Healing Starts At The Quran Institute

Face "home truths" & Uplift The Ummah

Indeed, inner peace starts at home, it's our place of refuge and safety. To achieve this, you must face your "home truths." You need to prepare for marriage, level up your marriage, or heal after separation. It's all here at The Family Program.

Are you being held back? Lack of willpower and negative relationships have shackled us. It cannot be emphasised enough how much our friends, family and community limit our horizons and prevent us from uncovering our God-given potential.

This course will teach you how to find positivity through thankfulness and forbearance mindsets to become a positive influence on yourself and others. Eventually, you will build a growth mindset that will leave you never looking back as you venture forward.

Almost ten years ago, Moinul and Nasima left their careers and migrated to Egypt in search of full-time studies in Arabic and Islamic knowledge. Their son Hamza travelled with them from Cairo to Madinah, Makkah to Fez, and Rabat in Morocco in search of knowledge. Explore the disciplines of Islam while benefitting from mentorship, companionship and a real sense of community.

Build a powerful mindset that will help you build emotional maturity in a new vision for you and your loved ones. Seeking knowledge shouldn't divide families; it should unite them. This is why family is at the centre of the educational experience at the Quran Institute.

☰ Honorary visit by Shaykh Akram Nadwi: The Role of Quran in Family

Dr Shaykh Akram Nadwi is a prominent Islamic scholar known for his expertise in hadith and Islamic law, particularly his work on female hadith scholars. He is the author of the monumental 43-volume biographical dictionary, Al-Wafa bi Asma al-Nisa, which chronicles the lives of 10,000 female hadith scholars.

We will cover Juz Amma from a revivalist and contemporary perspective. This course is designed to help families find their spiritual footing in today's world, encompassing vision building, self-development, and critical thinking, making it accessible to everyone.

☰ Arabic: Whispers Of The Citadel with Mufti Moinul

A Sea of Wisdom With No Shore

Experience the deeper meaning of Arabic poetry and Islamic texts through grammatical and rhetorical analysis. Listen to the Whispers of a faraway land called "The Arabic Citadel", where words are people, sentences are societies and clusters of words make families and friends. This module will guide the student through a garden of wisdom, spanning from pre-Islamic to contemporary periods, from poetry to prose, and, of course, statements from the Salaf, the Prophet (pbuh), and, most importantly, Allah, the Lord of the universe. Many Muslims cannot see beyond the material; they cannot perceive the figurative and symbolic realities of life. Often, when people become overly materialistic, their ability to relate to others profoundly wanes and relationships become harsh, needs-based, and shallow. This module will help one discover what lies beyond the surface-level experience of life, where the jewels of virtue, morals, character, imagination, and beauty are found.

☰ 99 Names Towards Mental Wellness with Mufti Moinul

99 Names Towards Mental Wellness by Mufti Moinul

Embark on a fascinating journey into the depths of the divine names of Allah (swa), each holding a unique and profound significance.

The meanings of each name are like a sea without a shore. Imagine the transformative power of His divine names, like gentle waves, washing over the shores of our broken hearts! Divine names that make you want to get out of bed and face the day and want to sleep and trust tomorrow will be a better day. They are names that are unimaginably deep and meaningful to the human heart, and they profoundly affect our marriages, families, and relationships in general. The deeper you dive, the happier you will be. If we only knew!

What could be more tragic than leaving this world without experiencing the profound love of Allah! To truly know Him is to love Him, and to love Him is to worship Him. This is a love that can transform our lives, and it's a love that we should strive to know and experience without delay.

Join Mufti Moinul on a journey of self-discovery through one's connection with the Creator of the natural world and the vast universe. This connection exists despite our being unaware of it. All perspectives for mental wellness are based on the works of Imam Al-Ghazzali and various Exegesis of the Quran.

"Of all the years I've spent counselling couples and individuals facing a faith crisis, I've seen people so broken on the inside due to what a relative or friend did to them that they dislike being within their skin. They only find peace in scrolling online and other comforts to avoid feeling an inexplicable sense of pain. It's like they have been pushed out of their own Islamic aspirations and goals that live within them.

It fills me with deep sadness that they faced trials from creation without knowing the All-Wise, All-Knowing, Perpetually Loving Creator behind these experiences. A Creator that seeks nothing but to raise our rank and turn us towards Him before it's too late". - Mufti Moinul, Couples & Family Counsellor.

☰ Family Ummatics: Marriage Skills, Parentcraft with Mufti Moinul

Is it me or do we keep hearing about some of the nicest people we know getting divorced?

Have we ever thought our own relationships could be hanging by a thread and how it could be us next? A brother asked me why he should bother studying parenting if he isn’t married let alone with children. I told him “to discover how you were parentled incorrectly”. This is not to dislike or even be ungrateful to our parents, but to study the sacred sciences to build a filter to take all of the good and leave the toxic, character destroyed, confidence breaking behaviours that crippled us then and even affected our relationship in the present day.

It’s not about whether you’re a nice person, it’s whether you’ve inherited or taught how to relate to others below the surface level and how to not let toxic relationships obstruct your growth.

When we see shocking neglect by people who abandon their parents in homes to preserve a their lifestyles, we attribute our doing the opposite as a blessing of Islam. What we forget is that the old lady abandoned in the care home most likely did the same to her parents. This is a hardwiring that’s not easy to change through talk of how superior Islam is but rather through developing relationships rich with Islamic knowledge that inform structures that cement generations of families.

Generational change is needed, and for that we need to anchor families back to the Quran. We want to see a passing of the baton of well adjusted and knowledgeable generation that hands over to the next generation. These days, we don’t hand over what we got right, we hand over what we got wrong in our marriages and how we were parented to build generational trauma ending in a rise in faith crisis.

This why our motto is "family is the foundation". You do not need to be married or a parent. You need the desire to be one of the seeds of change and the soil for others to change. This will help you become family oriented person who wishes to branch out and help the Ummah and humanity.

In Surah Kahf there is a moment when the student of Musa (as) makes a mistake. Musa (as) did not become angry and correct him harshly. Rather the real relationship between teacher and student is shown when it was said:

‎ فَارْتَدَّا عَلَىٰ آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا |الكهف | ٦٤

And so they retraced their steps back (together).

☰ Tajwid: Sweet Science of Articulation with Ustadha Suhura

Al-Wilaadah: Exploring A Woman’s Spiritual Journey Through Pregnancy and Birth

By Muftiyah Nasima Umm Hamza

Introduction:

For many women the path through pregnancy and birth sees them refer to many magazines, articles and self help books written by western authors. In many cases there are not enough resources available for the Muslim woman and how she should view the journey to becoming a mother as a Muslimah, and if there are, then they are either not comprehensive, or scattered in multiple books. I found myself in this same situation when I had my first child, and I remember feeling very lost. Alhamdulillah, I learned through my own experiences and formal learning. This is why the aim of writing this book was to gather the spiritual guidance which our beautiful Deen provides us with, on the life changing journey of becoming a mother.

☰ In The Auspices of Salah by Mufti Moinul

In the Auspices of Salah | One Day Course | Inner dimensions of prayer

Ustadh Moinul Abū Hamza attempts to untangle the many modern confusions in relation to mixing matter with spirit, deen and Dunya so as to harmonise the two aspects in one's Salah and life as one single lived experience.

And is that what is wanted from us in prayer? What are we meant to be thinking about when reciting?

☰ The Quranic Hijab by Muftiya Nasima

Our sisters in the West face a disproportionate requirement to represent Islamic identity in the public space, coupled with the need to work and travel in public spaces that are less safe for women than men. This leads to a natural concern for muslims sisters in what iterations of hijab are acceptable within the boundaries of the sharia. We hope to prove Yaqeen to Muslim sisters by providing a walk through the actual process of deriving the obligation of Hijab.

Muftiya Nasima will cover:

i- Source text (Quran) with the most reliable exegetes (Tabari, Qurtubi and Zamakhshari) and linguistic a breakdown from Lisaan al Arab)

ii- A cross-madhab explanation of all possible modes of hijab that can be acceptable to give sisters the ambit if acceptability due to real circumstances they face disproportionately to men in expressing their Islamic identity through clothing.

iii- The spiritual foundation of hijab as a mindset like modesty, trust in Allah (swa), self worth and ranking of being a woman according to the Quran.

Any form of sustainable growth must work through the medium of personal development and sound family orientation. To form a model Islamic community in the the West, anything less than this will be a false economy.

During the time Mufti & Muftiya were carers, working and raising four children, they were both blessed with the tawfeeq to maintain themselves, extended family, and attained several ijazaat and several degrees while being active in the dawah in the community. The critical question isn’t to just ask "what did they study" rather it should be, "how did they do it as a family". This and more will be imparted from their collective knowledge, wisdom and lived experience to you and your family.

Seeking knowledge shouldn’t divide families, it should unite them, this is why family is at the centre of this educational experience.
