22.01.2022 With all the focus on the Coronavirus (and so it should be in ensuring we are all abiding by the precautionary measures to limit its spread), I've been in two m...inds about releasing the Reaping Ramadan Intensive Seminar. But since the classes are limited to a very small number, AND we will be having an ONLINE ONLY live stream for one of the sessions, bismillah... may everyone stay safe and may Allah remove this tribulation and sickness from our people and lands, granting us ease and health, whether Muslim or any other faith. We are in this together, and may we be stronger at the other end, taking by the necessary means, and placing our trust in Allah. So I invite you to Reaping Ramadan Intensive Seminars... In this Intensive Seminar, you will - explore the Islamic legal rulings pertaining to fasting - experience the deep spiritual tradition of Ramadan - be well equipped to benefit from fasting and related acts of worship in Ramadan - have the choice of either attending a short evening intensive, or a more robust weekend time slot - be able to enrol each member of your family in an appropriate session (minimum age of 10 years old) Registration and more information here: ====> qulcollege.com/events QUL College will be hosting 3 physical sessions as follows, plus 1 ONLINE ONLY LIVE STREAM.

Children (aged 10-16) will have a dedicated session on Sunday 5 April 2.00pm to 4.00pm When registering for your family's tickets, you will be able to choose whichever sessions are appropriate based on the time and age of those attending. Also note that the Monday session is ONLINE ONLY.

21.01.2022 Every woman, young and old, needs a role model. An exemplar. A lady of the highest resolve, faith and character. No lady in the history of our Ummah can ever co...me close to Our Lady Khadija, may Allah be pleased with her.

Bringing her story to life, this session will reconnect your mind and soul with the timeless wisdom and sacrifice of one of the most important women in our golden Islamic history.

20.01.2022 With our NSW masajid closed, it’s no reason to close our minds and hearts. Instead, let’s step up a gear and make the end of Rajab a time in which we cement our bonds with the Best of Creation. Alhamdulillah we had our first online session on the Isra and Miraj. Reflecting on why Allah begins the Surah al-Isra with ‘subhanalladhi...’ and then discussing the amazing places of Makkah and Bayt al-Maqdis throughout the ages!... Our beloved is sent a heavenly beast to ride, with a companion to be by his side the entire journey. The Night Journey included essential stops through blessed lands on the way, including Prophet Musa and the birth place of Isa peace be upon them. Our Beloved also smells a beautiful fragrance inside Bayt al-Maqdis... we touched on all this in the live stream which is here for your viewing. We will continue from the Prophet’s arrival in al-Aqsa in our Monday 23rd March session, at 7:30pm AEDT (Sydney, AU) time. Check your local time and register here for our updates: shifa.net.au/live This is inshallah developing into an exciting series and journey which I hope brings us much need tranquility during these times of turbulence. Please share and forward to all your friends and families. Livestream will be on FB and YouTube inshallah.

20.01.2022 I met Shaykh Mazen Ahram from Masjid al-Aqsa on his previous visit to Sydney in 2018. Our Sacred Links group visited the Shaykh in Zawiyah at Masjid al-Aqsa in April 2019. He took us for a breathtaking tour on our night of arrival into Quds, pointing out the most amazing places in Masjid al-Aqsa. We met him again at Masjid al-Khalil, wherein lies the resting place of Sayyidin Ibrhm alayhissalam. Now he is visiting Sydney and it’s time to revive the legacy of Masjid al-A...qsa, what it stands for, its place in our Islamic history, and the fact that therein is the ONLY place on terrestrial earth that has a direct opening to the heavens! Whilst many of us consider and end up going to Umrah, visiting Makkah and Madinah, only few seriously consider Masjid al-Aqsa and its surrounds. Don’t miss this opportunity to be in the company of a living scholar who was born, raised and educated in the Islamic sciences within the old city of Jerusalem and Masjid al-Aqsa. - From Shaykh Ahmed Abdo Get ready for the tour of *Shaykh Mazen Ahram from Masjid al-Aqsa, Jerusalem, Palestine SYDNEY TOUR 5-9 March 2020 Tour Theme: Blessings of Masjid al-Aqsa: Past, Present, Future * Imam, Inspector and Muraqib (Monitor) of all Mosques in Jerusalem Teacher at Masjid al-Aqsa 39th Descendant of our Beloved Prophet Muhammad Details to be announced shortly, stay tuned! Please share to all your networks.

15.01.2022 Shaykh Mazen Ahram visiting rissalah college in Lakemba today and what a lovely opportunity to speak to the students about Masjid al-Aqsa and its significance. Thankyou Sh Nabeel and staff for your gracious hospitality.

14.01.2022 May Allah grant us tranquility, serenity, and steadfastness, in this life, as we pass on the next life, and in the next. As parents, it's not easy dealing with ...the mixed messages and having the deeply spiritual conversations with our children. Many, many, many mums and dads have expressed a desire to be able to discuss the situation we have found ourselves in during this pandemic, particularly when it comes to our children. On Tuesday 24th March at 8pm (Sydney time), we will inshallah have a limit of *100* people attend this live, virtual forum entitled: Parenting During Times of Crisis Register here ==> bit.ly/parenting-covid19 These are difficult and unprecedented times as Muslims, with the rapid spread of the Coronavirus. This session will allow you, as a parent, with your family, to connect on a spiritual level, deepening our faith in Allah, and make sense out of this pandemic sweeping the world by storm. This will be held as a discussion forum. You can choose to turn your video on or off, as well as audio or text comments will be accepted. The session will be facilitated by Shaykh Ahmed Abdo.

09.01.2022 My first dowrah (40 day intensive course) in Dar al-Mustafa back in 2005. I would sleep inside the room that would eventually be the same room I would study the... Shafi'i fiqh manual Minhaj al-Talibeen of Imam al-Nawawi many years later. It would be the same room which seemed to have been infested with bed bugs (aka baqq!) which not only would suck your blood, but also not allow you to sleep. Each morning I would wake up and search for the culprit 'baqq' but couldn't find where they were coming from. It wasn't until 40 days later, when I had to roll up my sleeping bag, that I found armies of 'baqq' warmly nested in the seams of the sleeping bag and inside the pillow case. I don't think I had scratched so much and so hard before in my life. The voice of the dedicated students and teachers who would walk around an hour before fajr waking us students up, with a loud and long 'laaaaaaaaaa ilaaaaha illallaaaaaaaah...." and for those of us that wouldn't wake up with that, a simple flick to the air conditioner (aka desert water evaporative cooler that pushes out cooler air than outside) to the off side would cause us to catch our breath, and wake up :) It was in such circumstances and feelings that I could probably say that was one of the best experiences I have ever had. And every day, after Asr, for the Rawha, Habib Umar would be teaching and explaining this very poem - al-Wasiyyah - by Imam Abdullah ibn Alawi al-Haddad. It is with this background that it seems fitting to delve into the meanings of that very poem and experience that helped change my life. With every difficulty, comes ease. With every difficulty, comes ease. Although you likely won't have any bed baqqs to battle, nor struggle with people turning off the desert air cooler to wake you up - our enemies are the same, our nafs and ego. So my hope and intention is that over the next 12 weeks (it could go for longer, as the meanings are DEEP), we will work together to battle our nafs, learn about the dunya and akhira, and how to reach Allah. If you are ready for this challenge and commitment, then this class is for you. Last night, I turned to my bookshelf and took out the same book which I wrote my notes in 15 years ago, whilst sitting in Musallah Ahlul Kisa' in Dar al-Mustafa. In small pencil writing, the reminders are still there, reading and reliving each moment. The words of Habib Umar resonating, reflecting upon the commentary of al-Habib Ahmad ibn Zain al-Habashi, and the poem of Imam al-Haddad.. the sitting cross legged on the floor and trying not to lean on any walls, being focused and attentive with full adab, inwardly and outwardly. Perhaps I leave the rest of the experiences for inside our weekly classes inshallah! The weekly online classes are based on one of the most brilliant and concise poems of advice for a Muslim in their path to Allah. The Advice, al-Wasiyyah, written by Imam Abdullah ibn Alawi al-Haddad is comprised of 39 lines of poetry covering 48 essential issues in perfecting our relationship with Allah and the rest of creation. Weekly Online classes delivered by Ahmed Abdo every Wednesday 7:30pm (Sydney time).

08.01.2022 As we adjust to this new way of living, with limited physical interactions outside the home, how are we going to prepare for a very different Ramadan this yea...r?
