It started with one person's conviction. At 27, Sh. Muhammad Alshareef (raḥimahullāh) founded AlMaghrib and changed how Islam was taught in the West.
“Excellence does not happen by accident. You must design it.”Sh. Muhammad Alshareef (raḥimahullāh)
He built every course to the standard of iḥsān. More than twenty years on, the mission hasn't changed: authentic, balanced knowledge from scholars you can trust, in a way that fits your life. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and surplus funds go to scholarships and free seats.
