“Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come!"
- Mevlana Rumi

About:
Surah al-Fatihah is probably the most important surah that a Muslim needs to learn. We have to recite it during our prayers everyday, without which our prayers will be invalid. But what are the secrets to each verse and manner in which it was arranged? How do we understand it enough so that we can better appreciate the surah – which leads to better concentration during our prayers?
Further, what are the significance of the “Three Shelters” or the Three Quls? Let’s discover this together in this important course.
Content:
We will breakdown surah Al-Fatihah, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas into digestible portions to understand them in detail. We will also discuss the merits of each surah for our personal protection.

Start: 14 August 2016 - 4 September 2016. Registration is now OPEN!
Class Code: MBH
About:
At some point, all of us have been subjected to some form of pain and broken-heartedness. Sometimes the pattern repeats itself. This course will assist students in discovering why this pattern sometimes repeats itself. Based on 2 popular books: “La Tahzan” (Don’t Be Sad) and “Reclaim Your Heart”, it aims to provide a lens through which we can see ourselves, and a better perspective of how we can strive to achieve both true love and happiness in this life so that we can reap true benefits in the hereafter. This course will provide a cathartic and life-changing experience in our mutual journey of love and peace!
Content:
Firstly, we will be guided on how to remain positive in life despite challenges – and to see the role of such challenges in our lives. This will help to provide a very self-introspective exercise of knowing our own selves before embarking on some prophetic guidance of how to achieve true happiness and love.
