When people choose a Hajj package they usually only look for one thing: PRICE. That’s a mistake because Hajj is so complex, with so many things attached to a package (like food or no food, better or worse hotel, distance of hotel, length of stay, etc.), that price can easily be manipulated if many important and essential extras are taken out.

5 things you should look for when choosing a Hajj package:

1. Who’s the Shaykh that’s coming with the group? Is it someone you trust? (Note: If the group doesn’t even mention the name of the Hajj Shaykh, they are probably not putting enough effort in this category)

2. When is departure after Hajj? If it is immediate, as soon as Hajj is over, then that ‘might’ be too stressful for you. Better to stay a day or two after Hajj to recover, if your schedule permits.

3. Does the Hajj group care to educate you about Hajj BEFORE you depart for Hajj? Most groups do nothing of the sort, and that’s a crying shame because by the time you depart, things will happen so fast that you would have wished they paid more attention to the education part.

4. How long will you be in Makkah or Madinah? Typically, you’ll either be in Madinah 1 week, or half a week. Decide which one you would prefer.

And the number 1 thing you should look for in a Hajj package is…

5. COMPANIONSHIP! Who is going to accompany you in this group. Are they righteous, blessed attitude people — or are they people you’ve never met before? Choose wisely, because companionship is THE most important thing to make your Hajj a truly spiritual journey.

Muzzamill, Mudathir, Mulk, Qalam – these surahs contain some of the very first ayat to be revealed to the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and are filled with strong words of engouragement, warning, and advice to the newly formed ummah of Muslims in Makkah. Though seemingly insignificant in terms of their legnth, these suwar held within them the ingredients which cultivated the faith, hope, and determination that drove the Sahabah – radi Allahu anhum – to become the greatest community of humans to ever walk the earth.

What is so special about the this ju’z? What is Allah telling us?

Dear Seeker of Truth,

I’d like you to take a moment and contemplate what the Qur’an means to you. You’ve asked yourself this question many times before, but let’s make today different. Today is the day you are going to take a cold, hard look at the facts. Look in the mirror. What is it that you see? A person who has fallen short in their commitment to the book of Allah? Or an ‘abd of Allah who wants to seize the opportunity to come close to the Words of his Creator?

Let me explain.

In Surah Ale Imran, verse 103, Allah refers to the Qur’an as His rope. Why? Simple. It is a miracle of miracles, the link between the Creator and His servants, the guide to our salvation and a healing for body, mind, and soul.

And hold firmly to the rope of Allah, and be not divided, and remember His blessings upon you!” [3: 103]

TIGHTEN YOUR GRIP ON THE ROPE OF ALLAH

Spend 2 full weekends with Dr. Reda Bedeir uncovering the ways in which the Qur’an is the ultimate guide in our journey to the Hereafter. From the barakah of Surah Mulk to the descriptions of the Last Day in Surah Qiyamah and Haaqah Tafseer Juz Tabarak is sure to be an eye-opening, heart-softening experience.

“The fuel of revelation reaches him, and gives glad tidings to his heart…”

• Ibn ul-Qayyim

Masha Allah, the Shaykh is amazing! I haven’t heard someone speak with such inspiration in a long time. His knowledge is amazing; he quotes an ayah or hadith to explain a concept. He has a way to get to the heart. Masha Allah. He is unique, with his own style.”
Student, Ottawa

This is your opportunity to…

• Lighten the burden on your heart by giving your heart the happiness it deserves.
• Put the whispering in your head to rest.
• Be the servant of Allah you know you can be!
• Open your heart to the Words of your Creator….
• Finally, become a companion of the Qur’aan.

“When I attended the seminar, I had no idea what to expect as I have not heard of Dr.Reda before. Within one or two minutes, I was blown away by the Shaykh’s teaching style. The beautiful Quranic recitations to the humorous stories left me in awe of him and I pray to Allah that I will be able to learn from him.”
Student, Ottawa

“He is supercalafragalishzexpialadocious! I don’t remember having du’a made for me so much in a short time period except in Taraweeh!
SHAYKH REDA ROCKSSS! Masha Allah, TabarakAllah!”
Student, Ottawa

Open the doors to your understanding of why the Hereafter is a main theme in Juz Tabarak. Attending this seminar will allow you to:

• Comprehend the reality of the Life to come.

… visualize the beauties of Paradise,  the horror of the Fire and the Day of Judgment.

Verily this (Qur’an) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord. [76:29]

There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence. This is not a narration which has been invented but confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe. (Surah Yusuf, 111)

It is a Surah most requested on the nights of tahajjud by the young men who seek to learn from the wisdom of one who has strived as they strive to stay pure of sin.
It is a Surah most referred to by those who study the interpretations of dreams and marveled at through the extraordinary gifts of Allah SWT to this one man.
It is a Surah for those who seek beauty, and realize the beauty contained therein.

Surah Yusuf is the story that has fascinated generations of Muslims for hundreds of years.  

→  It has garnered tears, like those of the noble patriarch who so dearly loved his son. 

→  It has reminded many in confined situations to glorify the favors of their Creator despite and during all tribulations.  

→  It has spoken to brothers, sons, fathers on the value of maintaining familial ties, the ties that bind.   

→  It has warned women on the dangers of being like “the female companions of Yusuf”, those that were so vain and so sinful, that their conduct created havoc and mischief. 

“It was a spiritually-reviving journey into the lives of some of the many great figures in Islam. SubhanAllah! This seminar made me rethink my purpose in this world and helped me make the most important decision in my life! Alhamdulillah! Allah SWT showers his blessings in so many ways and I think the most-wanted one I was wishing for came through AlMaghrib!”
-Nihla Zarook 

Torch Bearers was truly a GEM packed seminar, mashaAllaah! Not only did Shaykh Saed fill the class with laughter, but also helped us reflect and contemplate as students of knowledge. I’m so positive, next class with Shaykh Saed will be even better, bi’idhnillaah!
-Umm Hurayrah 

MashAllah, Sh. Saed is one of a kind! Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him will notice his ability to make one appreciate and value the knowledge that’s gained. Alhamdulillah, we are truly blessed to have him again for Surat Yusuf.
- Bint Saleem
