Shahadah: Fiqh of Da’wah

Dhu Nurayn — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 03:26:35 +0000

AlMaghrib Institute is pleased to return one of its pioneering seminars:

Shahadah: Fiqh of Dawah by Shaykh Kamal El-Mekki

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?

The Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wassalam) said:

“Convey (my teachings) to the people even if it were a single sentence” Sahih Bukhari

In this seminar, you will learn how to:

Understand yourself and what type of Da’wah you fit in
Capitalize on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses
Revisit your initial intentions for the Da’wah
Develop and improve your manners as a person
Learn the power of words and their effectiveness on logic and emotion
Learn the do’s and dont’s of giving Da’wah
See many perspectives and gain a complete point of view

I Have Finals, Should I Study or take Darkness to Light?

Ify Okoye — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:55:44 +0000

Salaam alaykum,

Do both, insha’Allah, study for your final exams and take Darkness to Light. So I’ve heard a number of people have declined to register for our amazing Darkness to Light seminar coming to Nurayn next week, taught by two of the leading students of knowledge in North America, Yasir Qadhi and Waleed Basyouni, both of whom have specialized in Islamic theology because of upcoming final exams. Has anyone else heard that? Or is that your situation?

I also have final exams scheduled for the Monday after each weekend, May 9th and 16th, but I’m still taking the class. And it’s not because I’m the Ameerah that I’m taking the class or that I don’t also need to study and prepare (read: cram) for my own exams. No, I’m so excited to take this class simply because it’s amazing! Those of us who attended Ilm Summit in 2010 got a taste of the depth of preparation, presentation and organization of the material by the instructors. And some of us had the chance around the time of The Prophet’s Smile class to attend either one or both weekends of this Darkness to Light seminar in Newark, New Jersey with Qabeelat Durbah.

This is a powerhouse course, two single weekend seminars back-to-back with two powerhouse instructors. No prerequisites, you just have to enroll online.

Join us, enroll online, don’t let final exams be an excuse to keep you away from the khayr of being in the gathering of knowledge with your fellow Nuraynies, the instructors, and the angels. Bring your textbooks, we’ll study in the morning, in the breaks, and after class ends, insha’Allah.

Side Note: I attended a wedding for one of my dearest AlMaghribi sisters in Canada this past October. I had an exam in Pharmacology (and pharm is killer) the following Monday. I still went, took my books along, we partied but I also studied (Faiza and Yusra can attest to this) when I had some down time and on the plane (all that commuting to the Shady Grove campus is an ideal time to study :). I made dua and the sisters made dua for Allah to place baraka in my time and studying. Went straight from Dulles airport to my school to take the exam and actually was a few minutes late for the exam due to a flight delay, got there, took the exam, and earned the highest exam grade of the semester. Never underestimate the power of dua.

Hope to see all of you next week, not only for Free Friday but for both weekends of Darkness to Light. And let’s keep the students amongst us in our dua for final exam season is once again upon us.

Jazakum’Allahu khayran,

Ify

Ameerah’s Closing Thoughts about The Last Breath

Ify Okoye — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 14:27:18 +0000

Salaam alaykum,

Jazakum’Allahu khayran to everyone who helped make this seminar a success!!!

Masha’Allah tabarak’Allah, I really enjoyed and benefitted from this seminar for so many reasons which are not necessarily visible. Please remember Sh. Waleed in your dua for sharing this beautiful knowledge and experience with us these past two weekends. Also, he mentioned that if you’d really like to thank him in addition to dua to remember to fill out the seminar feedback survey: https://surveyconsole.com/t/AY9vZC7rU

Alhamdulillah, the students of Qabeelat Nurayn put this ilm we learned into practice right away in a very practical manner by donating over $1900 to retire the debt of our brother who passed away last week. Insha’Allah, the rest of the funds will be forwarded to his wife and children in Saudi Arabia.

Jazakum’Allahu khayran to all of the volunteers and students without whom, after the tawfiq of Allah, we would not have been able to pull off this seminar. I could name names of those who came early, stayed late, helped plan before the seminar, set-up, cleaned up, sold lunches, worked registration, and helped out in the myriad of ways necessary for each seminar but I don’t want to make anyone feel shy or to overlook the contributions of others as you already know who you are :) May Allah azza wa jal make it heavy in the balance for you on the day when we will be in most need of any good we did in this life purely for the sake of Allah.

Jazakum’Allahu khayran to Nurayn’s Ameer and Ameerah, Tariq and Saimah for all of their efforts. It has been my distinct pleasure to work with both of them. They are dedicated, humble, reliable, and work very hard to help see through each of our projects as a qabeelah. May Allah, the Most Merciful, accept your efforts and make it a continual source of benefit for you in this life and the next. Ameen. Arif, welcome, may Allah azza wa jal help us to to fulfill this task.

It really is a blessing that through working with AlMaghrib and Qabeelat Nurayn we are able to meet other likeminded Muslims seeking to learn about their faith, deepen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, and put our faith into practice by sharing what we’ve learned and in volunteering for this deen.

On behalf of Qabeelat Nurayn, we do sincerely apologize for any and all of our shortcomings, from the parking mis-information on the Free Friday to the technical and logistic issues and difficulties with Parent Cam to not responding quickly enough to the needs or inquiries of the students and volunteers and other issues that may have come up during the seminar. Please forgive us, make dua for us to improve, and know that we do genuinely appreciate your feedback and are already working to make our upcoming Darkness to Light: Aqeedah 4 seminar and future endeavors an even greater success.

Jazakum’Allahu khayran,

Ify

Parking Info

Ify Okoye — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 13:32:08 +0000

Qabeelat Nurayn would like to express its deep regret to each individual that received a parking citation while in Lot A during the Free Friday session and for the faulty parking information.

After speaking with Parking Services, each individual that received a citation can go online to the link that is behind the citation and file for an appeal. In the appeal box they should write this: “I attended the MSA Lectures event on Friday, Feb. 18th from 7-10PM. I should have parked in the DECK but parked in LOT A. ” The $75 citation will then be reduced to $15.

Nurayn’s Stainless Steel Water Bottles a Hit!

Amani — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 01:18:45 +0000

Alhamdulillah, we purchased and sold 60 stainless steel water bottles at Nurayn’s Beautiful Patience seminar. 50 were ordered in advance and 10 were ordered as extras to be sold at the class. MashaAllah the 10 extras were sold-out before the class ended! Some have asked if we are going to order more and this all depends on YOU. I will order more once we have another 50 pre-orders. If you are interested in one (or more) please e-mail me at amani.elsawah@gmail.com.

Watch the Story of bottled water to learn about the importance of using reusable water bottles.

Jazakum Allah khairun for making this project a success!
