This seminar aims to shed some light on issues which affect the muslims everyday living across Britain.  As the media machine has stepped up its campaign to darken the image of Islam, to portray it as a backward, inhumane religion that is incompatible with modern life, let us muslims wake up to take the initiative and equip ourselves with the knowledge to stand up in defence of our religion, as opposed to being apologetic muslims or even reject aspects of the Sharee’ah. (Au'thu billah). 

Confirmed Mashaa’ikh:

Shaykh Alee Hasan Al-Halabee (hafidhahullaah): The most distinguished of his teachers was Shaykh Al-Albaanee whom he met in 1977 with whom he studied “Ishkaalaat Al-Baa’ith al-Hatheeth” in 1981, as well as other books on the subject of Hadeeth and its Terminology, and then the linguistic scholar, Shaykh ‘Abdul-Wadood Az-Zaraaree, as well as other scholars.  He has Ijaazaat for religious subjects, generally and for Hadeeth specifically, from numerous scholars, such as Shaykh Badee’-ud-Deen As-Sindee, Shaykh Muhammad Ash-Shanqeetee and others.  Many scholars have praised him, such as: Shaykh Al-Albaanee, Shaykh Ibn Baaz and Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd.  He has participated in numerous conferences throughout the world and at various times and has numerous written works that have been translated into many other languages.

Shaykh Muhammad al-Maghraawee (hafidhahullaah): took from and studied with many Shaykhs, from them: Muhammad Taqee ad-Deen al-Hilaalee, Muhammad al-Ameen ash-Shinqeetee, ‘Abdul-’Azeez bin Baaz, Muhammad Naasir ad-Deen al-Albaanee, ‘Abdul-Muhsin al-’Abbaad, ‘Abdullah al-Ghunaimaan, Hammaad al-Ansaaree, Abu Bakr al-Jazaa’iree, ‘Abdul-Lateef Aal ‘Abdil-Lateef, ‘Abdus-Samad al-Kaatib, Naasir ar-Rasheed’ and others.  He studied in the Ibn Yoosuf Institute for Proper Education in Marrakech, then he studied in the University of Taa’if in Saudi, and he studied in the University of Al-Karaouine in Morocco: Qur’aanic exegesis, Hadeeth and creed.  He carried out preaching, teaching, and delivering lectures in the course of three decades in the mosques of Marrakech and in the widespread Qur’aan houses in the different regions of Morocco.  He established Jam’iyyah ad-Da’wah Ilaal-Qur’aan was-Sunnah bil-Maghrib and opened dozens of Qur’aan houses, which were—and have not ceased—having great virtue (after Allaah, glorified is He) in returning the people to Salafiyyah.  He has taken part in a number of international conferences in many countries and has numerous beneficial writings to his credit.
