AlMaghrib Institute is pleased to annouce our second Canadian based double-weekend instructor: Shaykh Riad Ouarzazi!

Here's an introduction, coming to an AlMaghrib Qabeelah near you, in sha Allah:

Riad Ouarzazi was born in Casablanca, Morocco (i.e. the first AlMaghrib instructor from AlMaghrib! :)) and, after achieving Islamic education degrees from M. Abdullah University, moved to the States in 1988, where he pursued a BA in International Management and a Masters of Science in Computer Information Systems.

He was very active in the da'wah work and acted as the Media coordinator for the Islamic society of San Francisco.

He studied the Islamic Creed under Sheikh Waleed Basyouni, and Fiqh under Sheikh Waleed Idrees both of whom are teachers at the American Open Univeristy.

He moved to Canada in 2001 and became quite active in the Islamic work, conducting lectures and khutbas in several masjids in the GTA.

Currently he is concentrating on the science of Hadeeth.

Here's the juicy stuff:

I wanted to give my feedback on the Chain of Command
seminar. That was one of the best classes I have taken so far and Shaykh AbdulBary Yayah is an excellent teacher and would love to see him back again. The location was good as well as the arrangements for snacks and potluck lunch.

Upcoming New Thematic Tafseer Seminar

In sha Allah, we will be launching our final installment of our Tafseer seminars. Thematic Tafseer, which revolves around around theme based tafseer.

What is meant by theme based Tafseer?
For example, you take a topic like, "Money", then you go through the entire Quran tracing the different verses that speak about money. Some of those verses might praise those who give it for the sake of Allah, other verses might condemn those who spend their lives collecting and counting it. In the end ... you get one fantastic seminar!!! In sha Allah.

Shaykh Yaser Birjas (hafidhahullah) will be teaching this seminar in November 07, in sha Allah.
