The Quran emphasizes that the believer should have firm foundations. Allah the Exalted says, Who is better: the person who lays the foundations of his building upon mindfulness of Allah and His good pleasure, or the person who lays the foundation of his building upon the brink of a crumbling precipice? (Quran 9:109)

This program is an opportunity to bring the blessings of sacred knowledge into our day-to-day life. Rooted in our scholarly tradition and taught with our current context in mind, Firm Foundations aims to provide students with the knowledge of the individual obligations (Fard ‘Ayn), which includes Aqida (Theology), Fiqh (Jurisprudence) and Tasawwuf (Spirituality).

Starting September 11th, classes will be held once a week on Sunday evenings, both in-person and online, and will be taught by our beloved teachers Shaykh Yahya Rhodus and Ustadh Yusuf Weltch. The full program will run for the duration of 35 weeks and will be split into 4 terms from September 2022-June 2023, in sha' Allah. Recordings will be made available, in sha Allah, for missed classes and other timezones.
