Instructor: Dr. Daoud Nassimi
Why does Allah allow suffering? What is the purpose of trials? How do divine decree, human choice, justice, and mercy fit together when we encounter hardship?
These questions have profound implications for how we understand Allah and respond to the difficulties of life.
Over five weeks, Dr. Daoud Nassimi will examine suffering from an Islamic perspective, beginning with the purpose of human life and the role of tests and trials. Students will explore divine guidance and human responsibility, different forms of suffering and the wisdom that may lie behind them, and the relationship between justice in this world and ultimate justice in the Hereafter.
The course will also consider the spiritual response to hardship—including patience, gratitude, hope, perseverance, and trust in Allah.
The aim is not to offer simplistic answers to difficult experiences, but to develop a more grounded Islamic framework for understanding suffering while strengthening faith in Allah’s wisdom, justice, and mercy.
Location: ADAMS Leesburg Schedule: Fridays, after Maghrib Start Date: November 6, 2026 Duration: 5 weeks Audience: Open to all adults
Topics include: Purpose of Life; Tests and Trials; Divine Guidance and Human Free Will; Forms of Suffering and Their Wisdom; Divine Justice in the Hereafter.

Surah Ya-Sin calls its reader to reflect on revelation, faith, the signs of Allah, human accountability, resurrection, and the reality of the life to come.
In this 12-week course, Imam Kebba Sallah will guide students through a study of Surah Ya-Sin, helping participants move beyond recitation toward a deeper understanding of its meanings, themes, and guidance.
Through careful study and reflection, students will consider how the Surah addresses fundamental questions of belief: the truth of revelation, the mission of Allah’s messengers, the signs of His power throughout creation, resurrection after death, and our ultimate return to Him.
The course offers an opportunity to develop a more thoughtful relationship with a frequently recited chapter of the Qur’an and to consider how its message should shape our faith, priorities, and awareness of the Hereafter.

What can the lives of the Companions teach us about living with sincerity, courage, devotion, resilience, and faith today?
Join Ustadha Kouthar Muttardy for a monthly women’s gathering exploring the lives and legacies of the Sahabah through the virtues they embodied. Each session will center on a particular quality of faith and draw from moments across the lives of both male and female Companions.
Rather than approaching their stories simply as history, we will reflect on how the Companions responded to challenges, relationships, worship, sacrifice, and responsibility—and what their examples can teach us about our own lives.
Together, participants will consider practical ways to cultivate these same qualities while building meaningful companionship with other women seeking to align their hearts and actions with Prophetic guidance.

The greatest knowledge a person can attain is knowledge of Allah. The more deeply we know our Creator, the deeper our gratitude, love, trust, worship, and obedience can become.
This 10-week course explores how the Qur’an calls human beings to know Allah through revelation, reason, and reflection. Students will examine the existence of God, the signs of Allah throughout creation, His Names and Attributes, the meaning of Tawhid, and the deeper implications of the Shahadah.
The course will also engage contemporary questions surrounding belief, reason, science, and arguments about the existence of God, helping students develop a faith that is both deeply rooted and thoughtfully understood.
From foundational questions about who Allah is to the practical implications of Tawhid in everyday life, this course offers an opportunity to strengthen iman while developing a clearer and more meaningful understanding of the One we worship.

Join us for a weekly women’s suhbah dedicated to sacred learning, sincere reflection, spiritual growth, and uplifting companionship.
This ongoing gathering provides a consistent space for women to step away from the demands of daily life, study the Islamic tradition, reflect honestly on the state of the heart, and grow alongside a supportive community of sisters. New participants are welcome; no previous participation is required.
This term, the gathering will center on Ibn ʿAta’illah al-Iskandari’s al-Hikam, a collection of concise and profound aphorisms addressing the inner life of the believer. Through shared reading, commentary, and discussion, participants will reflect on themes such as reliance upon Allah, sincerity, spiritual struggle, trials, attachment, and the pursuit of closeness to Him.
Rather than a formal lecture course, Women’s Suhbah is designed as a space for sustained learning, reflection, conversation, and companionship.
*Location: ADAMS Sterling The gathering will begin this fall at ADAMS Sterling and is expected to relocate to ADAMS Ashburn in the coming months. Schedule: Wednesdays, 11:00 AM–1:30 PM Start Date: September 23, 2026 Duration: Ongoing weekly program Audience: Women Current Text:al-Hikam by Ibn ʿAta’illah al-Iskandari

What would it look like to spend an entire year reading, reflecting upon, and building a more consistent relationship with the Qur’an?
The Living Qur’an is a weekly women’s tadabbur circle designed to help participants journey through the Qur’an together over the course of a year. Tadabbur means deep reflection and contemplation on the Qur’an—pausing to consider its guidance, themes, lessons, and relevance to our lives.
Each week, participants will read the designated juz’ at home and then gather to reflect on its central themes, ask questions, discuss important lessons, and consider how its message speaks to our everyday lives.
The emphasis is on thoughtful, guided reflection rather than formal tafsir: slowing down enough to notice recurring themes, make meaningful connections, and consider how the Qur’an should shape our faith and actions.
Whether you have read the translation many times or are engaging deeply with the Qur’an for the first time, this gathering offers structure, companionship, and a consistent space for reflection on the Book of Allah.
Location: ADAMS Gainesville Schedule: Wednesdays, 7:30–9:00 PM Start Date: September 23, 2026 Duration: Year-long program, with scheduled breaks Audience: Women Format: Approximately one juz’ per week
Instructor: Ustadha Kouthar Muttardy
What does Islam teach us about being a good friend, companion, brother, sister, and member of a community?
Over this 10-week course, Ustadha Kouthar Muttardy will guide students through the ethics, responsibilities, and spiritual dimensions of companionship through two classical works: Imam al-Shaʿrani’s Etiquettes of Companionship and Imam al-Ghazali’s The Duties of Brotherhood.
Students will explore the qualities that sustain sincere relationships: loyalty, generosity, good counsel, patience, forgiveness, appropriate boundaries, and a genuine concern for the spiritual well-being of others. The course will also examine the responsibilities we owe one another and how Islamic adab can guide us through the challenges that naturally arise in human relationships.
At its heart, this course asks what it means to build friendships and communities rooted not merely in shared interests, but in mutual growth and companionship for the sake of Allah.
Location: ADAMS Sterling Schedule: Tuesdays, 7:00–9:00 PM Start Date: September 22, 2026 Duration: 10 weeks Audience: Open to all adults Texts:Etiquettes of Companionship and The Duties of Brotherhood
