Towards a Prophetic Community

January 16, 2010 | 29 Muharram, 1431 (AH)

You are all invited


TCE in Durbah NJ

The Code Evolved

The Code Evolved: Evolution of Fiqh, Islam came.
Life evolved.
Islam should have died.
It should have…
but it did not.
The Code Evolved.

You know you’ve heard this dialogue before:

“You MUST follow a Madhhab!”

“You must NOT follow a Madhhab!” Huh?

“I only follow Abu Haneefah!”

“I only follow the Qu’ran, not humans!” Huh? “You must be a Wahhabi!”

“I don’t even know what a Wahhabi is. You must be a blind follower!” Confused, huh?

Today, watch every coffee-shop-Islamic-debate and you’ll see it wander into talk like that. Are you really supposed to follow a Madhhab and question nothing? Or is it that you should challenge everything regardless of your ability to read the Qur’an or not? What is a Madhhab anyway? Huh?

“It is not permitted for anyone to accept our views if they do not know from where we got those views from.”
- Imam Abu Haneefah (rahimahullah) [from Hashi'yat Ibn A'abdeen]

Pull your legs out of the confusion quicksand. Empower yourself with the new seminar by AlMaghrib Institute: The Code Evolved: Evolution of Fiqh. Where did our Fiqh come from? How did we arrive at our current state of understanding Islam?

You’ll learn topics that include such things as the proper methodology in pursuing an authentic understanding of Islam. You’ll study the blessed lives of the four Imams and appreciate who they really were. Before preaching to others, you’ll understand for yourself first why there is such a thing as ‘valid’ differences of opinion. And through the Tawfeeq of Allah, if you are successful and sincere in your studies, your Eman will increase as your knowledge increases.

“Then the cities of Islam grew, and illiteracy disappeared from among the Arabs because of their constant occupation with the Qur’an. After that, the development of Fiqh took place. Fiqh was perfected and came to be a craft and a science. The Qur’an readers were no longer called Qur’an readers but Fuqaha’ (Jurists) and religious scholars.”
- Ibn Khaldun: Al-Muqaddima

“After the first weekend, I looked at the people around me who didn’t take the AlMaghrib seminar, and I now saw them in a different light. I saw that they were ‘left behind’ - The train moved past the station and there was no getting back on for them. They would be left behind while the passengers would move onto greater things. One friend, called me and said, ‘Let’s go see So and So movie’ - it’s playing at midnight…I thought to myself…He COULD have LIVED something better.”
- AlMaghrib Student

January 22-24 & 29-31, 2010
Fridays: 7pm-10pm
Sat & Sun: 10am-7pm
