The quest for knowledge in Islam transcends mere study; it is a holy journey of the heart and spirit, guided by divine illumination. The initial revelation to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the word “Read!” (Surah Al-‘Alaq 96:1), a directive that resonates through the ages, reminding us that acquiring knowledge is a form of worship and a way to draw nearer to the Divine.
Masjid Muhammad of Atlantic City is dedicated to nurturing sacred knowledge within the African-American Muslim community. This July 4th weekend, they will present The Essential Knowledge Retreat, a transformative three-day event aimed at deepening participants’ understanding of Islam’s foundational sciences: Al-‘Aqidah (Creed), Al-Fiqh (Jurisprudence), and At-Tasawwuf (Spirituality). Guided by Imam Amin Muhammad and featuring renowned guest scholars, this immersive seminar offers a profound and enriching experience for all attendees.
In addition to the sessions on Al-‘Aqidah, Al-Fiqh, and At-Tasawwuf, the retreat will also feature interactive group discussions and opportunities for personal reflection and growth.
