HUGE Ramadan Gift: Abdullah Hakim Quick Joins AlMaghrib

Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef excitedly announced:


"Allahu akbar!

This annoucement for me is like when your local sports team announces that one of the greatest players in the game is now going to be wearing your jersey. (My heart is beating fast right now with excitment)

When I was very young, little kid in a Masjid in Winnipeg, the uncles gathered the youth together for a lecture from this vising speaker from Toronto. I loved his lecture, and I was so impressed that he was using names and terms that I, as a kid, was familiar with. (come to think of it, that may be the first time I was exposed to that style, it became my style years later). It was sh.Abdullah Hakim Quick.

Recently, I've been to a half dozen or so conferences with sh.Abdullah Hakim Quick was also one of the speakers. I find that when there is a crowded room at these conferences and you are looking for someone familiar, someone comfortable, someone you know you can enjoy your evening sitting beside and discussing things with ... I will always gravitate to sh.Abdullah Hakim Quick (and alhamdulillah, I hope I've read it correctly, he also enjoys my company in the same way. At least I hope so, lol.)

Here is his bio:

Abdullah Hakim Quick was born in the United States and accepted Islam in Canada in 1970. He graduated from the College of Da‘wah and Usul al-Din at the Islamic University of Medina in 1979. He obtained an M.A. and a PhD in African history at the University of Toronto, where he examined the life of the West African scholar and social activist, Usman Dan Fodio A. H. Quick has been a teacher and counsellor in Canada, the United States, and the West Indies. He has travelled to more than 55 countries around the world teaching and doing research.

Currently, he is Senior Lecturer at The True Dawn Institute and a member of the Muslim Judicial Council. He is also Director of the Discover Islam Centre in Cape Town, South Africa



You have seen him on TV: Islam channel, Huda TV, Peace TV.
You have seen him in conferences the world over: Canada, USA, UK, Dr.Zakir's conference in India, Australia.

And now, you will get to learn from him from the comfort of your AlMaghrib chairs!

Please join with me in giving the biggest ever welcome to your new AlMaghrib instructor: Sh.Abdullah Hakim Quick!

2 US for 2 UK Instructors

'Tis the season to introduce new instructors. With 2 UK instructors introduced already, we are excited to welcome 2 more from the US.


Dr. Ali Shehata will quickly take the title of one of AlMaghrib Institute's powerhouse instructors. Students will love his unique and well prepared presentations using traditional and modern resources. He studied under many scholars in the U.S and Egypt and currently practices medicine full-time as an Emergency and Family Medicine physician currently living in the Florida area. Dr. Ali, as he is known to many, has acquired ijaazahs in several core Islamic texts including al-Aqeedah al-Waasitiyah and The Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi among others. Dr. Ali brings a fresh perspective and flavor to the AlMaghrib scene.

Dr. Ali is scheduled to teach in Memphis inshaAllah.


Shaykh Shpendim Nadzaku has an intriguing name that roots back to an intriguing country reflecting his even more intriguing character. Born in 1973 to Albanian parents in the beautiful city of Ohrid Macedonia, his parents immigrated to America when he was just a year old. He was raised in New Jersey and soon took to the University of Madina where he graduated from the College of Shariah in 2001. His passion for the Arabic language made him one of my main sources of translating Arabic classical texts to English, especially poetry. He is currently the Imam/Religious Director with the Muslim Association of Greater Rockford and is currently an MBA student at Rockford College. With his spectacular smile, outstanding teaching skills and down-to-Earth character, Shaykh Shpendim brings a fresh style of learning to the AlMaghrib classrooms.

Since his introduction, Shaykh Shpendim taught in New York City and is scheduled to soon teach in Atlanta and Columbus, inshaAllah.

UK Instructors Add Spice and Flavor (flavour in this case)

The UK continues to shock us with their overwhelming sold out seminars, fantastic hospitality, and bewildering performance in Da'wah, masha Allah. It is then not surprising that the UK presents us with two new powerhouse instructors to add spice and flavour to the AlMaghrib Instructor Family!


Shaykh Abu Eesa Niamatullah truly does add a new flavour with his unique and engaging personality. Abu Eesa completed his higher education in London and studied Arabic, Islamic Law and the Qur'an in Mauritania, Medina, Morocco, Egypt and Pakistan. His main teacher remains Sheikh Kehlan al-Jubury with whom he still continues his studies in Islamic Law and Exegesis. He has also studied Hadith under the Hadith Expert Abdullah al-Judai. He has also been involved in various efforts to standardise the use of Islamic Finance principles amongst Western Muslims. He is a member of the C-100, a World Economic Forum (WEF) Initiative. He is of the religious leaders annually invited to Davos, the WEF Annual Meeting in Switzerland.

He is currently scheduled to teach in Toronto, Birmingham and London (UK) with an already sold out class.


Shaykh Ahsan Hanif hails from Birmingham, UK and is the currently one of the Imams and Khateebs of Green Lane Masjid. In 2000, He gained a scholarship to enter the Islamic University of Madinah. After completing his Arabic diploma, he graduated from the Faculty of Shari'ah in 2006 with honours. During his time in Madinah, he was fortunate enough to gain ijazah in the Qur'an as well as study under a number of well known scholars, such as Sh. Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad, Sh. Muhammad ibn Muhammad Mukhtar al-Shinqiti, Sh. Sulayman al-Ruhayli and many more. Powered as a DiscoverU LifeCoach, he is also pursuing his PhD at the University of Birmingham.

He is currently scheduled to teach in Ottawa.

AlMaghrib HQ's philosophy is to continue to reward outstanding Dawah workers. To give the knowledge to those who value and promote it the most.

No doubt that since UK Qabaa'ils came on board, they totally rocked the house and even motivated many of our existing Qabaa'ils in the U.S/Canada, ma sha Allah. They deserved the Liwaa and they deserve a lot more:

In 2009, IlmWeek with the cooperation of Shams, Mass and Fawz is coming to the U.K, in sha Allah tala.

Alhamdulilah! IlmWeek in Toronto was an astounding success, masha'allah. 229 dedicated students committed to 10 hours of intensive learning daily for full 5 days.

Canadian Instructors Begin to Take Over

The nation up North has begun to stretch its muscles from coast to coast. AlMaghrib Institute proudly introduced three Canadian instructors earlier this year that have taken our Canadian Qaba'il by storm.


Vancouver embraces a gem and a powerhouse instructor, Dr. Reda Bedeir. After completing his Bachelors and Masters in Arabic, Dr. Reda did a double Ph.D from Al-Azhar University, one of which is entirely on Surat Yusuf. Carrying a lifetime-worth of achievements, Dr. Reda has served many positions such as UN Interpretor/Translator and Associate Professor at Al-Azhar University; he also authored many researches and papers, and has translated numerous books. Since joining AlMaghrib, Dr. Reda wowed students in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and will soon teach in London (Ontario), Edmonton and Bradford (UK) inshaAllah.


Prior to introducing Shaykh Navaid Aziz as our new instructor, a lot of students of knowledge have been anticipating this news and following his career throughout his time in Madina University. For those who don't know, Sh Navaid was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. He has a degree in Commerce from a Western University, and then he got accepted to and graduated from Madinah University. Since his official introduction, Navaid Aziz has taught students in Ottawa and Windsor and is scheduled to soon teach in Montreal, Calgary and Birmingham (UK) inshaAllah.


Shaykh Abdurrahman Al-Hejazy hails from the home of AlMaghrib HQ and the home of Shaykh Muhammad Alshareef in Ottawa. The two shaykhs share a pleasant history in College Park, Maryland where they shared the Imam position for Taraweeh. They both made the move to Ottawa where Sh Abdurrahman held one of the most prominent Imam positions in the country while completing his Ph.D at Carleton University. He rocked the community with a weekly halaqa that attracted 600+ Muslims to the masjid consistently. Since he joined us, Sh Abdurrahman has taught in Toronto and Windsor and is scheduled to soon teach in Calgary inshaAllah.
