Promo Event–Save the Date

Bismillah Ar-Rahmaan Ar-Raheem

Looking for that EmanRush that you seem to be lacking? Perhaps you’re struggling between work, school and family life, that you’ve slipped off the path to seek Islamic knowledge. Or perhaps you haven’t heard of AlMaghrib Institute–the Islamic educational institution with the largest student body in the entire Western Hemisphere, committed to providing you with the ‘Ilm (knowledge) to nourish your Islam-hungry soul. Distinguished for their double-weekend seminar program and overly-engaging Shuyookh, AlMaghrib Institution has the time flexibility and interactive learning environment that you need!

Yes, it’s been a few months since we launched a collaborative effort to bring AlMaghrib here to the Twin Cities; however, Alhamdulillah, the wait is almost over. So put aside your excuses for a few minutes and read further for a brief announcement:

 Yep, that’s right folks–AlMaghrib Institute is coming to Minnesota! This Promo Event is our first “official” AlMaghrib event, so make it  your obligation to attend this September 18th as we welcome our surprise AM Instructor to our community. Put all doubts aside and save the date. In the wise words of Sh. Muhammad AlShareef: Give your excuse a black eye!

So see you there Insha’Allah…

WaSalam,
–BB4Muslimas Youth Team

PS: As far as Location is concerned, more information is soon to be decided. We’ll post updates on the AMTC site, bi’ithnillah, immediately. Jazakum Allah for your patience!
