Etched in the Eye of the Beholder


Struck with blindness at an early age, a veil dropped over the eyes of Muhammad ibn Isma’il. Through the persistent dua’as of his pious mother, one morning he woke up to find glimmers of light enrapturing his eyes. The veil vanished, Allah the Almighty restored his eyesight, and made his eyes the etching stone on which the truth was to be carved.

“O seeker of knowledge, Imam Muhammad ibn Isma’il has arrived. Whoever wants to receive Ahâdîth from him should present himself in his company.”


Pack your bags for a journey through time, to the rich lands of Egypt, Syria, Basra, and Baghdad. Let us sojourn with the Muhaddith: IMAM BUKHARI


His mission was clear…

Θ To Separate Fact from Fiction


Once four hundred Muhaddithîn had gathered in the city of Samarqand to test Imâm Bukhârî. They mixed up the transmissions of Syria with the transmissions of Iraq and vice versa. They tested Imâm Bukhâri for seven days, but could not mislead him in text or transmission. He had comprehensive knowledge in the science of Hadîth - all of the routes of a Hadîth were etched in his eyes.


Θ To Convey the Truth


The Governor of Bukhara asked Imam Bukhari to teach his son. Imam Bukhari replied,

"I do not want to abuse knowledge and carry it to the footstep of the rulers. If anybody wants to learn, they should come to my school." The governor replied, "If my son was to attend your school, you would have to teach him separately." Imâm Bukhârî answered, "I cannot stop any person from hearing Ahâdîth."


Upon this, he was banished from his own homeland


Θ To Clear any Misconceptions about Muhammad the Messenger


Due to the jealousy of a handful, mass propaganda and rumors spread about Imam Bukhari. Men disconnected themselves with him and condemned him as a foe. However, he did not let his struggle stand in the way of spreading the three hundred thousand hadith he had memorized in order to pass on the Message of Muhammad.


And so is ours...


Θ True or False: Learn how to determine which Ahadith are authentic. Cast away the innovations and untruths forcefully inserted into this religion. “And say the truth has (now) arrived, and the Falsehood perished: For Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish.” (Suratil Israa’:81)


Θ Rescue the Forgotten Legacy : Salvage and revive the forgotten Sunnahs.


Θ Sharpen and expand: Your memorizing skills and ‘ilm to include the source identified as the most authentic after the Qur’an.


Θ Discover the key: Learn the methodology to open this treasure chest of precious gems which Imam Bukhari devoted his lifetime to collect so meticulously.


Θ Generate a Toolbox: Acquire the correct tools to bulldoze the misconceptions about Prophet Muhammad (salallahu alayhee wasallam) and re-construct and re-establish the forgotten legacy.


Θ Rekindle your Love for the Messenger: Express your love by becoming intimate with what he said, did, and silently approved of.


Θ Mount a camel: Along with Imam Bukhari and experience the bumpy ride. Appreciate the Imam’s struggles and sacrifices in the quest for knowledge for the success of this Ummah.

To add to the very profoundness of this seminar, it will be taught and delivered by our latest instructor, Shaykh Navaid Aziz.

What is so profound about Shaykh Navaid?

  • Allah (swt) instilled in him a distinct love and passion for the Sunnah and its sciences from a very young age.
  • He began studying Sharh Saheeh Bukhari independently as a teen sitting on a bus on his way home from school. He later moved on to Madinah University to learn about Imam Bukhari from some of the greatest scholars of our time.
  • As the youngest AlMaghrib instructor, Navaid brings into the classroom fresh energy and a unique perspective on teaching.
  • Shaykh Navaid is a profound speaker, very clear in speech and direct in content. You will listen with engaged amazement and focus while he takes you on a journey of discovery.
  • Just from his introduction to Sharh Saheeh Bukhari, I had shivers down my back. It was a very powerful speech packed with so many gems and amazing information that I could not believe 30 minutes had passed when I thought it was only 10.

    Now is your chance to finally discover the stories behind the thousands of ahadeeth narrated to you and the struggles endured for them to be authenticated. Let Shaykh Navaid intensify your emotional attachment to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (sallah allahu alayhi wassalam) and walk away with certainty in the preservation and authenticity of your deen. Now is the time to bring the Sunnah back!

    After listening to only a few minutes of Shaykh Navaid's talk, I knew that inshaAllah he would be one of the best AlMaghrib instructors to date. Not only did he bring a fresh style to the subject matter, he also gave us practical steps to implement the lessons. It is a special gift from Allah to be able to relate to your students on both a religious and personal level, and I feel that Shaykh Navaid has been given both of these qualities. InshaAllah he will make a huge impact on the youth!
