"The first thing that will be lost from your religion is trust, and the last thing to be lost will be the Prayer. You will see people from amongst you praying, but they will receive no reward for it."
- Hadith collected by Al-Baihaqi

"Mashallah, I loved this class! When I heard about this class I thought to myself this is definately the class for me! I've taken three AlMaghrib classes and I must say that this one had the biggest impact on me. This class increased my involvement with the quran. I started reading more tafsir and memorizing the quran more. Muhammed Faqih was a wonderful teacher. He made the experience of learning about the quran very entertaining. He even had a special session on tips to memorize the quran!"

"If there is a seminar that will motivate you to pick up the Qur'an and start memorizing, Route 114 is definitely that course. After taking this class, my appreciation and love for the Quran has skyrocketed. This class shows you that all of that worldly stuff we spend time doing have no benefit, and that the benefit in memorizing the Quran amounts to no other. And it's nice that Sh. Muhammad Faqih adds some humour here and there. "

"I love this class very much; it made feel that the quran is my best friend. I almost cried when the sheikh talked about in the Madina University the sheikhs would have Ijaza, that mentions chain of their teachers and it goes back all the way to the prophet Mohammad sala allahu alayhi wasalam. Maasha allah you feel the connection right there. Alhamdulilah after taking the class we all took an action to memorize the quran as much as we can. Whenever I am reading the quran now, I feel like it is talking to me directly. "

"Uloomal Quran (The Sciences of the Quran) was my first Almaghrib class and is one I will always remember. This class truly helped me focus on the concept of having a personel connection with the Quran ...Alhamduililah. After taking Rizq Management and History of Khulafaa I still can't decide which one rocked the most. There is always something to be learned about in each class and as I've come to realize whatever one learned in previous Almaghrib class they are bound to build upon it in the next class. Lastly, I would recommend anyone to take this class if they have the opportunity for there is much to be gained in learning of the Kalaam(speech) of Allah."

"Masha'Allah, this has got to be one of the most exciting class we've had. 3 super teachers (Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Faqih, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi and Ustadh Mamdouh) to teach us. Alhamdulillah."

"Today's class was AMAZING, i really enjoyed it. Each one of the teachers was incredible and entertaining mashAllah. i'm so sad it's over, Inshallah there'll be another one soon."

"I recently was watching a video about the miracles of the Qur'an, and subhanAllah, the advanced sciences explained in it are so inspiring. Of course, it could only be from Allah SWT, but to once again experience the miracle of the Qur'an, it takes me back to Ustadh Muhammad's class. I wish I could take it again! "

"Its a class that every muslim MUST take.You cry because you see faults in yourself, in your charachter,and you smile because you know you can change it. You look at the ustaadh and he reflects what he teaches.Teacher and the subject are perfectly combined like a pearl in a shell. This class will transform you for better. "

"SubhanAllah, you can't even realize the benefit of this class until you take it. It's the kind of experience that makes you change right away (inshaa Allah), because it's relevent to every moment of your day; whether you are in salaat, at school, or talking to your family. The knowledge you gain will make you more aware of yourself, and the rights of those around you. Not to mention hearing all of the wonderful hadeeth will increase your love of our beloved Prophet (sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam) and the Sahaba (radi Allahu anhum). "

"This course itself is unbelievably awesome. Most people underestimate these types of courses, and they miss out on what they really needed. The lessons you learn from this course can totally turn a persons life around. "
- Omar khan, Montreal
"Although I've listened to numerous CDs/DVDs and attended several halaqahs/classes this class was different. It was educational as well as motivational. We walk out wanting to make a difference in our lives and in the world but we are also given the knowledge and the tools to do so. Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Faqih does an amazing job, barak Allahu fih wa fikum jami`an !! "

"If there is any class that I would like to take again and again and again after the History of Khulafa, it is Rules of Engagement. The class is sooooo awesome that words really can't describe the effect it has on you. EVERYONE needs to take this class. It will dramatically change your behaviour with every single human being, bi'dnillahi ta'ala. "
