For over 1,200 years, scholars have studied, narrated, and transformed their lives through Sahih Al-Bukhari.
This August, you will join that blessed chain, in sha Allah!
Connect yourself to a chain of knowledge linking you all the way back to the Prophet ﷺ through the most authentic collection of his ahadith.
Over seven days, you’ll cover select books from the Sahih, including:
With exclusive guidance and insight from expert instructors joining you for a week of knowledge and memories!
The best part about IlmSummit, is the time you get to spend with the instructors. From Fajr, till Isha’ you are going to be constantly surrounded by and in the company of the ‘ulema.
He currently serves as Head of the Department of Fiqh at Knowledge International University and has taught extensively across the globe through universities, mosques, conferences, and media platforms. Shaykh Dr. Sajid has played a key role in curriculum development, authored works in Arabic and English, and advised major Islamic institutions and finance bodies worldwide.
Start your day with the hum of adhkar and circles of Quran as you witness the sun rise over the quaint and cozy British country manor you’ll call home for the week.
By breakfast, you won’t just hear the birds chirping, but the sound of children running around excited for the day ahead, and what a day it is!
While the kids are off on adventures packed with arts, crafts, sports, and storytelling, you’ll spend the day immersed in the hadith of Rasulullah ﷺ, covering everything from Aqidah to Tazkiyah and more!
Unwinding over table tennis or snooker in the hotel lounge, taking a dip in the pool after hours…
And that’s when you hear about Shaykh Waleed’s impromptu halaqa, or the sisters’ games night in the hall.
That’s what an average day at IlmSummit looks like, and we haven’t even gotten to the group outings!
With all meals included and spaces for games and recreation, you will have everything you could possibly want in one place for this incredible week!
IlmSummit isn’t a series of lectures,
It’s a tight-knit communal learning experience where you bond with a community of like-minded students from around the country and beyond coming together for activities and social experiences in between that makes this retreat one of a kind…
This is also our first ever IlmSummit with a dedicated children’s program, on top of the learning experience!
