Coming to
New York, Feb 3 - 5 & 11 - 12. 
Centuries have passed since the death of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam and his Companions. Many empires have come and gone. Yet as time has passed, Muslims have found comfort in the promise of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam. They would not go astray if they held fast to two things– the Qur’an and his Sunnah. The gift of Prophetic guidance was that it would last – so long as they held firm to it. “I have left behind me two things, if you cling to them you will never go astray. They are the Book of Allah and my Sunnah” (al-Haakim) The success of the early generations of Muslims was rooted in nothing other than their determination and dedication to Islam. When the tribulations (fitan) increased, they held firmer to the Sunnah of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam knowing that it would protect them. Is the same true for us today? How strongly do our actions reflect our claims of love for the Sunnah of our beloved Messenger? I love you ya Rasulullah, I really do... Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala instructs the believers to show their love for the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa salam by following his example: Actions speak louder than words.  “Say, if you love Allah, then
follow me.”
[Qur’an 3:31]
But, what does it really mean to follow the Sunnah? Scholars of the past have always associated faith (iman) with following the example of the Messenger sal Allahu ‘alayhi wa salam (‘itibaa’). But what does ‘itibaa’ entail? Is it about the clothes we wear or the food we eat? Or is there something more? What are the consequences of leaving the Sunnah behind? “
Beware of newly invented
matters. For, indeed, every newly invented matter is an innovation,
and every innovation leads astray, and everything that leads astray
is in the Hellfire...”
(Muslim) We hear these words recited to us every Friday from minbars around the world. But what do they mean? What constitutes innovation (bid’ah)? Is there such a thing as a good innovation (bid’ah hasanah)? Astaghfirullah! What are you talking about man? Every innovation is in the Fire.....is it? In this ground-breaking Double-weekend-DEGREE-Seminar Shaykh Yasir Qadhi and Shaykh Waleed Basyouni tackle one of the most important, yet misunderstood areas of ‘Aqeedah. What is the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah? How does the methodology of orthodox Islam differ from other sects and groups that have appeared over the course of history? What constitutes bid’ah (innovation)? What about kufr (disbelief), and takfeer (pronouncing excommunication)? Side step the arguments and unqualified theological debates by developing a holistic perspective that only true understanding (fiqh) can provide.
“Alhamdulillah I have attended
all of Shaykh Yasir's seminars and the best testimony that I can
give is that I am speechless after every day and wish that the day
would never end. Shaykh's precise, detailed and academic approach
to knowledge (with juicy tangents) topped with superb eloquence
is par excellence”

“Shaykh Waleed
Basyouni, Subhanah Allah I don’t know where to start, but he is
a teacher that captivates the audience, one who you do not want
to lose an opportunity to sit in his lectures. MashAllah, his stories
are unforgettable, his knowledge so sincere & deep, and his humour
lightens up the class, recharging the minds of students. (Not to
mention his unique Texas accent & drawl) I also love to hear his
tidbits of trivia from across fields of knowledge including all
the 'did you knows.”

SH.YASIR
QADHI
Alhamdulillah
I have attended all of Shaykh Yasir's seminars and the best testimony
that I can give is that I am speechless after every day and wish
that the day would never end.
When I heard Shaykh Yasir Qadhi was coming to town I was like, ''What, no way!! I’ve got to be there''. It was intense the course, loved every second of it. Make no second thoughts when you see AlMaghrib coming to your town brothers/sister, it’s a lifetime experience and Alhamdulillah they live up to the hype.
Alhamdulillah, after taking two other classes with the Shaykh, I thought, ''Oh yes! This is going to be awesome''.
I would just like to say about Shaykh Qadhi mashAllah is that he is very to the point. He tells us things that you need to know, not even necessarily about the class but just about the religion. One thing that open my eyes was him talking about the AlMaghrib teachers and they are not teachers but they are here giving us dawah.
Not only was he amazing but that class changed my life!
I have never had such an amazing and skilful teacher as Shaykh Yasir Qadhi in either Islamic or secular education.
Excellent professor: extremely knowledgeable, very methodical, well organized and solid communication skills.
Masha'Allah Shaykh Yasir Qadhi is a great teacher and he explains things so well. He answers your questions even before you may ask it. I love the way he covers every aspect of the topic and goes into all the small details and explains everything so carefully and fully. May Allah (SWT) reward him for all his hard work and efforts.
SH.WALEED BASYOUNI Shaykh Waleed ROCKED
the house today during our first full day of the seminar. The Shaykh’s style,
his recitation, his sense of humour, the stories, the topics discussed,
the group activities, everything! Shaykh Waleed
told his stories that would leave an everlasting effect.. Masha’ Allah American
people, you guys are so lucky to have Shaykh Waleed reside in your
country and deliver AlMaghrib courses. I was one of his students
in a London seminar he did in February and it has changed my life.
He is an inch perfect Shaykh, his sense of humour and his innovative
teaching style will always be cherished and remembered in my heart. So I must admit....wasn't
really excited for this class but one of the main reasons I had
for taking it was Shaykh Waleed himself. Alhamdulillah, I've had
the opportunity to be taught by him twice for seminars and more
for other events and he is truly not an instructor you miss when
he comes to town. This course is
imperative for every Muslim to understand their faith & their
Aqeedah (AKA creed). And Shaykh Waleed Basyouni, Subhanah Allah
I don’t know where to start, but he is a teacher that captivates
the audience, one who you do not want to lose an opportunity to
sit in his lectures. MashAllah, his stories are unforgettable, his
knowledge so sincere & deep, and his humour lightens up the
class, recharging the minds of students. (Not to mention his unique
Texas accent & drawl) I also love to hear his tidbits of trivia
from across fields of knowledge including all the 'did you knows.
Allah yehfathak ya shaykh wa ey barek feek. Shaykh Waleed
is a great teacher I like his teaching style he is very personal
with his students in the way, he converses with them like a father
does to his children or a brother to his sister. Assalamu Alaikum
Shaykh Waleed Basyouni is an amazing Teacher. |
