In Pursuit of Knowledge - Sheikh Hathiam Tamim
Our Prophet Muhammed (pbuh): " The seeking of knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim."
It is very easy as students to get sucked in into the glittering lights of London and forget all about our ulimate purpose. We spend in excess of £3000 every single year paying for tuition fees to aquire worldly knowledge of academia. We've spent our youth going from school to college to university constantly progressing in our plight to gain more and more knowledge to achieve these top grades.
How much time or money do we spend acquriing knowledge of the religion we profess to follow?
Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) saud "One who treads a path in search of knowledge has his path to Paradise made easy by God…”
This is a MUST event where Sheikh Hathiam will part some indespensable wisdom as to why it is incumbent upon each and every one of us to "tread a path in search of knowledge".
The Inevitable: Death - Ustadh Alomgir Abdul Aleem
When Allah sends the Angle of Death to collect your soul, will you be ready?
"Just another day. Just another day" we'll helplessly utter but when the time comes no respite shall be granted.
We all know that we will one day die. Death is the only absolute certainty that we know of. Are we preparing for it as we ought to be?
Ustadh Abdul Aleem will give an inspiring and hope-filled talk on the certainty of Death and the lack of time and how we should be taking active steps to prepare for this certainty. A talk that will without doubt re-ignite the zeal within all attendees to prepare for the meeting with their Lord.
When Adam met Eve - Sheikh Abu Imran Al-Sharkisy
Our beloved Propeht (PBUH) has said "When a man marries, he has fulfilled half of his religion, so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half."
Marriage is something often downplayed and trivialised by today's Muslim youth but, by Allah, if we knew of the blessings contained therein we would all race to complete half our deen (religion).
This marriage talk by Sheikh Abu Imran will cite the many blessings of Marriage and how it is incumbent upon each and every believer. What characteristics one should look for in a spouse and how to have a successful marriage will also be talked about in depth.
Sheikh Abu Imran's informative yet light-hearted approach to the topic of Marriage is an absolutely brilliant way to wrap the week of talks and leave us all feeling a little lighter and provide us with a refreshing outlook to the topic of Marriage.
The Time is Now: Journey to Islam with LOON and Muslim Belal
Thursday 3rd December
He had it all. The money. The fame. The glamour. But something still didn't feel quite right.
Amir Junaid Muuhadith, born Chauncey Lamot Hawkins, was an African-American rapper formerly part of P.Diddy's BadBoy Records. He went by his stage name, Loon, where he released dozens of hit R&B and Hip Hop songs as well as releasing his self-titled debut album: Loon. Despite his phenomonal success, Loon wasn't quite satisfied with life. A deep, feeling of melancholy lingered in the pit of his stomach craving only one thing: Peace.
Peace of mind and peace of heart.
This awe-inspiring talk will feature Loon, Amir Junaid Muuhadith, recollecting his journey before and after BadBoy records and how his search for true peace led him to the religion of Islam.
This is a SPECIAL event where all myths and misconceptions regarding the glitzy life of fame will be quelled and you will receive a true and unpparralled insight as to why anyone would leave a life of apparent 'success' for a life of utter simplicity.
Hope to see you all there. Spread the word!!!
