[quote]Assalaam alaykoum, Brother Aboo,

Thank you so much for your kind reply.  As for my learning, I have been taking the courses available at Studying Islam.  I am very happy and pleased with what I have accomplished thus far, insha Allah, it is pleasing to Allah swt.  My intention is to continue with more courses.

I have not yet taken the Intro to Hadith nor Understanding Sunnah courses.  I intend to take them after the 3 I am currently signed up to take.

Let me ask you this, I have read that the ahadith were compiled about 200 years after the death of our Prophet Mohamed pbuh.  Is this true?

And what about this hadith: &quot;Do not write down anything of me except the Quran. Whoever writes other than that should delete it&quot; (Ahmed, Vol. 1, page 171.....also Sahih Muslim)  What is your opinion of this?

I will not go farther since I am still just a &quot;learner&quot; of Islam.  As for Arabic, I am just a student of Arabic.  If I had the monetary resources, I would attend a university or college to advance my learning of this beautiful language.  For now I use an English-Arabic dictionary to search out multiple word meanings and multiple English &quot;translation&quot;/commentaries on the meaning of the Qur'an.  I realize I am limited in my understanding of Qur'anic Arabic, but I am trusting in my Allah swt to increase my understanding and learning in this area.

Al-Qamar 54:17 Allah swt tells us he has made his Qur'an easy for us to understand, learn, and remember (from over 16 different &quot;translations&quot;).  I believe and trust my Allah swt in this.  Alhamdoulilah, Allah has made the Qur'an so.

Salaam.

Your sister in Islam,
