CAN MUSLIMS TRUST THEIR CHARITIES?
In recent times, we have have seen various online dramas unfold regarding the legitimacy or unsavoury practices of certain charities, which often leads the Muslim community to wonder: Can we trust our charities? How can Muslim charities uphold the values of amanah (trust) in handling funds? Do charities have the right governance and processes in place? Should charities be ‘Cancelled’ by the Muslim community? Join us this Monday as we speak to a critical insider from within the Muslim charity sphere, Ustadh Rehan Salim about the above and more.
It seems that Pornography is the pandemic nobody talks about, yet it's the one that has plagued individuals, marriages, and families all over the world for decades. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Omar Husain who dedicated his PhD to studying pornography in the Muslim community, and has a wealth of experience in understanding its causes, effects, and solutions. This will be an important one for parents, community activists, and Muslims from all walks of life.
Have you Ditched the Idea of Getting Hitched?
Marriage holds very little importance in modern society. For many, the whole process seems outdated and even the idea of marrying the wrong person puts many Muslims off from taking that big step.
Join us tonight with Ustadh Shabbir Hassan - Founder of The Nikah Co., who has conducted over 500 Nikkahs - as we delve into why Islam promotes marriage, why it is beneficial to society and why we need to dust off the cloudy lens through which we currently view marriage in today's times.
The spiritual highs of Ramadan shortly followed by its departure present a unique challenge for us all. Maybe that daily hour in Taraweeh can not be substituted and maybe the gatherings of Iftar don't feel the same outside of it either. But that is where 'Thabaat' comes in. Finding a sense of consistency and steadfastness in faith that grounds us outside of those spiritual highs. Likewise, when we witness the oppression of Muslims all across the globe our immediate reaction can often be one of anxiety and despair. Yet again how does 'Thabaat' play a part in this? Join us, Roots Conversations with Mustafa Omer, a teacher of Islamic Sciences, as we discuss this concept further!
Al-Najashi was Africa’s first Muslim monarch in the time of the Prophet (ﷺ). But, how did Islam arrive in East Africa?

Explore the legacy of scholars, seminaries and Islamic knowledge from the region with expert and Historian Ustadh Mohammed Abdullah Artan.
The history of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) is as rich as it is troubled, and is the centre point for incredible events throughout the history of Islam and humanity.

Where do you even begin... ? We often find ourselves on a random Youtube lecture, scrolling through endless reminders on social media yet we struggle to retain any of it. We're confident on the basics of Islam but unsure on how to get stuck-in and "serious" toward our Islamic Education. The concept of having to teach Islam to our family and children feels petrifying too, let alone holding a formal qualification in Islamic Knowledge! Join us with Sheikh Abu Taubah Mukhlis -Ex-US Marine and revert - as he discusses the challenges of studying Islam in our era as well as helpful advice on how to hop on the journey of knowledge ourselves and more importantly - imparting these values to our families by nurturing a wholesome Islamic environment in the West. Sheikh holds multiple ijaazat of Qur'an and books of Hadith - and is the founder of Timbuktu Seminary, an educational institute that focuses on the delivering a wholistic education using the traditional Islamic methodology. He currently resides in Turkey.
