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.
This time goes beyond just knowledge, from general chit-chat, to questions and answers, to having the ability to speak to them 1 on 1, as well as have fun and games – this ONLY happens at IlmSummit.
Shaykh Waleed is the president of AlMaghrib and one of the senior scholars of the Western world. His tafseer classes always stand out for their depth, level of detail, as well as the amount of other sciences that he brings to his tafseers; theology, fiqh, hadith, and stories! With a passion for studying the biographies of the scholars, Shaykh Waleed is a trove of unique stories from our ummah that will leave you inspired and proud.
The gem of the United States who will be coming to the UK for the first time. Shaykh Yaser is one of AlMaghrib (and America’s) most beloved teachers due to what he combines of knowledge, character, and manners. With an engineer’s mind and the training of a jurist, shaykh Yaser has the ability to break down big subjects and concepts into courses that stay with students for years. His sessions on The history of the Quran are definitely one’s you are not going to want to miss!
The teacher and the poet. Shaykh Ammar has taught the art of contemplating the Quran and is currently preparing the launch of a new AlMaghrib seminar the Tafsir of Juz Amma. Known for his unique storytelling ability, tying in reflections on Dua and Dhikr in every class, as well as dropping heavy poetic bars on cue… you’ll be sure to have a memorable experience in his class.
Shaykh Abu Eesa is one of AlMaghrib’s senior scholars who brings together a wide variety of disciplines all packaged in his unique British dry humor. For years, people anxiously await his renowned ART written series (Alternative. Random. Tadabbur) after which he launched an extremely popular class with the same name. Studying tadabbur with Shaykh Abu Eesa at Ilmsummit will give you the tools to contemplate the Quran in a way that you’ve never done before.

In These 7 Days We
Will Dig Deep Into The Following Topics...
The Quran
Explained
Sh Yaser Birjas
Join Shaykh Yaser Birjas for a week-long study of the Quran’s miraculous history, with daily sessions exploring its revelation throughout the seerah, its preservation, different styles of recitation, methods of tafsir, and the history of Quranic translation. This day is all about becoming intimately acquainted with how the Quran reached us, how its sciences developed, and ultimately strengthening your conviction in Allah’s word. It’s a dynamic blend of academic study and tazkiyah.
Ta’weel VS Tafsir
& Giants Of Quranic Sciences
Sh Waleed Basyouni
What separates interpretation from explanation of the Quran? How do we know when an interpretation is valid or halal? That’s what Shaykh Waleed will take us through in a closed study of select verses of the Quran.
Part of appreciating the Quranic sciences is getting to know the scholars of the Quran, their lives, sacrifices, and legacies for the sake of Allah and His book. That is why he will be taking us through the biographies of some of the major scholars of the Quran, and the inspiration we can find in their examples.
Tafsir Surah al Hujurat
Sh Ammar Alshukry
With this being the first IlmSummit post-covid, reconnecting is a crucial part of the program. That’s why Shaykh Ammar is dedicating his day to the Tafsir of a Surah all about community building. Together we will explore the history behind the surah, it’s timeless principles, and how to apply them in our relationships within our families and communities today.
IlmSummit Exclusive [A.R.T]
Sh Abu Eesa
Shaykh Abu Eesa has developed an day-long, IlmSummit exclusive version of his renowned seminar on the art of reflection, covering new verses, and diving deeper into the methods and techniques of tadabbur. This is unlike any other reflection sort of course, this digs deeper, and challenges you to think about the kalam of Allah from a different light. Sh Abu Eesa has tried and tested this around the globe, and now it’s inclusively inside IlmSummit.
Why Do People
LOVE IlmSummit?
Wake up to pray Fajr in a stunning Manor House with over a hundred other students of knowledge, and your AlMaghrib instructors..
Grab a cup of coffee and class is immediately in session, welcoming a gorgeous summer day infused with Quran recitation and tajweed.
And what a jam packed day it is!
Learning about the Quran by studying a dazzling array of subjects from the history of its compilation to guidelines of contemplation, to tafseer of select chapters, to biographies of some of the greatest scholars of the Quran.
All inclusive breakfast, lunch and dinner, means you never have to go anywhere; continuing to bond with your classmates and instructors.
By every evening you’ll head back to your room experiencing exhaustion in the best way possible; one that comes from having spent a day in complete immersion of ilm.
Only for you to hear that Shaykh Waleed is giving a bonus lecture in a lounge at midnight and everyone is there…
Or that the instructors are having a **very** competitive game of ping pong… Or that a student lead tahajjud is starting in a few hours.
