To get hyped up for the second weekend of Rays of Faith, I decided to make a cake with my wife’s help for the instructor, Shaykh Waleed Basyouni, for when he came into town the next night. Here’s how it happened.

2008 seems to have seen its fair share of AlMaghrib Institute instructors coming to Chicago.

Sacred Scrolls was an awesome experience; in Chicago over 400 students and nationwide over 2000 students benefited from this class and combo of instructors in these past two weekends. Mixing both Imam Suhaib and the platform of AlMaghrib helped this seminar become the Islamic event of the summer.

Free Friday Night is on for Light Upon Light! If you’re planning on coming, here’s important some tips on directions, construction, timing, and parking. Oh and don’t forget to tell your family and friends to come, inshaAllah.

The idea of a going to an educational ground founded on meat patties wasn’t the only memorable part of the seminar, however.

June 13th is approaching. FAST. And many AlMaghrib students from Chicagoland and beyond may be wondering, “where is this next seminar with Yasir Qadhi going to be held???”

The answer to your question is here.
