Ihya Gathering

 

Our Ihya gathering takes place once a week. It features, Qu’ran recitation, Nasheeds, talks and a weekly workshop on how to improve understanding and remove misconceptions of Islam within our workplaces and communities.

The focal point of the gathering is the recitation of the aurad (Khatme-Khwajjagan). Some of the blessings derived from this are; faith is strengthened; trials, tribulations and afflictions are warded off; goodness is achieved and God’s gifts are attained.

The gathering is concluded with a supplication (du’a) conducted by the Ameer of Kanz ul Huda,

Pir Muhammad Saqib Iqbal Shami.

TIME: 3:00pm (prompt) till Maghrib Salaah.

VENUE: 108 Newton Road, Birmingham, B11 4PS.
