More details

Think of what would it be like to look inside the minds of the ummah’s greatest ‘ulema. Imagine the benefit of getting an ‘insider’s view’ of the way they thought, learned, and lived.

Learn from the lives of the very people who attained ultimate success –in the Dunya and the Akhirah.

Who were these great people?

They were the men and women who carried the standard of Islam.

Those who sought to enliven the vision of La illaha illa Allah through the power of their words and the beauty of their actions.

Those who refused to rest, in the hope of benefiting others – others, like you and I, who thousands of years after their passing continue to benefit from the fruits of their labour.

They are the ‘Ulema of Islaam.

“The virtue of the scholar to a worshipper is similar to the virtue of the moon when it is full to the rest of the stars”

• The sharpest minds.
• The best manners.
• The highest degree of Discipline.

They are the likes of:

• Ataa ibn Abi Rabaah, the famous student of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbass
• Al-Layth ibn Sa’ad, the Tabi’ee and Imam of Eygpt
• Fatimah bint Abdul Maalik
• Umm ud-Dardaa’, the sahabiyaat and scholar of Damascus
• The Scholar, Abdul Hameed ath-Thani
• Abdullah ibn Mubarak, the illustrious student of Sahabah
• ….and many more!

What can we learn from their lives? How can we implement their strategies for success in our own lives – today?

Introducing AlMaghrib Institute’s brand new SINGLE-WEEKEND-DEGREE Seminar Torch Bearers: Leadership Secrets of Islam’s Greatest Scholars.

Enter the most productive weekend of your life. This seminar will give you the benefit of a double-weekend seminar, concentrated into a single weekend format – intensifying the knowledge and the energy to derive the ultimate benefit bi idnillah!

This seminar will give you the tools to analyze the habits and values that were the driving force behind the success of numerous scholars of the past – what did they do to achieve such greatness in ‘ilm? How were they able to lead masses of people to the Truth in times of such great fitnah?

Do more than just marvel at the amazing accomplishments of the ‘ulema of the past, pave the path to your own success by modeling yourself after those who have achieved it!

Uncover the secrets of Islam’s greatest scholars in achieving success in:

• Ibaadah and their relationship with Allah
• Seeking Knowledge
• Time Management
• Giving Da’wah
• Dealing with the Fitnah of the times
• Remaining Steadfast [al-Istiqaamah]
• Their Public and Private lives

Where are the Women Scholars?

“History records few scholarly enterprises in which women have played an important and active role side by side with men. Islam produced a large number of outstanding female scholars, on whose testimony and sound judgment much of the edifice of Islam depends.”

• Layla bint ‘Abd Allah [known as Ash-Shifaa] was requested by the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallan to teach women the Qur’aan
• Nafisa bint al-Hasan taught hadeeth to Imam ash-Shafi’ee.
• Umm ud-Dardaa’ was a sahabiyyat, scholar and teacher of Damascus
• Ibn Hajar al-Askhalani states that he studied with 53 women.

Where are the women scholars today? Recapture the Scholarship of women in Islam by learning first-hand the ways in which Muslim women acquired knowledge of Islaam in the past.

“Whatever knowledge I have is due to my Wife”
- Ibn Hajar al-Askhalani

Relive the stories of their courage in calling others to Allah. Relive their struggles in the path to Knowledge. Comprehend the depth of their submission to Allah – for Allah aza wa jall tells us:

It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.
Verily, Allah is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving.

• You will get a closer look into the lives of some of the most important figures in the history of Islaam – what makes the ‘ulema so important? Learn about everything from their personal relationships with their wives and families, to the companions they chose as friends. Discover the beauty of their life’s stories.
• You will understand the key values that shaped the lives of the past scholars. What were the motivators that led to their success? This is your chance to find out.
• You will have access to classical historical works that are not available in the English language.
• You will be able to model yourself after the greatest people of this ummah and tread the path of the Righteous people who came before us.
• You will come away with a whole new respect for people of knowledge!

“This course will transform more then 5 AlMaghrib seminars into one practical applicational guide”.
– Shaykh Waleed Basyouni.

3 Reasons you CANNOT afford to miss this seminar:

1. The Best Role Models. What better example to follow than those who dedicated their lives to living and calling to the worship of Allah?
2. The Best Inheritance. The Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said: “The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. Verily the Prophets did not leave behind dirhams and dinars, rather they left behind knowledge. Thus whoever takes it, takes it as a bountiful share.”
3. Unparalleled Islamic knowledge, in ENGLISH! ThisAlMaghrib seminar is the result of extensive research and compilation of many Islaamic texts. Topics such as this are not available translated into English, and even native Arabic speakers will attest that a topic of this relevance is hard to come by. Show your gratitude to Allah by taking advantage of this opportunity!

The importance of akhlaaq with a main focus on examples of the righteous predecessors.

Don’t underestimate that, the price of which will cost you eternity. From the stories of our pious predecessors, we learn the importance they gave to good akhlaaq, whether it was in their private or public lives. Their no compromising attitude in having good akhlaaq reflected from the hadith of Prophet Muhammad salAllahu Alayhee wasSallam, where Abu Umamah Al-Bahili reported him saying,

“I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who gives up arguing, even if he is in the right; and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun; and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah for one who has good manners” [Abu Dawood].

So what exactly did they do to ensure that Allah becomes pleased with their akhlaaq and by His mercy they enter the eternal abode of Jannah? One of the stories Shaykh Muhammad ibn Faqih mentioned during the Rules of Engagement seminar was of a man who was stuck in a cave with two other companions. It was decided they would do dua’ to Allah, entreating Him to open the cave through their good deeds. A prime example of adaab with Allah subhanawat’aala was of one of the men who were in love with his female cousin. He invited her to be with him but due to fear of Allah, she refused. Once she was in need of financial help and she asked him for his help. Consequently he made a deal with her to let him do as he pleased with her and he would give her the money. When he got close to her, she said, “Fear Allah and do not do this (without marriage).” He got away from her, gave her the money and let her walk away for the sake of Allah subhanawat’ala. Because of his fear of Allah and His judgment upon him, the fear of entering hell fire overpowered him. When she reprimanded him at that moment, it was as if his goal became clear to him, his goal of entering jannah, of not giving in to temptations when it seems no one else is watching. He knew the All Knower would also be aware of what he was about to do in the privacy of his home.

Another story Shaykh Muhammad mentioned was of the time of Prophet Muhammad salAllahu Alayhee wasSallam. It’s a comprehensive incident of the basic rights and obligations of a person towards His Lord, himself, and his family:

When Salman al Farsi, a muhaajir from Mecca, and Abu Darda, an Ansaari from Madinah, were paired up in Madinah, Salman radiAllahu anh came to Abdu Darda’s house finding her in a disheveled state (this was before the commandments of hijab were revealed). He questioned her state and reprimanded her to look good for her husband to which she replied, “he has no interest in me, anything I do doesn’t effect him. He’s indulgent in ibaadah.” Right away Salman knew there was an imbalance in the way Abu Darda was leading his life. That night, he went to sit with Abu Darda, who gave him food and in turn Salman offered him some food to which Abu Darda declined saying he was fasting. Salman forced Abu Darda to eat his food (since Abdu Darda was fasting a nafl fast, he was allowed to break it). At night, Abu Darda brought a mat for Salman to sleep on and he sat next to him. When Salman asked him where his own mat was, Abu Darda said he was going to do qiyaam. However Salman didn’t let him do qiyaam until the last third of the night when they did it together. The next morning after fajr, Salman reported the previous days’ happenings to the Prophet to which the Prophet replied, “Your Lord has a right over you, your family has a right over you, and your self. has a right over you!”

From the examples above, the reason for the importance of akhlaaq highly emphasized in Islam becomes clear. Contrary to thinking that akhlaaq are limited to being nice to others, they are about doing what’s right, abstaining from what’s wrong, fulfilling your obligations and in essence, doing what the most beneficial thing is, according to the Qur’aan and Sunnah. By understanding the dynamics of how we behave, we can lead a balanced life, beneficial to us and those around us and most importantly, one pleasing to our Rabb.

Imam Shaafi’ee politely explains his position, but uncle Afzal just isn’t impressed with the answer. Tempers get steamy, voices shout over each other.

Do you think its possible for old uncle Afzal to beat Imam Shafi’ee in that debate? Indeed he could, but only with ignorance of one thing … the language and code of the scholars.

“I debated a scholar and beat him. Then I debated a layman and that layman beat me – he had no knowledge of the principles and texts. I had nothing to say.”

- Imam Shaafi’ee

Who has authority to give a fatwa? How can one Shaykh say something to be Haram while the other deems it permissible? In this double-weekend-seminar, students will learn about Islamic rulings and their method of deduction. They will learn such things as how legislation comes to be, how texts from the Qur’an and Sunnah are analyzed, and how apparently confusing verses are understood.

“I shiver at the thought of how much information I would have missed had I not attended.”

- An AlMaghrib Student

Who is this Seminar For?

• Parents trying to explain the ‘why’ of Islamic rulings to their children.
• Teachers in Islamic schools who may not have background in the Islamic sciences.
• Educated Muslims that want to be informed and literate regarding Islamic topics.
• Law school students hoping to bridge their learning with Islamic law.
• Students of any faculty where pioneering research demands Islamic insight of it’s legitimacy, such as medicine or economics.

• Anyone who was ever disenchanted by the cultural versions of Islam.
• New Muslims looking for a jump-start into understanding their Deen.
• New members of the community who would like to make lasting friendships with students from all over the local area.

At the end of this seminar you will be able to:

• Distinguish the categories of Islamic rulings.
• Appreciate the science involved in determining religious injunctions.
• Recall encompassing principles of Fiqh when confronted with confusing and contradicting opinions.
• Recognize the jurisprudential language used by the scholars.
• And – most importantly – your mind will be better equipped to filter culture and heresy from true Islam.

“These seminars are really the sweetness of my life.”
