We invite you to a profound and thought-provoking seminar delivered by the Shaykh Asim Khan. This seminar will explore the tafsir (interpretation) and meaning of various verses from the Quran that have been discovered amidst the rubble of Gaza—fragments of sacred pages that have remarkably survived the recent devastation.

Shaykh Asim Khan is a respected scholar with a deep commitment to Islamic education and community support. He has studied under prominent scholars and is a Hafiz of the Qur'an, contributing to his ability to convey complex theological concepts in an accessible manner.

In this seminar, we will explore the significance of these Quranic verses found in Gaza, reflecting on their meanings and relevance in the context of suffering, resilience, and hope. Participants will gain insight into how the enduring message of the Quran serves as a source of comfort and strength in times of hardship.


Key Points to be Taught in the Seminar:

    1. Understanding the Fragments: Learn about the historical context and significance of the Quranic fragments found in Gaza, and how they represent the resilience of faith amidst destruction.
    2. Tafsir and Interpretation: Delve into the tafsir of the specific verses discovered, exploring their meanings and the lessons they impart regarding patience, perseverance, and reliance on Allah.
    3. Spiritual Reflection: Reflect on how the messages contained within these verses can provide spiritual solace and guidance for individuals facing adversity in their personal lives and communities.
    4. Connecting with Current Events: Understand the broader implications of these verses in relation to the ongoing struggles faced by the people of Gaza and the importance of empathy and support within the global Muslim community.
    5. Fostering Resilience Through Faith: Discuss ways to integrate the teachings from these verses into our lives, promoting a culture of resilience, hope, and solidarity among Muslims worldwide.

Join us for this impactful seminar as we honor the enduring power of the Quran and its ability to inspire and uplift, even in the most challenging circumstances. Together, let's reflect on the "Verses from Gaza" and draw strength from their timeless wisdom.

Venue Accessability: Unfortunately the venue is down a flight of stairs and there is no lift access, anyone using a wheelchair or who finds it difficult to go up and down stairs (approximately 20 steps) would find it very difficult to access the hall. For your own health and safety we regretably advise that you don't attempt to access the venue.

Push Chairs And Prams: Due to the limited space available inside the venue, we kindly ask you not to bring push chairs or prams in to the venue, especially as you will need to come down a flight of stairs. If you need somewhere to store the push chair during the event, you will need to fold it away and store it away from the seating area at the very back of the hall.

Seating is on a first come first served basis. As this is a free event, we will need to register more attendees than we can acutally seat in the venue.
