Tafseer Surah Maryam
Here is the invitation video to the seminar in Zurich and some photos from our seminar on the tafseer of Surah Maryam. The course was organised at very short notice, but we were very pleased to be able to host 20 people at the event.
We are looking forward to hosting Sh. Waleed Abdulhakeem soon again.
Lecture: How not to fall in love with the Dunya
Seminar: Social Etiquette in the QurÂ’an
SwissMuslimEvents was pleased to present a seminar in association with the Muslim Students Association of Zurich on the topic of Social Etiquette in the Qur’an.
Humans are social creatures, and across the span of our lifetimes we experience relationships with different types of people: our parents, our spouses, neighbours, fellow Muslims, workers. Some have rights that others don’t, and some have rights which if we do not take care of will have an impact on our standing in front of Allah.
Amongst the themes discussed in the seminar were the following:
- Personal etiquette
- Etiquette with family
- Communal Etiquette
- Financial etiquette
- … and more

Hiking in the Baltschieder Valley
Here are some photos from our fantastic hike to the Baltschieder Valley. If there is enough interest, I’d love to do this hike again next summer.
Seminar: Tawheed – Islamic Monotheism
Alhumdulillah, this course was well attended with approximately 65 attendees spending the day with us.
Before a Muslim learns about the intricate matters of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), or the science of authenticating of hadith, or even learning the Arabic grammar, there is a far more important topic to understand – a topic that defines what a Muslim is.
Sh. Fraz Farhat did a great job explaining some of the fundamentals of Tawheed and we hope to invite him back later to build on what he taught us at this seminar.
Amongst the topics presented at this seminar were:
- Definitions of Aqeedah and Tawheed
- Shirk – its meaning and dangers
- Categories of Shirk
- Allah’s Lordship (Tawheed Ruboobiyah)
- Allah’s Right of worship (Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah)
- Allah’s Names and Attributes (Tawheed al-Asmaa was-Sifaat)
- The meaning and the excellence of the Shahadah
About the speaker
Sh. Fraz Farhat graduated in Engineering from the University of Leeds. In 2000, he graduated from the University of Medina from the faculty of Islamic Law.
As well as a translator of Arabic works, he is a guest on the popular TV show Islam Q&A, and also occasionally teaches for AlKauthar Institute in the UK.

This hike was organised at short notice, but turned out to be very beautiful – especially it’s second stage.

Vortrag: Der Prophet (saw) und die Jugend
Anlässlich des SwissMuslimEvents BBQ für die Aktiven der Islamischen Jugendverbände am Freitag 14. Juni 2013, sprach Imam Muris Begovic Efendi über den Propheten (sallahu alayhi wa sallam) und die Jugend.
Imam Muris lud daher die Jugendlichen ein, sich im Freien, in den Wäldern über der Stadt Zürich, um ihn zu setzen um über die Sunnah des Propheten (saw) zu berichten und ermunterte die TeilnehmerInnen aktiv an diesem Referat teilzunehmen.
Hier sind einige Eindrücke sowie das Referat von Imam Muris: ‘Der Prophet (saw) und die Jugend’
