Here are some of the pictures we took from our group trip to Bosnia last week. Alhumdulillah the country is beautiful and has lots to offer its visitors!
This May we arranged another Islamic tour, this time in Bosnia.
This tour included visits to some of the most prominent cultural and historic sites in the country, as well as to appreciate its breathtaking natural beauty and landscape.
An experienced, english-speaking tour guide accompanied us to all sites.
SwissMuslimEvents was pleased to present this seminar in association with the Muslim Students Association of Zurich [MSAZ] on the subject of Imaan in Islam.
We hope to post soon the Audio files to share the insight provided by Sh. Fraz Farhat.
We also had the opportunity to be introduce into a new project run by the University of Luzern by Dr. Tunger-Zanetti.
Amongst the topics covered during the seminar were:
the definition and nature of imaan
the fluctuation of imaan
causes for the increase and strengthening of imaan
causes for the decrease and weakening of imaan
making a personal imaan-development plan
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.
SwissMuslimEvents invited to our fullday seminar on “Maqasid – the aims of Islamic Law” held by Ustdah Alomgir for the first time in the newly build lecture rooms of the Bosnian masjid in Zurich-Schlieren.
The topic of the Aims of Islamic Law can sometimes be tricky, and can lead people to arrive at incorrect conclusions when not understood properly.
In this course therefore the following subjects were elaborated:
where these aims come from and how they are derived
the types of the aims of Islamic Law
the different categories and levels of maqasid
how to resolve conflicts between the different aims
the relationship between maqasid and legal evidences
examples of the abuse of maqasid
… and much more!
About the Speaker
Ustdah Alomgir has a BA in Arabic & English language and has studied Arabic and Islamic studies in Cairo. He is pursuing a degree in Shariah at al Azhar University in Cairo. He has translated a number of books and holds weekly Tafseer classes in London and is a regular Khateeb in a number of mosques in London.
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.
Mashallah, the turnout at Nur ul-Huda Moschee in Luzern was pretty strong: around 75 people attended to listen to Sh. Waleed Abdulhakeem.
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:

On the weekend before Ramadan this year we organised a one day seminar in conjunction with the Muslim Students Association of Zurich entitled “Ramadan – Fiqh of Fasting.”
If you were unable to attend the seminar we are making the audio files from the seminar available to you.
In the final session, Sh. Mohammed discussed the Ramadan Battle Plan. The PDF of this file can be downloaded for your personal use by clicking here.
In early December we ran a seminar with the help of the MSA at the University of Zurich. Over 30 people including many students attended the course. Our youngest attendee was 16 years old and the eldest was in her 50s, mashallah!
