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.

Participants will gain insight into how the enduring message of the Quran serves as a source of comfort and strength in times of hardship.

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.
