics which is what makes it harder. Both cover mechanics etc, and I think it’s pretty unanimous that fluid mechanics is much harder to grasp than mechanics because it’s not as intuitive.
Where is MSE & textile engineering?
Industrial engineering left the chat
HAHA
I am one of those bob builders
🐐
We want new video shaheeeen
I agree that mechanical have the least amount of female
Looks like I'll be the minority- starting my mechanical engineering in October. Its a shame in the UK engineering grads are lucky to be starting on £30k
u found a job in Mechanical Engineering?
@@praveenageetharaj4880 no, im starting my degree
in october
please share with us best teachers online I'm begging (mechanical and electrical engineering subjects) I'm a renewable energy engineering student and literally I'm suffering searching courses online I can't learn from a casual class with that amount of people so i chose following some online teacher to help me understand and process.
❤❤❤❤❤
I was sad now I am pessimistic.
High Janeen
Did he get the job?
So Mechanical doesn't have that much Mathematics? Great!
From the research I've done, there is a lot of math involved with Mechanical Engineering. You have to go up to Calculus 3.
@@wolfy_the_duck4914 🥲😮💨
Aerospace not sexiest ? 😂 it's THE Premier engineering degree, no bias.
He is just biased since he is a Mechanical Engineer, I‘m also studying Aerospace (in Germany, well I am from Germany)
5:33 Ahh yes, that's why most Bloxburg players mostly Girls and I'm just 5% in that game 😂
4:11 come on man! 😂😂..I am in Civil and I agree that mechanical is harder. But we all struggle💀..Some mechanical engineers don't understand statics 💀..we take statics and dynamics 2..Historically mechanical is a branch of Civil... However, you guys take thermo 2 and Fluids 2 so I can't argue with that😂😂😂
Haha it’s all love, just friendly banter ;)
How hard is mechatronics engineering from a scale from 1-10?
similar to mechanical
