30 year old - is it advisable for me to join your or Any Alim course over at South Africa or over here in USA
Question
I am 30 year old, working as an Electrical Engineer for 5 years in USA, married, father of two, expecting 1 more in 6 months inshaAllah. I have received my US green card about a year. I am the sole earner for my family. I am also active in tabligh work and participate in complete 5-ammal Alhumdulillah. I am originally from Bangladesh.
Based on my situation, is it advisable for me to join your or Any Alim course over at South Africa or over here in USA? Financial condition worries me a lot but ever since I joined the tabligh effort 9 years back, I had great thrust to study Islam. I will be going to Nizamuddin to start my 4-months in July/August 2006 inshaAllah.
Answer
Considering your circumstances described above, I suggest you pursue your studies in your home country of USA. I suggest you continue working in the US but try to search for a part-time study programme within your area.
