About this event

Spirituality in Islam

Saturdays

 

Developing our connection to Allah is out true purpose in life. This can only be done through Islamic worship. We will aim to convey the teachings of Islamic spirituality as it was elucidated by the great scholars of Islam and their interpretation of the Quran & Sunnah.

 

We will study the inner dimensions of prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj, salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), seeking forgiveness and the night vigil prayer. This will lay the foundation to improve our worship and make our hearts focused in acts of devotion.

 

Personal and social conduct are key elements to success on our spiritual journeys. On this course students study the etiquettes of personal and social interaction. We hope, not only to educate, but to empower our students to lead confident lives as Muslims in their communities and be ambassadors of Islam.

 

We will also look at the spiritual journey through the guidance of great scholars such as Imam Ibn Ata’illah al-Sakandari and his wisdom and Imam Abdullah al-Haddad and his Book of Assistance.

 

Studying the Quran and Hadith is also a key part of learning the meanings of life and our roles here on earth. We will bee looking at selected hadith and covering the tafsir of Surah Yasin.

 

We also face many challenges on todays society and desperately seek guidance and support regarding such matters. We look look at the principles of raising successful children as well as discussing the challenges every Muslim faces in the 21st century.

 

All the texts taught on this course have been distilled from the most authentic classical Islamic sources, as well as authoritative contemporary research. On successful attendance and participation students will receive a certificate of completion.

 

Our Teachers

Our teachers convey traditional Islamic knowledge, which they have learnt from their teachers, who learnt from their teachers with an unbroken chain all the way back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This course is taught by Shaykh Waseem Ahmed.

Shaykh Waseem Ahmed

Shaykh Waseem started his search for sacred knowledge studying Arabic in the UK for a more than two years before leaving for Damascus in Ramadan 1426 (Oct 2005) to further his Arabic language studies at the Abu Nur institute.

In 2007 Shaykh Waseem started studying privately under his teachers. Alongside his private studies he attended the accelerated programme at the Dawli Institute for Arabic and Islamic sciences in Damascus. He completed a traditional curriculum and graduated in the summer of 2012.

Amongst the teachers he was fortunate to learn from was Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi. He studied many texts under him including; the Shama’il of Imam Al-Tirmidhi, the Principles of spirituality of Imam Ahmad Zarrooq, Adab Al-Suhbah of Imam Al-Sha’rani, The Sanusi Creed, parts of Al-Risalah Al-Qushayriyyah and the beginning of Iyha Uloom Al-Deen of Al-Ghazali. He also attended readings of some of the canonical hadith books (Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi) with the Shaykh.

He returned to the UK in 2012 and has been delivering lectures and regular courses around the UK since.

He co-founded ISNAD Insitute and Sacred Vows Introduction Service as well as Guidance Hub where he is the director.
