The students of United Kingdom’s foremost sisters-only Islamic University, Jaamiatul Imaam Muhammad Zakaria, are nearing the end of their academic year and will shortly be completing the teaching of the six most authentic books of hadeeth. A completion and graduation ceremony has been organised so that sisters from across the UK may have an opportunity to participate in the final lesson of hadeeth. Such a gathering is held annually, and in previous years it has been one of the largest gatherings of sisters in the UK.

Amongst the activities that take place during this ceremony are lectures by fully qualified and capable female scholars on a variety of important subjects. Lectures will be delivered in English and Urdu.

The annual gathering is a unique opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time in a purely Islamic environment in the company of the pious thereby increasing one’s iman and knowledge. Great benefit can be derived during the course of the day from the intellectual input and spiritual guidance of female scholars.

Please come yourself and invite others for the Holy Prophet, may peace & blessings be upon him, said: ‘Whomsoever guides towards a goodness, will get virtues equal to the one who performs that goodness.’ [Muslim]

During the day there will be opportunities to purchase a large variety of Islamic goods such as audio lectures, books, clothing, including hijabs.

About Jaamiatul Imaam Muhammad Zakaria
Jaamiatul Imaam Muhammad Zakaria caters for the Islamic education needs of Muslim sisters in the UK wherein Islamic education is taught alongside secondary education. The Islamic education is taught as a five year course on Islamic theology. The syllabus includes Tafseer of the Qur’an, Hadeeth, Tajweed, Fiqh, and classical as well as modern Arabic. All lessons are taught in a professional manner by learned and qualified female scholars in a traditional but adaptable way, observing all requirements for hijaab as a priority.

When the words of the Prophet (saw) are related there is a shower of blessings just as when the words of Allah are recited.

In view of this auspicous nature of the words of the Prophet (saw), we have conducted classes of hadeeth in Darul Uloom. We are nearing the end of our academic year, and are about to complete the teaching of the six books of hadeeth. We are holding a completion and graduation so that all friends may have an opportunity to participate in the final lesson in hadeeth.

We extend a cordial invitation to all to attend this auspicous gathering.
