Instructor:
Shaykh Abu Eesa Niamatullah
Total Attendees: 30 Students
Think back to all the times you’ve stood facing Allah in prayer. 10, 15, 20, even 30 years of salah! Now that should be impressive, but it’s not because while we can account for their number, what can we possibly say of their quality?
Now think about this. The first thing we will be questioned about on the Day of Judgement is our prayers. What will our excuse be? What will we have to fall back on?
By the mercy of Allah, you are alive and healthy. You have been given ability and intellect enough to be reading this right now. Alhamdulilah! But what is greater than all of this is that you have in your possession the greatest blessing given to mankind – time. Time is what we fall back on. I’ll have time to do it all later...but, will you? All that you really have is this moment – what will you do with it? Seize it, or squander it?
Dear brother or sister, this is YOUR opportunity to spend 2 full weekends – that’s an entire 6 days – learning IN DEPTH about the most important act of worship you will ever perform. The time to change is now, so what are you waiting for?
Shaykh Abu Eesa Niamatullah is someone who is difficult to describe and put into a single box! He is famous for his "real talk", straight-forward attitude, extremely dark sense of humour and above all else, his Pathan kufi. Somehow connected to all four madha-hib through his numerous teachers, Shaykh Abu Eesa (a.k.a the Big Easy or "AE"), has a rich grasp on Fiqh and Hadeeth, and is known to enlighten you, inspire you, make you laugh, make you cry, reflect and change all within a single session.
With a unique personality and vivacious character, Shaykh Abu Eesa adds a bit of spice and flavour to the AlMaghrib World. Born in London, England, he tracks his roots to the Naser Kheil tribe of the North West Frontier in Pakistan. He studied both Pharmacy and Anthropology at the University of Manchester and later studied Arabic, Islamic Law and the Qur'an with its memorisation from scholars in a diverse array of locations: Pakistan, Egypt, NW Africa, Saudi Arabia and England where he still maintains his studies.
Shaykh Abu Eesa is the Strategic Director of the 1st Ethical Charitable Trust in England, an organisation dedicated to civic engagement and Islamic legal and financial education; he was the original founder of 'Prophetic Guidance' (PG) and the main teacher presenting PG's classes, including the 'al-Adab al-Mufrad' show which you will find playing on many Islamic TV channels. He currently resides in Cairo with his wife and four children.
