Graduating from Dar al-Mustafa and returning to the United States, Shaykh Yahya pursued studies in various academic institutions, culminating in a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Cambridge, England.Shaykh Yahya believes in the necessity of building sound educational institutions that effectively nurture the realities of Islam in the lives of believers, enabling them to reach their full potential as human beings. He has dedicated his life to teaching and helping others put their knowledge into practice for the benefit of themselves and humanity. In the spirit of what he has learned from his teachers, Shaykh Yahya is committed to a holistic approach to religious life that considers the various dimensions of health and is embedded in love, mercy, knowledge, purity of heart, remembrance of God, good companionship, and concern for all of creation.

Aisha (RA) is one of the great hadith narrators who kept the speech of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (PBUH), alive by memorizing his words during his lifetime and teaching them to others after his death. The narration of prophetic speech is among one of the most important tasks in Islam. Without the preservation of prophetic speech, each generation would be more and more confused as to what it means to live an ethical and moral life in accordance with the pleasure of God.Join us as we learn more about the legacy of scholarship set forward by our mother, 'Aisha (RA). Ustadha Nuriddeen Knight will be speaking on her book, "40 Hadith of Our Mother 'Aisha", an English compilation of 40 sayings (hadith) from the Prophet Muhammad, peace to him narrated by 'Aisha (RA), may God be pleased with her.Nuriddeen Knight completed an MA in psychology with a focus on child and family from Columbia University. Alongside her academic degree, she studied traditional Islamic knowledge including Islamic law, theology, spirituality and prophetic biography with local scholars and in the majalis in Amman, Jordan.

Surah Nisa is the 4th Chapter of the Quran. In it's 136th verse, a command is given that states "يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ءَامِنُوا۟" - Oh you who believe, believe...."The imperative command to believe gives an insight that iman is something that can be put into practice and not just something that is held as a conceptual conviction. Of the many benefits of this practice of action with belief is the attainment of self-awareness that can lead to contentment, but one needs to first come to an understanding of they believe in before any of it. Join us this Friday as Imam Khalid Latif discusses this verse and examples from the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in hopes of drawing light on how we can put our iman into action.______________________Join Imam Khalid Latif in the GCASL Grand Hall every Friday at 1:15 PM EDT for another khutbah (sermon).Allah ﷻ has ordained Friday (Jumu'ah) as a blessed day of gathering and reflection for us, the 'ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, so come and spend this special day with your brothers and sisters here at the IC.

Anxiety is something that so many people wrestle with day to day. As with so many things that impact us and those around us, we find examples of how the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, supported those who struggled with the debilitating impact that anxiety can have. In today's khutbah Imam Khalid Latif will look at the following hadith as a basis for how we can learn to support others who struggle with anxiety the way our Prophet did.Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered the mosque one day while a man from the Ansar named Abu Umamah was there. The Prophet said, “O Abu Umamah, what is the matter that I see you sitting in the mosque while it is not time for prayer?” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am compelled by anxiety and debts.” The Prophet said, “Shall I not teach you a word to say by which Allah Almighty will relive your worry and complete your debt?” He said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet said, “Say in the morning and evening: O Allah, I seek refuge in you from worry and sadness. I seek refuge in you from weakness and laziness. I seek refuge in you from cowardice and miserliness. And I seek refuge in you from being overwhelmed by debt and the tyranny of men.”Source: Sunan Abī Dāwūd 1555عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَقَالَيَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ هُمُومٌ لَزِمَتْنِي وَدُيُونٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَفَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلَامًا إِذَا أَنْتَ قُلْتَهُ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَمَّكَ وَقَضَى عَنْكَ دَيْنَكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَإِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَقَهْرِ الرِّجَالِ1555 سنن أبي داود كتاب الصلاة باب تفريع أبواب الوتر باب في الاستعاذة
Join special guest Shaykh Yahya Rhodus in the GCASL Grand Hall this Friday at 1:15 PM EDT for a khutbah (sermon).Allah ﷻ has ordained Friday (Jumu'ah) as a blessed day of gathering and reflection for us, the 'ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, so come and spend this special day with your brothers and sisters here at the IC. All are welcome!Shaykh Yahya Rhodus is the Founding Director of Al-Maqasid, an Islamic seminary whose vision is to facilitate the realization of Islam, Iman and Ihsan through immersion in the Prophetic Inheritance. The concept of Al-Maqasid emerged from his own journey which began at the traditional school of Murabit al-Hajj in the desert of Mauritania shortly after his conversion. His path of learning then led him to the acclaimed school Dar al-Mustafa in Tarim, where he received instruction from the renowned scholar and spiritual guide Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. After graduating from Dar al-Mustafa and returning to the United States, he studied in a number of academic institutions, culminating in a PhD in Theology and Religious Studies from the University of Cambridge, England. Shaykh Yahya believes in the necessity of building sound educational institutions that effectively nurture the realities of Islam in the lives of believers so that they can reach their full potential as human beings. He has dedicated his life to teaching and helping others put their knowledge into practice in order to benefit themselves and humanity. In the spirit of what he has learned from his teachers, Shaykh Yahya is committed to a holistic approach to religious life that considers the various dimensions of health and is embedded in love, mercy, knowledge, purity of heart, remembrance of God, good companionship, and concern for all of creation. He hopes his work through Al-Maqasid will help transfer the beautiful religious heritage of Islam to the upcoming generations.
Tawfeeq is something that we quite often ask for in our du'aas, both when we pray directly to Allah and also when we ask others to make du'aa for us. In this two-part khutbah, Imam Khalid Latif gives an overview of what Tawfeeq is, it's definition, and discuss 6 things that Ibn Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, cites as what close that doors of Tawfeeq for us. Ibn Qayyim al-JawziyyahShaqeeq Ibn Ibaraheem said:“The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things:1) Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allah instead of thanking Allah for them,2) their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,3) the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,4) the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,5) the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,6) and the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it.”[Reference: Al Fawaai’d by Ibn Al Qayim: P. 161]

Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.

Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States.

Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.

Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif’s exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24.
Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.

By the grace of Allah the Exalted, Shaykh Yusuf Weltch embraced Islam in September of 2008 at the hands of his older brother. Shortly after converting, he was afforded an opportunity to go abroad and learn about the principles of inviting others to Allah (da'wah), traveling to the blessed lands of Mecca and Medina, as well as Bangladesh and India. Upon returning to the United States, Ustadh Yusuf was accepted by Darul Uloom New York, where he continued studying the sacred sciences for four more years. He then traveled to the blessed city of Tarim, Yemen, spending three especially formative years at the acclaimed school Dar al-Mustafa established by renowned scholar Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. During this time, he completed the memorization of the Qur'an, the Forty Hadith of Imam Nawawi, while also studying several manuals of fiqh, as well as numerous books of the Islamic spiritual tradition. He returned to North America in 2019 to begin teaching with SeekersGuidance in Toronto, and in July 2021 he joined the faculty at Al-Maqasid.

Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, antisemitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.

Surah Al-Kawthar is amongst the shortest yet most memorized and meaningful chapters of the Quran. Many of us learn it at a young age, converts engage it at the onset of their Islam, and likely we recite it on a regular basis in our prayers. In one hadith we find mention of its benefits:
It was narrated that Anas in Malik said: "One day when he-the Prophet (ﷺ)- was still among us, he took a nap, then he raised his head, smiling. We said to him: 'Why are you smiling, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Just now this Surah was revealed to me: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Verily, We have granted you (O Muahmmad) Al-Kawthar. Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only). For he who hates you, he will be cut off.' Then he said: 'Do you know what Al-Kawthar is?' We said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'It is a river that my Lord has promised me in Paradise. Its vessels are more than the number of the stars. My Ummah will come to me, then a man among them will be pulled away and I will say: "O Lord, he is one of my Ummah" and He will say to me: 'You do not know what he did after you were gone." أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا - يُرِيدُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم - إِذْ أَغْفَى إِغْفَاءَةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مُتَبَسِّمًا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ " نَزَلَتْ عَلَىَّ آنِفًا سُورَةُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ { إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ * فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ * إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الأَبْتَرُ } " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا الْكَوْثَرُ " . قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ . قَالَ " فَإِنَّهُ نَهْرٌ وَعَدَنِيهِ رَبِّي فِي الْجَنَّةِ آنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ الْكَوَاكِبِ تَرِدُهُ عَلَىَّ أُمَّتِي فَيُخْتَلَجُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْهُمْ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي . فَيَقُولُ لِي إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثَ بَعْدَكَ " .

Muharram–– the first month of the Islamic calendar–– demarcates a period of religious significance for Muslims across the globe, who annually commemorate the tragedy of Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala. Particular to Shia Muslim tradition, the first 10 days are historically spent mourning, grieving, and reflecting upon Hussain and his family’s spiritual sacrifice through lamentation poetry, nightly gatherings, and various forms of cultural expression. Muharram is not only centered around sorrow, but is also a time of community unity and harmony, bringing out themes of justice, love, beauty, generosity, compassion and fidelity to the Prophet and his family.

Our service and efforts to seek proximity to the Creator often undergo the distractions of life and the daily grind. And once in a while, it’s helpful to remind ourselves of His gifts and offerings to His creation. In the Quran, and teachings of the Prophet and his family, we are taught to remind ourselves of God’s blessings that we are constantly surrounded by. So truly, how generous is the All-Generous?

The month of Ramadan is meant to be a time of taking account of our souls and the beginning of the journey of self-purification. But as much as the holy month is about taking individual steps, in turn, it requires a commitment to social change. From the inspiration we gain from spending the days fasting and the nights in worship, we are meant to come to the forefront of supporting the most vulnerable in our communities.

The opportunity for growth is immense in the month of Ramadan for the one who chooses to take advantage of it. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” Hadith gives us insight that adversarial elements looking for us to fail are not able to impact us in the same way during the blessed month of Ramadan. What remains is ourselves and a choice to willfully improve in relation to where we currently stand. Join us for a reflection on this first Jummah of Ramadan with Imam Khalid Latif where he looks into this and more as a means for each of us to take as much as we can from our Ramadan.

The Most Difficult Hurdles - The Soul | “One of the greatest obstacles to a life of faith is confidence. This week, we will reflect on how knowledge inspires us to have confidence in our faith and our Lord.” – Sheikh Suhaib Webb
“Violence enjoys a contradictory space in American life: it is the celebrity of patriotism, and the devil when it runs wild. The exclusive focus on politics to temper violence is problematic because our lives, from the culture we digest to the words we use, drip with violence. How can we be aware of the fascination America has with violence, and how can we emancipate our hearts and minds from its grasp so we can be carriers of peace and justice?" – Sheikh Suhaib Webb

"Allah's blessings and guidance are so vast and comprehensive; not a single creature should be forgotten or oppressed. Yet, sometimes human desire for power can lead us to corruption and tyranny. Allah has made gratitude and protection of those weaker than us as part of faith. Islam is so complete it includes protection of animal rights. Let's journey the life of Prophet Saleh and learn how to safeguard our faith." – Sheikha Ieasha Prime
The Most Difficult Hurdles - People | "Oppression is defined as messing with something that does not belong to you. Since all things belong to Allah, then it is impossible for us to believe he has wronged us. Join us, as we unpack the subtle relationship between, tauhid, faith, and life." – Sheikh Suhaib Webb

This week, we will continue to build on Islam's definition of repentance, noting its impact on our lives." – Sheikh Suhaib Webb

Join Imam Khalid Latif for a Jummah Reflection entitled "Close Your Eyes To See: Uncovering Discovery For Our Times."
"Join us on the journey of Revelation and the lives of the Prophets. Idris, alaihi Salaam, was described in the Quran as trustworthy, patient and exalted in station. Let's comb the pages of history to discover what were the traces left by the first man to take up the Pen and write." – Sheikha Ieasha Prime
The Reality of Repentance – "Repentance is a deliberate act or restoration. A renewal of the bond between us and Allah. This week we'll begin to examine al-Ghazzali's ideas around repentance, noting its impact on the individual and policy, especially in an age of harsh judgments and the absence of redemption." – Sheikh Suhaib Webb
"As the terrain of this era shifts, a bi-product is its nomenclature. While at times necessary, an uncritical adoption of terms may inadvertently replace meanings that are found in scripture. The outcome is a mind guided by the corporal, instead of faith. A secular mind, clothed in the language of the age." – Sheikh Suhaib Webb

During Wednesday night's class of Live and Learn, we can take this path of Revelation to the World and extract the gems for our personal lives and struggles in faith.
Our existence is rooted in the knowing of Allah and that knowing is deepened through knowledge of His Divine Names and Attributes. Join us as Imam Khalid Latif leads a discussion on a different Divine Name of Allah and how we can connect to Allah through that name by reflecting it in our own character. This week we will be discussing Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem.
Sura al-Hashr, Part X: Sura al-Hashr begins with the glorification of God, and concludes with the glorification of God, for seeking knowledge of Him is the ultimate objective of our existence. In the journey through its last 5 verses, God calls upon us to reflect and contemplate His signs...His book, His Power, His magnanimity...for reflection allows for us to put things into perspective and remember our roles and responsibilities in the midst of all the distractions of this world.
The Prayer of Iblis: Have you ever wondered how could one fall so far from faith? How could you be in the company of angels and the presence of Allah and still disobey? Join me for a talk on the fall of Shaitan and how to prevent ourselves from his fate.

Commentary of Sura al-Hashr (Part IX): Ultimate success, or the attainment of paradise requires focus and diligence, and utilizing the roadmap given to us by the Quran and instruction of the Prophet and his family. In verses 18-20 of Sura al-Hashr, the Quran once again reminds us of preparing ourselves for the eternal journey and the significance of being vigilant over our souls and thus our actions and words.
"Allah loves the patient!" Patience strengthens the spirit, sweetens the temper, stifles anger, extinguishes envy, subdued pride, bridles the tongue, restrains the hand, and tramples upon temptations. - George Horne. Join us for our weekly Live and Learn class, with Sheikha Ieasha Prime to gain this beautiful virtue, cultivate it into our lives and reap its great reward.
“The story of Yusuf is one of great tragedy and promise. While it’s themes are many. It’s greatest is that with Allah, everything will eventually be alright.” – Sheikh Suhaib Webb
Commentary of Sura al-Hashr (Part VIII): The dunya is a deceptive place, as it appears to be attractive but in reality is a distraction from that which is most important. Falling intro this trap is a common test that many have failed, yet the Quran and Prophetic teachings have given us the tools to steer away from its attachment. In continuing our conversation on Sura al-Hashr, verses 16-20 are a reminder for us to be God-concious and account for our own souls early and often.
