			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following a poem written by Br. Afnan Khan, an attendee of Nurayn seminars, after taking the &#8220;The Last Breath: Fiqh of Death&#8221; class. Enjoy!</p>
<p>Blood runs deep&#8230;<br />
it flows from beneath the streets.<br />
with free rhythm thats only willed by God to be free<br />
that makes each of us an I, he, she, and most definitely a We</p>
<p>blood runs deep&#8230;<br />
to the impetus pulsating of pulses that pulse through your body, and mind and their roots:<br />
Your veins<br />
Your veins that flow through your mouth to produce a beautiful voice<br />
And your hands that say no to murder or not with a choice</p>
<p>blood runs deep&#8230;<br />
to the soil you walk on<br />
from under the flesh that grows of your freshly mowed lawns<br />
that cover this wide expanse of raw earth</p>
<p>I stated a statement that put us in this state of &#8220;from&#8221;<br />
so where does blood run from?</p>
<p>From what you&#8217;re worth<br />
the form that you were formed to by a formation from dirt<br />
By steps of dust, stinking, sound, &amp; clay you were made<br />
A little lovely spec I call earth and your grave</p>
<p>So ye who believe<br />
believe you will die<br />
so don&#8217;t puff your chest to the sky<br />
because it barely accedes past your neck and under you chin<br />
so no matter how hard you try<br />
you&#8217;re not so fly<br />
so act now because you have no time<br />
and death is right behind your breath<br />
it&#8217;s gravity will pull you down to your final rest</p>
<p>so I advise me, you, and We<br />
this &#8220;death&#8221; will never leave<br />
So yeah, Blood runs deep&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AlMaghrib Institute is pleased to return one of its pioneering seminars:</p>
<h3><a href="http://almaghrib.org/seminars/518"><strong>Shahadah: Fiqh of Dawah by Shaykh Kamal El-Mekki</strong></a></h3>
<p>Living in the West, not only do we get ample opportunities to give Da’wah but it is all the more a responsibility we carry on our shoulders. Think of the last time you bumped into a non-Muslim who had an inquisitive stare at the unusualness of your appearance. Did you let that chance pass as yet another awkward moment?</p>
<p>The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wassalam) said:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence” Sahih Bukhari</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>In this seminar, you will learn how to:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Understand yourself and what type of Da’wah you fit in</li>
<li>Capitalize on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses</li>
<li>Revisit your initial intentions for the Da’wah</li>
<li>Develop and improve your manners as a person</li>
<li>Learn the power of words and their effectiveness on logic and emotion</li>
<li>Learn the do’s and dont’s of giving Da’wah</li>
<li>See many perspectives and gain a complete point of view</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>The Conqueror’s Perspective</strong></p>
<p>Stories are often told from the perspective of the conqueror: Ancient  maps depicting exaggerated sizes of the European continent; stories  told from a Euro-centric perspective; significant chunks in timelines  distorted or removed entirely to cover up empowering truths.</p>
<p>The time is long overdue for the Muslim Ummah to reclaim its story…</p>
<hr /><strong>The Treasure Cove</strong></p>
<p>Africa is a treasure cove embedded with scholarly tribes and ilm-powered cities.</p>
<p><strong>Expand your knowledge on:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The roots of Africa and its name</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Africa’s first encounter with Islam</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The role of Africans as Sahabah</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The extensive advancements of Islamic scholarship as result of African schools.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The importance and history of major cities like Timbuktu and Qayrawaan</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>African Heroes who saw to it that Islam remains upon the Quran and Sunnah</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The various movements and eras Africa witnessed among the Muslims</li>
</ul>
