The Shamail 2023 Online Class - Complete Year Bundle

This is the complete 4-Quarter 2023 Shamail course bundle with recordings. It will be a total of 40 classes, insha'Allah. 

Imam al-Tirmidhi's Al-Shama’il al-Muhammadiyya contains 414 Hadith that together present a detailed description of the moral, physical and spiritual qualities of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Over 40 sessions spanning the 12 months of 2023, Shaykh Ahmed El Azhary will guide us through a close reading of the entire Shama'il.

An ijazah will be granted from Shaykh Ahmed Elazhary to all students who study all four quarters and attend the recital. This ijazah will link students to Imam al-Tirmidhi and, thereon, to Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ. 

During these 40 sessions, Shaykh Ahmed El Azhary will guide us through a close reading of the Shama'il. This course is designed to give you the following:

• Deep knowledge of the character, behaviour, and personal qualities of Allah's Messenger ﷺ
• Understanding of why knowledge of the character of the Prophet ﷺ is central for all areas of the religion
  
• Enriched appreciation for the world and the worldview of the Companions رضي الله عنهم and the Early Generations of Muslims
• Renewed and strengthened love for Allah's Messenger ﷺ, knowledge of him, and desire to see him in this life and the Next

Understanding the Shama’il is absolutely critical to any proper understanding of Islam, for it details the qualities of the message-bearer, which fundamentally alters how we understand the message he brought.
