He was pressed tightly and thought he was going to die. Alone at night in a cave far away engulfed by an unknown being, how fearful he must have been.

He was pressed tightly again; surely he was going to die. Confused and bewildered, he defensively uttered, “I cannot read”.


“Read in the name of your Lord”

This is how the story begins…

Eight years ago, the founder of AlMaghrib Institute launched a classic seminar that touched the hearts and shook the inner core. Taught only for a short period, the seminar was then locked away in the AlMaghrib Vault.

This was the seminar that started it all…

25,000 students and 31 cities later, AlMaghrib opens the vault and returns the epic,


Bigger…
Better…
and much more intense
 

Touched by an Angel

Tafseer Juz Amma

Taught by Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef


“I went around surveying people, asking them what Islamic topic they loved to study the most, and the one thing that I found kept ranking the highest was that Muslims loved to study Tafseer. So when I launched AlMaghrib many years ago, I started with Touched by an Angel: Tafseer Juz Amma and it became a classic”
Muhammad Alshareef
 
 

“What I enjoyed most about this class and still enjoy about Shaykh Muhammad is that he keeps it real and tells it like it is - there's no spin involved when he teaches a class. He may use new and contemporary language and examples to convey a concept, but rest assured that nothing is sugar-coated.”
Siraaj, Chicago
 
 

Juz Amma is the most oft-recited juz, one of the most crucial to our Aqeedah, yet it is among the most neglected in meaning. Reciting it day in and day out in our salah, it has become a mere exercise in automation. We have lost the excitement we felt when we first learned these verses.

 
 

“These are the surahs that you recite most often, yet you might not know what they mean. And I ask you dear brothers and sisters, if you lived up to this point and you don’t know the meaning of these surahs now, then when will you learn it? And the answer is: you’ll learn it inshaAllah in this Tafseer Juz Amma class.”
Muhammad Alshareef
 
 

Over 1400 years ago, our Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wassalam) embraced a journey of revelation that once started in a cave. Within 23 years, Rasoolullah encountered heavy trials, difficult sacrifices, and long nights of supplication for his Ummah.

Indeed a mercy to mankind, Allah (swt) gifted us a Prophet who spoke the words of Allah. The Qur’aan is a book of infinite wisdom and blessing. All you have to do is share it with people and their imaan and love for Allah (swt) increases.

 
 

“Whenever some people gather in one of Allah's houses to recite the book of Allah and study it among themselves – then calmness (tranquillity) descends upon them, the angels surround them, mercy covers them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with him” (Hadith Muslim).


In this seminar, you will be:
  • Learn the rich meanings behind the surahs in depth
  • Study the history of the circumstances of the revelation
  • Embrace the impact of the lessons taken by perished nations, Quraish, and others
  • Taste the sweetness of Jannah and focus on what truly matters
  • Discuss the conversations that take place in Heaven and Hell.
  • Appreciate why this is the Juz that People flock to commit to heart first and hold on to for a life time!
 
 

“We have just completed this course this weekend and it was fantastic! There were many memorable moments - light hearted humour, but also looking at the Quran in a different way - with a lot more understanding. Recurring themes - evident throughout the Qur’aan - a story behind the verses - a journey through the Qur’aan - one that makes you think about where you are in life personally. It was an eye-opener. Listening to other people’s point of view - something you would not normally pick up; deep thinking and contemplation. Recommend to everyone.”
Rizwana, UK
 
 
In this seminar, you will be:
  • Taking a journey with the words of Allah SWT
  • Fulfilling your duty as a seeker of knowledge
  • Forging that bond of sisterhood and brotherhood while the angels encircle you

Subhanallah, I have just attended my first Al Maghrib course and the only words I can use to nearly describe it is "I have literally been blown away!!!". This is knowledge which is at another level and the courses are run so professionally and at an amazing academic medium. WARNING!!! Just one course and you will be addicted (I swear by it). Thank you to all the Sheikh's for sharing your knowledge and wisdom, may Allah (SWT) bless you with the highest positions in Jannah for you have truley helped me taste the sweetness of emaan.
-Mohammed Auwal Hoque, U.K

I thank Ustadh Muhammad AlShareef for finally coming to London-Uk, and thank you for your hard work. We love you all for the sake of Allah, and remember this is your second home Inshallah. Wallahi, because of your seminar I have learnt so much, and I can't wait for the next seminar Inshallah. Your sister in Islam Zamzam

Masha'allah sh muhammad did a great job I am so proud of him. May allah take him to janna and his whole family!! ameen

I have to say this was the best course I have ever attended. The course has changed my whole understanding of the Qur'an. The Sheikh made the course very emotional, fun and a valuable experience. I loved the stories and examples throughout the course.

He was a very highly intelligent tutor and course delivery impeccable. The stories he relates are sooo funny they make the whole experience memorable and fun to learn

subhannallah, Muhammed Alshareef did an AMAZING job at this seminar. Ive never seen him so enthusiastic. His enthusiasm made me enthusiastic, and I will never forget this course because of him.

Excellent teaching style mashallah; I particularly like the way the instructor utilises his worldly knowledge, psychological research and surveying to arrive at his theories/conclusions. The instructor is unique in the way he captures the pupils' attention, with little effort, the way he thinks, as well how he questions and challenges everything/customs around him. This certainly rubs off onto me and I am exceedingly pleased I attended this course, alhamdulillah. Many thanks.

Alhamdulillah the course had a very positive impact on me and those I know who attended the seminar. I was able to relate to the analogies and stories which created a greater understanding and awareness of the importance of the content.

This course heled me to have khushoo in my salah. I was finally understanding what I was reading in salah. There was so much in that one Juz that I never knew about. The sheikh was also fantastic mashAllah! -Nasira, Bradford.

Firstly, Tafseer rocks! MashaAllah! After attending this seminar my love for tafseer has increased due to gaining a deeper insight into the most recited portion of the Qur'an.

Alhamdulillah, after attending this seminar I have gone on to delve deeper in to the Qur'an, further my study into the subject... and it's not my favourite Islamic science! -Alima, UK

Touched by an angel has been my favourite AlMaghrib class. The Shaykh really brought to life the surahs we all recite daily and made them relevant to our lives.

Sheikh Muhammad Alshareef was FAB!!!! Alhamdulilah, he really made me reflect and think about my relationship with the Quran – words that I have read many times (both English and in Arabic) but over looked, suddenly these words had immense meaning and importance.

For me this course has connected me back to my Creator. Now when I pick up the Quran, I truly interact with Him my Rabb!

I really felt that the course made me rethink my life. The Quran was brought to life for me. Reciting the surahs collectively with the rain pouring down was so overpowering and motivating. Reciting the surahs now in salah has added understanding and khushoo.

Touched by an angel – ALHAMDULILAH!!! This course was a very uplifting experience. It picked me up just when I needed it. Sheikh Muhammed was fantastic mashAllah. It was an unforgettable experience that has initiated an attachment between me and AlMaghrib institute. It was a complete reality check. The sisters were very hospitable, and the atmosphere was amazing.

Touched by an Angel was the first Almaghrib course i ever attended, at first i was not too sure what to expect, but, Subhan Allah as Sheikh Muhammad AlShareef went on reciting verses of the Juzz, Allahu Akbar, i was amazed, actually i dont think there is even a word in the English language that i know of, that can explain my feelings at that time.. the course has really been a great experience for me in my life, i have come to realise the importance of understanding what we recite, especially in our salah.
