Part of the Qurtuba Islamic Sciences Program
Why this course matters: Build a strong foundation for understanding the Qur’an and engaging with it meaningfully in daily life.
The Qur’an is the central source of guidance in Islam, shaping the faith, worldview, and intellectual tradition of Muslims for over fourteen centuries. Understanding the Qur’an requires not only engaging with its message, but also becoming familiar with the disciplines developed by Muslim scholars to preserve, interpret, and reflect upon it.
This course offers a structured introduction to the Qur’an and the classical sciences developed around it (ʿUlum al-Qur’an). Students will explore the history of revelation, the compilation and preservation of the Qur’an, its organization and themes, and the scholarly methods used to understand its meanings.
Key topics include:
Designed as a hybrid between an academic introduction and a reflective community class, the course aims to build foundational knowledge while cultivating a deeper relationship with the Qur’an.
Adults interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the Qur’an and its sciences. The course is accessible to motivated community members while offering meaningful depth.
Mature high school students may attend with interest and commitment.

Why this course matters: Ensure your daily worship is sound, confident, and grounded in reliable scholarship.
This course offers a structured study of purification (ṭahārah) and prayer (ṣalāh) according to the Hanafi madhhab.
Many Muslims have not formally studied these essential acts of worship, despite their status as personal obligations (farḍ ʿayn). This course addresses that gap through a clear and systematic presentation of the foundational rulings governing purification and daily prayer.
The course is based primarily on the classical Hanafi primer Ascent to Felicity (Marāqī al-Saʿādāt) by Abu’l-Ikhlāṣ Ḥasan al-Shurunbulālī, along with supplementary references such as Al-Fiqh al-Hanafi wa Adillatuhu where beneficial.
Students will gain clarity, confidence, and practical knowledge while also being introduced to key differences between madhāhib where relevant.
Studying fiqh in an organized manner helps reduce doubt, avoid confusion, and minimize reliance on inconsistent or fragmented sources.
Adults seeking a structured study of purification and prayer according to the Hanafi school. No formal prerequisites are required.

Join us for a special evening with guest speaker Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans for a program focused on the timeless approach of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to inviting others to Islam.
This session will explore how the Prophet presented Islam through his character, conduct, and story—and what lessons can be drawn from his methodology of da‘wah in today’s context. The talk will emphasize practical, accessible ways of sharing Islam that resonate meaningfully with people in our time.
The program will feature a structured lecture with clear, tangible examples, followed by a moderated Q&A with the community.
About the Speaker
Ustadh Ubaydullah Evans is ALIM’s first Scholar-in-Residence. He embraced Islam in high school and went on to study foundational Islamic sciences under local scholars before continuing his studies at the Institute of Islamic Education (Chicago), in Tarim, Yemen, and at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt—where he became the first African American to graduate from its Shari‘a program. He also teaches with the Ta’leef Collective and the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN).
Please join us for our monthly UmmaTea session, open to the community, hosted by ADAMS Young Adults in partnership with ADAMS Qurtuba and Qahwa Cafe!
All of us have been touched by loss, whether the passing of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or struggling to support someone else who is grieving. At the final UmmaTea session of 2025, we invite the whole community for a timeless and universal conversation about how the Quran can be a healing and a salve for our hearts when afflicted with pain, especially grief after loss.
As Allah SWT says in Surah Isra, “And We send down of the Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers” (17:82). How can we connect our hearts to the Quran and allow the Everlasting Word of Allah guide us through life’s transitions, providing us with hope and grounding as we begin a new year?
Join Imam Magid as we think and learn together to answer these questions. We know this is a holiday weekend, many students and family members are in town. Please invite anyone you wish to join us for warm tea and winter themed snacks in communiTea!
Please come with a notebook, a pen, and your own water bottle. Tea and snacks will be served as usual. Please arrive on time— we will open the doors at 7:45PM for tea time and then begin the main program after promptly after Isha, insha’Allah.
We welcome all members of our community over 21 to attend this event! As we provide free tea and snacks, we ask that if you are able, to please purchase a ticket and/or gift a donation to allow us to keep this event free and accessible to ADAMS Young Adults and Young Professionals! May Allah SWT reward you all and may He continue to protect and bless our community.
