Ilm Summit 2008 APPLICATION

FROM Sh YASIR QADHI, Dean of Academic Affairs

Salaam Alaikum

Well, here it is guys:

http://almaghrib.org/summit/


PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

1) Make sure your e-mail address is absolutely correct; this is the primary way we will be contacting you.

2) Do NOT apply if you do not seriously think you have the time or required enthusiasm to be a student at IlmSummit. In other words, don't have a 'Let's see if I can get in and if I do we'll figure out if I can go or not' attitude. To pull out after you've been accepted is a major waste of all of our times and resources; to be honest it shows you are not serious in the first place (obviously family emergencies, etc., that appear are a different matter).

3) Please DO apply if you have the time and energy but are worried about finances. We are accepting students based on merit, not money. Hence there are no empty blanks to fill out on this form regarding money issues. Once you get in, we will try our best to see if you can get a scholarship, either from us or other resources. But do realize that the maximum amount of scholarship we can give is around 30 to 40 % of the price; hence you're still looking at some amount.

4) There will be a waiting list of acceptees as well. If for some reason someone cannot make it and cancels, we will admit the next person on the list, and move down, until all 100 slots are filled up.

5) If a husband/spouse are applying together, PLEASE mention the spouse's name in the final slot; otherwise we have no way of pairing up acceptees.

6) There are NO requirements for tazkiya letters, but if you want to mention specific teachers/Imams that you've studied with you may mention them in the last section.

Any other questions regarding the process? Here's the place to post them...

DEADLINE: 30th MAY , 2008

Note: Please apply as soon as possible if you are serious about attending, as we will start sifting thru these applications on a weekly basis. We hope to announce the initial list within the first weeks of June, after which an immediate deposit amount will be required.

Bismillah:

Assalamu Alaikom wa Rahmatullah,

I have a question about the acceptance to IlmSummit. I missed two of my exams before for a family circumstances. Is it still possible for me to be accepted to the Program?
I can get a letter form our Ameerah supporting what I say and also from other individuals such as our local imam supporting my statement and assuring that I am a sincere student of knowledge. That being said, is there a chance of me being accepted or should I not waste the time of dedicated people working to make IlmSummit a success?

Jazzakom Allahu Khair. Awaiting your response as soon as possible.

Assalamalaikum,

I am a new muslim sister and married. I have been a muslim for 1 year alhumdullilah and in this time have heard many lectures from different orators/scholars. I was wondering what criteria applies to new muslims ? I am very keen on learning deeper and deeper about Islam.

I also heard that a married woman cannot travel without her husband ? Is this true ? because my husband will not be able to accompany me on this trip if I am accepted at all inshAllah.

Kindly let me know.
