Union of Souls Seminar

Assalaamu’alaykum everyone,

From the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ), we see how marriage in Islam is more than just a formal agreement between two individuals. Rather, it is a union of two souls connected through their mutual love of Allah (ﷻ) and the Prophet(ﷺ). This spiritual bond not only nurtures the marriage but also brings both individuals closer to their Lord.

Whether you are already married or looking to get married, this program will grant deep insight into what Islam teaches us about spiritual intimacy and marriage.

Shaykh Riad Saloojee will be leading this program. It will be hosted by the Majlis of Istanbul Muslims from 5-8pm, Istanbul-time.

It is expected to be broadcast on their Instagram channel: https://www.instagram.com/majlisim?igsh=OWMwajMwNGRtd24w

Barak Allahu fikum.

Book Release - Digital Deceptions

Assalaamu’alaykum everyone,

We pray that you are well, by Allah’s grace.

Today, digital applications are ubiquitous. Have we stopped to ask what are the benefits and harms of these devices? As we spend more and more time on our screens, what does this mean for us spiritually, psychologically, socially and even physically? Knowing the answers to these questions can help us make better choices.

Dr. Amir Abdelzaher, the Head of Academics at the Suhba Seminary, has recently co-authored a work on smart digital choices in our modern times.
