Episode 13 of Flames of Fitnah - exploring Imām al-Bukhārī’s Kitāb al-Fitan in Brisbane!

3 Muslim Heroes of San Diego A powerful khutbah reflecting on the lives of three believers who returned to Allah as martyrs following the recent shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center.Beyond the headlines were men of sincerity, service, and faith — remembered for their character, their devotion to the masjid, and the quiet goodness they carried in their lives. Dr Zohair advocates strongly for the need of the Muslim community build a strong media and legal arm as we are constantly being confronted with such violent Islamophobia.Drawing parallels with the Seerah and how the Prophet (SAW) demonstrated the importance of owning the narrative and responding to propaganda - we are reminded of the important task at hand. May Allah accept Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nadir Awad amongst the shuhadā’, envelop them in His mercy, expand their graves with light, and reunite them with the righteous in Jannatul Firdaus.May He grant patience and strength to their loved ones, and protect our communities from hatred, injustice, and violence.

Episode 4 of Flames of Fitnah - exploring Imām al-Bukhārī’s Kitāb al-Fitan

This week, as we continue Kitāb al-Fitan, we turn to a critical topic:Rebellion. Khurūj. Obedience to rulers.Voices are rising. Emotions are high. And without Prophetic guidance, the lines start to blur…“Is obedience to rulers unconditional?”“Is opposing the ruler rebellion?”“Where is the line between principled political resistance… and reckless chaos that destroys more than it reforms?”These are not distant questions.They are urgent, unfolding before us in real time — especially as we witness the pain of Palestine, and confront the complicity of our governments. 🇵🇸 This is a conversation we cannot afford to avoid.

Episode 2 of Flames of Fitnah - exploring Imām al-Bukhārī’s Kitāb al-Fitan in Brisbane!

When truth blurs, voices clash, and the world feels unsteady — where do you turn?We return to the timeless guidance of the Prophet ﷺ. Step into Imām al-Bukhārī’s Kitāb al-Fitan — where every narration cuts through the noise, anchoring you with clarity, conviction, and direction in times of trial.

CLOSEST CONNECTIONS FINALE‼️What if your entry into Jannah… was delayed—or even denied—because of how you treated those next door?🏘️The Prophet ﷺ emphasised good treatment of neighbours again and again… so much so that the Companions thought they would be given a share of inheritance! Yet today, we can live side by side for years, without knowing their names, their struggles, or their rights over us. 💔This session is a wake-up call. Join us for the final session on Adab Al Mufrad, as Ustadh Zareef uncovers:• The collection of Hadith on our weighty responsibility to our neighbours• Practical ways to live this teaching daily • How conduct with your neighbours could be a path to Paradise… or a prevention from it

In the next chapter of Adab al-Mufrad, we turn to one of the weightiest trusts Allah places in our hands: our children. Will your parenting be a means to Allah’s mercy? Or a neglected amanah you will be held to account for?

Imam al-Bukhari begins with a powerful opening: the virtues of daughters. Discover how these teachings reshape an entire ummah’s understanding of girls and women. ❤️

A class for parents, future parents, and all of us entrusted with guiding the next generation.

Your family ties aren’t random — they’re connected to Allah Ar-Raḥmān Himself.

A means to Jannah.

A cause for increased provision.

A test of who you really are.

But what does it actually look like to maintain them in real life? What is the difference between true connection and simple reciprocation? How do we navigate difficulty in family relationships?

Join us as we unpack the depth of silat ar-raḥim — beyond culture, beyond assumptions.

Our parents hold a station unlike any other — their love, sacrifice, and guidance shape our very lives. This Faith Circle class draws from Al-Adab Al-Mufrad to explore the unmatched virtues of mothers, the weighty station of fathers, and the delicate balance of our obligations toward them. ⚖️ 💙Discover:

• How did the Prophet ﷺ expound on the virtues of the parents?
• ⁠What can we do to honour our parents in everyday life?
• ⁠How do we maintain goodness to them, even after they have passed?

These Ḥadīth guide us through the weighty obligation of Birr al-Wālidayn — a sacred responsibility that carries the lays the path for the ultimate reward of Paradise. 🌹⛲️

Part 3 – Salahuddin👑

The Final

Last week we learnt from Ustadh Zareef that to liberate our holy lands, each of us has a part to play 🌍✨. Our role begins with creating and fostering an environment that inspires the ummah—guiding and nurturing our future generations 🌱.

After the Qadr of Allah ﷻ, Salahuddin did not liberate Al-Quds alone, but with an ummah that shared his vision. 🤝

And this week, from Ustadh Saarim:

Salahuddin’s consolidation of power in Egypt and Syria, the Battle of Hittin ⚔️—the beginning of the end—and the continued struggle for the Holy Land. 🕌🇵🇸

Ustadh Zareef will take us through a session aimed at the heart of what true revival looks like.👑

This time, we explore:

• Fractured but Rebuilding: the ummah in Salahuddin’s youth - divided, strained, yet quietly preparing for a turning point.

• Driven by Purpose: the sincerity and depth of those who shaped him and walked with him.

• Cancel Culture? Would we have handed Salahuddin the reins of leadership today, or are we so quick to judge and would dismiss him before his rise?

• Practical Action: the steps we can take now to nurture a generation capable of unifying, healing, and uplifting the ummah.

This isn’t just a class - it’s a call to reflection and responsibility.

We begin our new mini-series on Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi — the liberator of Jerusalem

Why study history? When we trace the rise and fall of nations, the character of leaders, patterns of victory and defeat, and how Allah’s decree unfolds across time — we are reflecting on the āyāt kawniyyah: signs of Allah written in the world and in the events that shaped our Ummah.

•⁠ ⁠The Virtues of the Holy Land: reconnecting our hearts to Palestine, Jerusalem, and Masjid Al-Aqsa

•⁠ ⁠The First Crusade

•⁠ ⁠The Zengid Dynasty: The spark and preparation that paved the way for Salahuddin’s rise

Jumuah khutba 14 Nov 2025

New Series! Quran Cover-to-Cover!

In this introductory session, we discuss:

• What it means to become a Companion of the Qur’an

• The Power of the Qur’an on the Human Heart ❤️

• Principles of Tadabbur al-Qur’an (deep reflection)

• The theory of Maqāṣid Suwar (the objectives of each Sūrah)

Part 3 of 3. Last time, we explored the wisdom of avoiding discord over valid differences of opinion in acts of ʿIbādah. This week, Imam Uzair dives into the rest of the Departments in detail

How do we respond to the most recent ceasefire by drawing lessons from the Battle of the Trench and the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah? What does activism look like in Islam, and three guiding principles of sacred activism as we move forward in our efforts for a free Palestine

When injustice becomes constant, resistance must become louder.

This week marks the 77th anniversary of the Nakba. As the genocide in Palestine continues with unbearable brutality, many are starting to feel numb. Outrage fades. The news becomes routine. But as the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ, we cannot allow ourselves to grow used to this.

This isn’t just a humanitarian crisis — it’s a spiritual test. How do we hold on to taqwa in an age of injustice? How do we turn heartbreak into action? 💔

Join Shaykh Mohammad Elshinawy for a vital evening that connects our inner state with our outward duty. True social justice begins with the soul - a heart anchored in love of Allah, and a life shaped by purpose.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• How spirituality sustains consistent and courageous action

• Rethinking ‘ibādah: why social justice and political activism are forms of worship.

• How we, as individuals and a global community, can respond meaningfully to injustice — with both heart and action
