We are privileged to host, as part of our monthly programme, Shaykh Suleyman Van Ael.   

Shaykh Sulayman converted to Islam when he was 18. He then head out for Sudan to memorize the Quran. He studied in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Morocco, Belgium and Holland with more 50 different mashayikh. He was a professor at the Rotterdam University, Erasmus High school and was appointed as the head of Teachers by the Muslim Executive. He has his Bachelor in theology, Master (theory) in mental health, and is a counselor at London school of Economics, Imperial University and SOAS University. He is working on a video-library with more than 100 different topics and he wrote about 400 books which are being translated into English for the moment.

If we discovered a simple remedy that improved our health, more often than not, we would seek to share that remedy with all of those around us. 

Why do we not think the same about calling those around us to Islam?
Many of us struggle with our own practice of the faith, which renders us unable to even consider calling others. Or we may feel inadequately equipped within our own knowledge of Islam, which would falter our attempts of inviting.

We often forget that God commands us to "Invite to the way of your Lord, with wisdom and good teaching." 

Inviting others (Da'wah) to Islam is a primary function of a Muslim, however there are some requisites before we embark on that command. This invitation, in order for it to be effective and appealing, must be delivered with sincerity and wisdom. 

This talk aims to highlight such points of considerations and offer ways in which we can successfully fulfill this command of our Lord. 

Come, be inspired and a make a change to your lives.

Shaykh Amin is an active advocate of the classical Sunni tradition of Islamic scholarship, a passionate promoter of traditional Islamic sciences and methodologies of teaching and learning.

Education is a vast topic of discussion. With many varying approaches to education of children, self education of adults and a bewildering array of educational methodologies, which one is most applicable to us?

With the neglect of fundamental Islamic education that each of us are obliged to attain and the ever allusive draw of western academic success, this talk intends to strike a balance and outline an approach to fulfilling our obligations to our Creator and functionally serving His creation.

Saturday 27th January- After Isha Prayer - 7:30pm

As part of our monthly programme, we are privileged to host Ustadh Ousman Ansary, who will be discussing the Islamic Law of Inheritance, specifically looking at the importance of writing a will.

Of the many commandments and impelling verses in the Qur'an, very few are as specific and explicit as the verses pertaining to inheritance, mentioned in Surah An-Nisa:11.
  
The Islamic Will, al-Wasiyya, is emphatically mentioned by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) when he said:

"It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequest not to let two nights pass without writing a will about it." (Sahih al-Bukhari) 
​
This talk aims to provide a brief overview to law of inheritance in Islam and the importance of writing a correct and compliant Wasiyya, according to the Sacred Law.

 Come, be inspired and a make a change to your lives.

As we enter the month in which the Best of Creation was born, Rabi' al-Awal is a time that many of us should seek to realign ourselves with the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

Mufti [Abu Abdillah] Muhammad ibn Adam al-Kawthari is a young, traditionally trained scholar who studied in different parts of the world. Born in Leicester, UK, and raised under the guidance of his illustrious father, Shaykh Mawlana Adam, he started learning about Islam from a very young age and memorized the entire Qur’an at a very tender age of nine. He initially studied the Arabic language and various other traditional Islamic sciences including Qur’anic exegesis (tafsir), Hadith and Fiqh at Dar al-Uloom, Bury, UK, under many Shuyukh notably: Shaykh Muhammad Yusuf Motala and the late Shaykh al-Hadith Islam ul Haq, and thus received authorizations (ijazahs) in various books including the six major collections of Hadith. He also received Ijazah in Hadith from the late Grand Mufti of India, Shaykh Mahmud al-Hasan Gangohi, and underwent a one year course of specialization in the science of issuing religious/legal verdicts (Fatwa).

After graduating from the Dar al-Uloom, he travelled to Karachi, Pakistan, where he studied under one of the greatest living scholars, Justice (Rtd) Shaykh Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani and others, and received authorizations. Later, he travelled to Damascus, Syria, where he increased in experience and knowledge by studying under the great Ulama there and received authorizations (ijazahs) from Shaykh Abd al-Razzaq al-Halabi, Shaykh Dr. Abd al-Latif Farfur al-Hasani and others.

His authored books include: Islamic Guide to Sexual Relations, Birth Control & Abortion in Islam,
Elucidation of Forty Hadiths on Marriage, The Issue of Shares and Simplified Rules of Zakat. He has also published Shaykh Zakariyya Kandahlawi’s Wujub I’fa’ al-Lihya (The obligation of growing a beard) and Shaykh Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri’s Mabahith fi Aqa’id Ahl al-Sunna aka: Al-Muhannad ala‘l-Mufannad (Discussions in the beliefs of the Ahl al-Sunna), both with critical analysis and footnotes in Arabic. He is also widely known for his detailed and well-researched fiqh related articles which can be found at his website www.daruliftaa.com.

The Shaykh has taught many courses and lectured extensively on a range of topics, and continues to travel regularly teaching and lecturing both in the UK and abroad. Many of his lessons and lectures are available free in the Audio Visual section of the Darul Iftaa website, including the 22 part series on Islamic Manners conducted from Shaykh Abdul-Fattah Abu Ghudda’s Min Adab al-Islam, 18 part series on the Virtues & Fiqh of Ramadan and the 8 part series on the10 Things of Natural Disposition (fitra).
