Shaykh Kamal Gets a Brownie Surprise from Durbah!


May / 3 / 2011 .
Shahadah: Fiqh of Da’wah with Shaykh Kamal El-Mekki!

asSalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

We have been patiently waiting for this seminar for a very long time – not to mention, waiting for Shaykh Kamal to finally join AlMaghrib!

Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef taught the original seminar in June of 2003, in the basement of MCMC – a landmark seminar which kicked off AlMaghrib in NJ. Since then, the majority of students have heard of that amazing experience, and longed to also learn the material themselves, in order to become more capable du’aat in their communities, inviting to the right way.

And now, 8 years later, here is everyone’s chance :) The seminar will be held on June 3-5/11-12 (double-weekend) in NJIT, Newark, NJ.

For more information about the seminar and to enroll, please go here: http://www.almaghrib.org/newjersey

We can never get enough of Shaykh Kamal’s lectures — here’s one for you, filmed in Australia, entitled: “Giving Da’wah in The West”. View below and enjoy! :)

Applications Open for Durbah Sisters’ Hifdh Program 2011

UPDATE: We are no longer accepting applications. Jazakumallahu khayran for all applicants who applied. We will be reviewing them and sending out acceptances within the next few days.

As salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah.

Alhamdulillah, almost a year has passed since Durbah launched its Sisters’ Hifdh Program. During the past year we were blessed to have many students join our program, and many have benefitted as well. Students have memorized anything from one juz to five ajizaa. It is and continues to be a struggle for all of us to memorize the Quran but sharing this experience with others in the program makes it sweet. Now, we would like you all to join us on our journey to memorize Quran. Applications are open for 2011!

To sign up, go to: Durbah Sisters’ Hifdh Signup

We at the Sisters’ Hifdh Program give you the resources and support to help you in memorizing the Quran. We offer tajweed classes for proper recitation and one-on-one time with a teacher. Teachers record students’ progress and help them formulate plans and strategies for their hifdh and review progress, so you’re not on this journey alone. We offer something truly unique, but don’t take our word for it. See what our students are saying about the program below.
