[Aaliyyah]

Lecture Topics, found them really interesting. Take a look,

 

Miami Vice Abu Usamah Atthahabi

 

The youth is the best time in anyone’s life. All adventure and freedom, rugged individualism and instant gratification. The sahaba were youth once as well. Guys like, Hassan and Hussain, Abdullah bin Mas’ood, ibn Umar, ibn Abbas and Mussab ibn Umayr. They were all welcome in Islam and each of them played an important role.

 

Sometimes some sins stand in our way from becoming great and doing brilliant things in life. They hold us back and harm us and all those who love us. Journey of Faith especially invites young Muslims to cruise through the drawback of sins and find better alternatives in Islam.

 

 

 

What’s Love Gotta Do With It? Muhammad Alshareef

 

Love in the 21st century has gone online. With everyone’s personal profile and pictures on facebook, instant messaging and texting, shyness and modesty seem like the thing of the past. Every day is a new love story and a new heartache. There is lots of excitement, drama and then destruction. So what is love? When it is suppose to be beautiful intrinsic feeling that Allah has put in our hearts, then how can it be so short-lived, selfish and painful? Feel the real love, how it actually happens and how to make it last…. this summer at Journey of Faith.

 

Pendulum of Faith Abu Abdissalam

 

What is Islam? What does Allah require from Muslims in the 21st century? How much should we pray and when can we play? Should work be left for worship? Does school stop spirituality? Can we have fun and relax and be religious at the same time? Get the best of both worlds inshaAllah, this summer at Journey of Faith

 

 

 

Why Are My Prayers Not Answered Abu Usamah Atthahabi

 

I supplicate to Allah with a meek heart, in state of wudu whilst facing the qiblah…. I call upon Him with His beautiful Names, sincerely imploring His mercy, over and over again…. But I get no response. “Allah does not listen”. What is going on?

 

Sins and disobedience defile our relationship with Allah. Acceptance of supplication, stipulates sincerity and submission. Arm yourself with Allah’s love and servility. Master the power of du’aa at Journey of Faith.

 

 

 

Dawah Door to Door Yusha Evans

 

Imagine you found the cure for cancer or blindness or depression. How fast would you spread the news? We quickly would you send the medicinal tablet or syrup to the lab for mas production?

 

Islam is Allah’s guidance, healing and mercy that we should share with urgency. Islam is a religion of spreading peace and inviting people to good. Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w) gave Da’wah at all times, in all places and to all kinds of people. He (s.a.w) taught the elite and the celebrities, the sinners and the faithful, the unbelievers and apostates.

 

The 21st century comes to us with new challenges and charges against Islam. Get the latest tactics and techniques to spread and defend Islam, door to door.

 

 

 

Home or Hijrah Panel Discussion

 

Should Muslims stay in the West or do Hijrah? What and where is home? Exciting Baat Cheet with Scholars and students of knowledge: where Muslims belong and how we can benefit the community? What are our rights and responsibilities? Should we boycott or work hard?

 

 

 

Can’t We all Just Get Along !? Abdur Raheem Green

 

How many times have we come across a Muslim but backed out from saying salam to them or praying next them because they weren’t exactly like us? Do we look down upon each other over small differences. Why can’t we all just get along? Journey of Faith is specially coming to improve race relations and unite the Ummah under one umbrella because we ALL BELONG!

[Aaliyyah]

Character Flaws Yahya Ibrahim

 

Imperfections, problems, phobias or deficiencies? Understand yourself better – work from your areas of strengths and strengthen your weaknesses. Get over the choleric, melancholic old you and bring out the plus in your personality.

 

 

 

Political Turbulence Yahya Ibrahim

 

Riots. Rebellion and revolutions. Is change in the air or chaos? What is a Muslim to do in these times of turbulence? Who did they blame and who did they brace? Should we join violence or watch by the sidelines? Should we be patient or take the matters into our own hands? Face political fitnah with the Prophet’s Sunnah (s.a.w).

 

 

 

The Bent Rib: Woman In Islam Muhammad Faqih

 

What do the teachers of Imaam Malik, Imaam Shafa’i and Imaam Bukhari have in common? Their gender! They were women!

 

Muslim women have always enjoyed great empowerment and esteem in Islam. They hold positions of inspiration and leadership. Journey of Faith invites all women to realize their potential and gain perspicacity. 2 days of rich knowledge and revitalizing resolutions for women’s issues in North America. Talk about family, work, hobbies, relationships and MORE …

 

 

 

The Dust of Riba Abu Abdissalam

 

Is your cash clean? Is your food, house and car ribaa free? Save yourself and your family from haram. Truth about Ribaa revealed….Eliminate debt from your life and create a halal spending action plan …this year at Journey of Faith!

 

 

 

Married Till death do us part Riad Ourzazi

 

He wants to go play basketball and she wants to go shopping. He planned to sleep in and she told her parents they were coming over. She made baked penne primvera but he is craving for a beef burger.

 

So you and your spouse aren’t exactly the same. Your interests aren’t identical. Is your marriage in trouble or is it a test from Allah? Transform your marriage and re-commit to your partnership. Improve your communication skills and learn the love language, compromise and complements.

 

 

 

Just Go Do It Abdulla Idris

 

Imagine meeting your Best Friend at your favourite hangout. Your Friend knows everything about you, you can always count on your Friend to be there for you whenever you need. Your Friend is also very generous, He is always giving you everything you need. You find peace and joy in His company. How would you like that? Great friendship right? This is the example of Salah. Allah is our Best Friend, We can meet Him in Salah, every day and receive His mercy and blessings and come out happy with peace.

 

When I desire to hear Allah speak, i read the Qur’an. And when I wish to speak to Allah, I offer Salah – anonymous. Salah is an act of worship, an ideology and a lifestyle. Salah is the personality and prestige of a Believer. Their connection with the Creator and the community. Renew your love for Salah and start enjoying your time with Allah this summer at Journey of Faith.

 

 

 

Parenting in Islam Mohammad Ali

 

Got kids? Are they teenagers? Defiant, argumentative and uncooperative? Are you talking to them a little bit or not at all? Have you given up trying to get them to get off the phone, do homework, eat and go to bed? Teenaged years are difficult for both the youth and their parents. It is hard understanding each other and seeing eye-to-eye. Get to know what is really happening with the Muslim Youth and how parents can help.

Alone with Allah Omar Suleiman

 

Do you find yourself more anxious or upset these days? Are you off-the-charts restless or fidgety? How can we make our mechanical lives more relaxed and fulfilling? Make your really lousy day/week/life really awesome and sweet. Shed your sadness and cool off your stress. Spend more time with Allah at Journey of Faith.

 

 

 

Enjoy your life – Live it up! Omar Suleiman

 

Is the pursuit of wealth inherently evil and greedy? Is a fashionable dress or a nice ride, a sign of arrogance? Is piety only achieved by the poor? Nay! How does one enjoy life within the confines of Qur’an and Sunnah? Learn all about living lavish, gratification of sense, gratitude to Allah and MORE.

 

 

 

Father of Ignorance Abdur Raheem Green

 

He called the Muslims, names and harassed them. He ridiculed, alienated and repressed them. He was Abu Jahal. The Prophet’s (s.a.w) response to the persecution and propaganda? Patience, Da’wah and Prayer! Deal with Islamaphobia in the West today in a new, peaceful, promising and a Prophetic Light. Educate and equip yourself to enlighten the enemies of Islam.

 

 

 

Leave a Legacy Muhammad Alshareef

 

What wisdom would you impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance? If you had to vanish tomorrow, what would want to leave behind as your legacy? Good health, time and talent are assets you can use to leave a mark. Learn how you can be an agent of change and goodness. Make difference and do something that really matters. Your moment is waiting …

 

 

 

Minority Report Dr. Bilal Philips

 

So many schools or thoughts and so many opinions. Confusion, disarray and division clouds the Muslim community. Who decides the religious rules? Who should we follow anyway? Get inside dibs on Fiqh, Fatwa and Ijtihad. Learn how to be brothers, friends and supporters despite the differences.

 

 

 

I Belong: to the Ummah of Rasool Allah (s.a.w) Said Rageah

 

So many faces and beautiful races.

 

Different languages, cultures and dresses.

 

Where do we belong? On which spectrum should we stand up and stay strong?

 

What is the common factor, that one single denominator…

 

that unites us in a tight bond?

 

Is it wealth? Our place of birth or social worth?

 

Nay! It is something bigger than that. I

 

It is a blessing, honour and privilege.

 

We are one and we are the same because we are the followers of he who enriched our lives with faith. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). We are his Ummah, and Allah’s obedient slaves.

 

 

 

The House of Allah and the House of Shaytan Abdulla Idris

 

A shining light, a symbol of truth, a serene place of worship and strength for the entire community – Mosques hold a special place in the heart of every Muslim. They are our place of prayer, recitation and rectitude. A place to meet, seek holy retreat and solitude. Take your connection with the House of Allah at a whole new level at Journey of Faith.

[genius pauper.]

aaliyyah, masha allah. allah bless you. hope you understand yourself better. lol.

[Alpha Blondy]

very soon they'll be building mega-mosques. what do these types of conference seek to achieve bal?

[genius pauper.]

alpha, how serious are you about this question?:mad::mad:

i just wish you were in ceelasha biyaha, and you asked a similar bal, may be you will have been happier. i just wish that. lol

[A_Khadar]

Alliya maansha'alah. Thanks walaal for sharing. I can see specific topic that I can personal need and benifit from, but I can't attend though. Hope you can collect videos/cds from the lectures and share insha'alah.

[Aaliyyah]

Genius thanks thats the plan inshallah..

 

Alpha, I cant really speak for what their purpose is, cuz at times I find their tickets on the expensive side (like now I have to pay 45 dollars for just one ticket bt theres deadline by june 19 if it passes im gonna have to pay 55 dollars and if i end up buying it at the door it is 60 dollars for just one person acuudubillah lol..like gimme a break and it is not just me i would love to take my younger siblings with me...so they do irritate me at times). laakin hadaan wax ka dhoho wa danbi it is probably expensive to run such events and im sure they need the funds. I am not the kind of person who goes to every conference or islamic class (we have here almaqrib/kauther seminars) . But, once in a while I do attend. Mostly it serves as a reminder for us...kuwa qalqalinaya yaga their intention only Allah swt knows..nt gonna question it!

 

Khadar I am sure the CDs will be available at most islamic centres or muslim stores..so inshallah ull have access to that..

 

salaam

[Aaliyyah]

^^I believe only straight ppl are allowed to attend the conference

[Alpha Blondy]

Axmad, i definitely agree with you. i've been on the islamic lecture circuits and frankly its a dating agency. perhaps, those somali sistas attendees can meet their revert lovers. not to mention the pea-brain akhis who are too consumed in small talk. the shiekhs are all celebrities and only happy to have their credentials mentioned every 5 secs.
