Al-Maqasid Community BBQ

Assalamu 'Alaykum,

Al-Maqasid is pleased to announce our next Bi-Annual Community BBQ, to be hosted on Sunday, May 26th from 1 pm to 4:30 pm inshaAllah. We look forward to a beautiful afternoon spent in each other's company for His sake. 

Additionally, please consider signing up to bring a dish to share.


JOURNEYING BACK TO THE QURʾĀN

LIVING QURʾĀN IN THE PROPHETIC LIGHT

Al-Maqasid is delighted to announce a one-day seminar titled "Journeying Back to the Quran: Living Quran in the Prophetic Light." This seminar will take place on Saturday, May 25th, from 11:15 am to 5:15 pm, inshaAllah.

Join us for an exploration of what it was like to receive the Qurʾān from the Prophet’s ﷺ blessed tongue. Discover how this Prophetic Light transformed and purified those Divinely chosen to be his Companions. Learn how we, in a time of great tribulations, can connect to this Light, transcending darkness to illuminate our hearts.

This seminar offers a unique path to the Qurʾān, bringing us to the heart of the Prophetic era when the Qurʾān was revealed to the blessed heart of the unlettered Prophet ﷺ. 


TASTING THE SWEETNESS OF WORSHIP


This weekly Majlis includes a recitation of the prophetic biography in poetry form followed by a counsel intended to connect the listener to the Prophet ﷺ and his teachings. The more we know about his life, character, and way, the more we will come to love and follow the one beloved to Allah.

the Path to Knowing Allah

Yahya rhodus

"Everything that happens outwardly, the good and the evil of it, ultimately comes back to the center of the human being, which is nothing other than our hearts."

Imam al-Ghazali says in his book Iḥyā’ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn:

"The honor and excellence of man, in which he surpasses all other sorts of creatures, lie in his aptitude for knowing Allah, praise be to Him. This knowledge is man's beauty, perfection, glory, and his provision for the world to come. He is prepared for this knowledge only through his heart, not by means of any of his other faculties. It is the heart that knows Allah, it is the heart that draws near to Allah, it is the heart that truly strives toward Allah, it is the heart that in reality draws near to Him, and it is the heart that experiences unveilings from the presence of Allah."


The True Measure of Success

Amjad Tarsin

All of the good or evil that we see manifest in the world is a result of the state of the people’s hearts

قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا | Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul (Ash-Shams, Ayah 9)


Embracing the Prophetic Example

Alaudeen Us'Sutteri

There is nothing more worthy of being attached to, admired, or connected to than RasulAllah ﷺ.

RasulAllah ﷺ is the perfect example of human conduct, embodying the highest moral and ethical standards. His life and teachings serve as a comprehensive guide for every aspect of our lives, offering wisdom, compassion, and guidance. By attaching ourselves to his example, we not only enhance our spiritual well-being but also find a path to true success and contentment in this world and the hereafter.


Time Famine

M Salim Khan

There is a concept in nutrition that says people can be overeating but still undernourished.

Allah has created this dunya in such a way that there is an outer reality and an inner reality. How can we access the barakah with respect to time?

SEARCHING FOR ALLAH

Habib Ali al-Jifri

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ وَٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ

O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. Allah is truly with those who are patient. (Quran 2:153)


قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا | Successful indeed is the one who purifies their soul (Ash-Shams, Ayah 9)

All of the good or evil that we see manifest in the world is a result of the state of the people’s hearts
