It’s been acknowledged that true knowledge emanates not just from the pages of books, but from the presence of learned scholars. The Halaqa courses bridge this gap for Muslims in the West, connecting them with living vessels of wisdom. By immersing oneself in the company of scholars (Ulema), one gains access to the living embodiment of the Sunnah and the prophetic character, as they emulate the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. Studying under a traditionally qualified Shaykh ensures an unbroken chain of transmission back to the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
The Halaqa offers a concise yet intensive program, conducted biannually in various locations. It aims to instill in students the foundational aspects of their faith, igniting within them a desire to pursue further knowledge within authentic circles in their communities or elsewhere in the Muslim world. Our goal is to provide English-speaking Muslims with access to essential sacred knowledge and an introduction to additional religious sciences, facilitated by teachers adhering to the orthodox path of Islam.
Our objectives are clear:
- Cultivate a profound love for Allah, His Messenger (peace be upon him), and the Religion.
- Encourage students to embody the Sunnah in their daily lives.
- Arm students with a deep understanding of the fundamental tenets of the Religion.
- Inspire students to pursue advanced studies under the guidance of authentic traditional scholars.
