Elite
A Study of Ahadith on Attaining Excellence
Rasulullah ﷺ never taught us to just get by. He taught us how to be the best.
Limited seats per city
Most of us are coasting by.
We pray, we fast, we give a little when we can, and we tell ourselves that's "enough."
But Rasulullah ﷺ didn't come to teach us how to just get by. He ﷺ came to show us how to be the best versions of ourselves.
The difference between wanting the bare minimum and the peak of the hereafter is the difference between Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه and the rest of us. It's the difference between the believer who just shows up and the believer who excels.
The Prophet ﷺ wanted excellence for you. He wanted you to be the best of your generation just as his Companions were the best of theirs.
So if you've ever wondered what that actually looks like in real, practical, "I can do this right now" terms this class is for you.
Across the hadith literature, the Prophet ﷺ returned to one phrase over and over. Each time, a different doorway to success:
Every one of these statements is a doorway. Walk through enough of them, and you'll find yourself living a completely different life.

To collect ahadith on the virtues of good deeds is easy. There are thousands of them.
But to identify the very best of them all the foremost, the greatest, the most beloved to Allah ﷻ across every category of life? That's something else entirely.
That's a lifetime of study. Narration by narration, weighing the chains, balancing the wordings understanding how the Prophet ﷺ would sometimes name this act the best, and at another moment name that one the best, and how to make sense of it all.
That's what Shaykh Abu Eesa has done with Elite. In one weekend, you will explore each of those narrations under his tutelage.
The entire prophetic roadmap to ihsan
Across a careful selection of ahadith, covered in one focused weekend.
The best of speech, and the best of guidance.
The best of faith and what destroys it.
The best of supplications, and how to actually be heard.
The best prayer: the best time, the best place, and what most of us get wrong.
The best of people, from the Prophet ﷺ to his Companions to the everyday believer.
The best characteristics to develop and the warning signs to watch for in yourself.
The best migration and no, it has nothing to do with packing a suitcase.
The best dhikr, charity, fast, Hajj, and knowledge.
…and so much more.
Students don't forget his classes.
