The students not only commented on our informative and immensely beneficial lectures but commented on our lecturer\u2019s approachable mannerism and an open-minded approach which resulted in a dramatic growth in the student\u2019s spectrum of knowledge and change in their spiritual outlook.<\/p>\n<p>Al Halaawah Academy\u2019s seasonal approach in offering their discourses resulted in scores of students implementing and imbibing the sunnah in their day-to-day actions and lifestyle, whilst practicing on that which we have been ordained with and abstaining from those actions that we have been forewarned against.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-133","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/133\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142,"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/133\/revisions\/142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alha.org.za\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
