[accordion-item title="▽ Sirah of the Makkan Period"]
The Prophet Muḥammad’s biography is studied with an emphasis on various practical lessons that one will apply in life. Studying the sīrah familiarizes one with the Prophet (saw) . As well, it strengthens one’s connection with him and increases one’s love for him. In this class, one will see how the Prophet (saw) lived. These lessons are invaluable for anyone wishing to actualize the message of the Prophet (saw) in his or her own life. In this semester, the Prophet’s life before his migration to Madīnah will be covered inshāʾAllāh.
Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 am

[accordion-item title="▽ The 40 Hadith"]
A select set of ḥadīth make up Islām’s fundamentals. Imām Nawawī collected these narrations in a compilation known as “Imām Nawawī’s 40 Ḥadīth.” Each narration is an indispensable part of the religion. In this class, each ḥadīth will be read along with detailed explanation elucidating the significance of the narrations.
Time: 11:10 am - 12:10 pm
Instructor: Mufti Mohammed Pasha

[accordion-item title="▽ The Fiqh of Salah, Part Two"]
The importance of the prayer is well-known. Most injunctions were legislated by Revelation coming to the Prophet (SAWS). However, to receive the five daily prayers, he had to perform his night journey. This shows the significance of the prayer. Through prayer, we communicate with our Lord daily. Every Muslim knows the centrality of prayer in one’s life. Yet not everyone knows how to perform it correctly. In this course, one will review many legal rulings specific to the prayer. One will learn which acts are compulsory, which acts are recommended, what invalidates the prayer, etc. Points of contention and misunderstanding from within the community will also be addressed. For example, why do some Muslims pray differently? What accounts for these differences?
Learning the Fiqh of Ṣalāh is an opportunity to learn how to pray in detail. An increased understanding will give one better attention and devotion while performing this sacred ritual. The final objective of this course is to enable one to comply with the order of the Prophet: “Pray as you saw me pray.”
Time: 12:20pm - 1:20pm

[accordion-item title="▽ Aqidah, Part Two"]
Studying ʿaqīdah is crucial. Knowing this subject is obligatory on every Muslim, so that one’s heart becomes illuminated by the beauty of Islām’s teachings. Imām Abū Jaʿfar al-Ṭaḥāwī’s ʿAqīdah is studied throughout the entire Muslim World and it serves as this course’s main textbook.
InshāʾAllāh, this class will be a beacon of certainty guiding one’s steps on an otherwise ambiguous path. Upon completing this course, one will be equipped with a luminous set of simple yet sound creedal principles through which they can understand and defend their faith. In this semester, the work’s first half is studied.
Time: 10:00am-11:00am
Instructor: Sh. Yusuf Suliaman

[accordion-item title="▽ Fiqh of Purification"]
The first thing that one will be held accountable for on the Day of Reckoning is the prayer. And Allāh only accepts one’s prayer when it is performed in a way that is legally valid. Accordingly, it is incumbent on every Muslim that they properly learn how to pray. In the upcoming semester, this will be discussed in detail. Before discussing how to pray, one must learn how to prepare for the prayer. And the most important act that precedes the prayer is purification. The Prophet Muḥammad (saw) said, “There is no prayer except for from one who is pure.” In consideration of the fact that one requires purification to perform a valid prayer, the books of jurisprudence typically begin with the chapter of purification. Thus, purification is the first topic studied. This class will cover many topics from the chapter of purification, such as wuḍūʾ, ghusl, tayammum, menstruation, and impurities.
Time: 11:10am-12:10pm
Instructor: Mawlana Nabbil Khan

[accordion-item title="▽ Islamic Etiquettes"]
The Prophet Muḥammad (saw) said, “I have been sent to perfect good character.” Good etiquette is a fundamental component of our faith, so much so that the scholars say: “Learn adab before ʿilm.” One must couple positive actions with good character. In this class, the essentials of Islāmic etiquette will be studied, including how we interact with our Creator, our fellow Muslims, our non-Muslim neighbors, our colleagues, and our environment.
Time: 12:20pm-1:20pm
Instructor: Sh. Zubair Kahir
