SUMMARY:Secrets of Divine Love Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Starting Saturday\, August 20th\, MCC will be hosting a Secrets of Divine Love book club/discussion group every other Saturday evening.  Join us as we collectively strive toward mindfully opening our hearts to Allah’s love for us and our love for Allah.  Each chapter contains its own exercises that will serve as the focal point for our discussions and each chapter stands alone so you can attend any session that is convenient for you without the need to ‘catch up’. \nThe first session will be abridged and focus simply on the Introduction\, the Reading with an Open Heart preface and set the stage for future discussions for those who hope to attend all or most of the sessions and follow the progression.\nThis book club will be held every other week for a Saturday Book Club discussing the internationally acclaimed book by A. Helwa\, Secrets of Divine Love. Each session will cover a chapter and will include group discussions\, reflections\, and exercises from the book. The discussion takes place every Saturday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and in Summer ’22 runs from Saturday\, August 20 2022 to Saturday\, March 4\, 2023.  \nRSVP for the registration at https://mcceastbay.org/divine-love-bookclub. RSVP is requested. \nSaturdays | August 20 to March 4 | Conference Room | In-person only. \nDisclaimer \nThis book club is intended to stimulate thought and reflection\, not teach deen. It is NOT a fiqh or aqidah class. The book contains various references and concepts that do not align with traditional Islamic scholarship on those subjects. If any participant has any questions about what scholars say about any of the concepts mentioned in the book or discussed in the book club meetings\, we strongly recommend consulting a scholar they know and trust and/or forwarding those questions to the organizers of the book club so that we can get guidance from a scholar and share that guidance with the group. \nWe intended to approach the abstract ideas found in this book as thought experiments and the exercises as cardio for the spiritual heart. Nothing in the book or book club meetings should be viewed as replacing\, undermining\, or contradicting traditional Islamic scholarship in any way.\nDiscussion Group Guidelines \n\n-Everyone has something to say\, everyone has something to learn\n\n-Shy people encouraged to contribute\n-Talkative people encouraged to restrain themselves\n\n\n-Confidentiality\n\n-Do not share people’s reflections outside of the group.  Can say stuff like “somebody in my book club made me think (this or that) about (this or that)”\, but not “(so and so) said …”\n\n\n-70 excuses\n\n-Give your sisters/brothers every benefit of the doubt as far as their intention with whatever they say\, particularly what you may disagree with\n\n\n-‘Dinner after’\n\n-If you have differences of opinion during the discussion\, remember the intention is beneficial learning that we are all working together to achieve.  So you leave those differences of opinion at the door when we’re done and still be ready to go to dinner after with people you may have disagreed with (see 70 excuses rule)\n\n\n-Be chill\n\n-Emotional subject matter requires conscious intention to remain emotionally intelligent and not let ourselves get carried away.  Particularly the brothers\, don’t get aggressive or excited\, appropriate adab with each other and with our sisters is required\n\n\n\nClass Schedule: \n\n-Intro\n\n-Aug 20\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 1 – Allah\n\n-Sep 3\, 2022\n\n\nChapter 2 – Humanity \n\n-Sep 17\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 3 – Qur’an\n\n-Oct 1\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 4 – Islam/Iman/Ihsan\n\n-Oct 15\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 5 – Tawba\n\n-Oct 29\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 6 – Shahadah\n\n-Nov 12\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 7 – Salat\n\n-Dec 3\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 8 – Zakat\n\n-Dec 17\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 9 – Ramadan\n\n-Jan 7\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 10 – Hajj\n\n-Jan 21\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 11 – Death\n\n-Feb 4\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 12 – Heaven and Hell\n\n-Feb 18\, 2023\n\n\n-Conclusion\n\n-Mar 4\, 2023\n\n\n\nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, please purchase the book.

SUMMARY:Secrets of Divine Love Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Starting Saturday\, August 20th\, MCC will be hosting a Secrets of Divine Love book club/discussion group every other Saturday evening.  Join us as we collectively strive toward mindfully opening our hearts to Allah’s love for us and our love for Allah.  Each chapter contains its own exercises that will serve as the focal point for our discussions and each chapter stands alone so you can attend any session that is convenient for you without the need to ‘catch up’. \nThe first session will be abridged and focus simply on the Introduction\, the Reading with an Open Heart preface and set the stage for future discussions for those who hope to attend all or most of the sessions and follow the progression.\nThis book club will be held every other week for a Saturday Book Club discussing the internationally acclaimed book by A. Helwa\, Secrets of Divine Love. Each session will cover a chapter and will include group discussions\, reflections\, and exercises from the book. The discussion takes place every Saturday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and in Summer ’22 runs from Saturday\, August 20 2022 to Saturday\, March 4\, 2023.  \nRSVP for the registration at https://mcceastbay.org/divine-love-bookclub.

It is NOT a fiqh or aqidah class. The book contains various references and concepts that do not align with traditional Islamic scholarship on those subjects. If any participant has any questions about what scholars say about any of the concepts mentioned in the book or discussed in the book club meetings\, we strongly recommend consulting a scholar they know and trust and/or forwarding those questions to the organizers of the book club so that we can get guidance from a scholar and share that guidance with the group. \nWe intended to approach the abstract ideas found in this book as thought experiments and the exercises as cardio for the spiritual heart. Nothing in the book or book club meetings should be viewed as replacing\, undermining\, or contradicting traditional Islamic scholarship in any way.\nDiscussion Group Guidelines \n\n-Everyone has something to say\, everyone has something to learn\n\n-Shy people encouraged to contribute\n-Talkative people encouraged to restrain themselves\n\n\n-Confidentiality\n\n-Do not share people’s reflections outside of the group.  Can say stuff like “somebody in my book club made me think (this or that) about (this or that)”\, but not “(so and so) said …”\n\n\n-70 excuses\n\n-Give your sisters/brothers every benefit of the doubt as far as their intention with whatever they say\, particularly what you may disagree with\n\n\n-‘Dinner after’\n\n-If you have differences of opinion during the discussion\, remember the intention is beneficial learning that we are all working together to achieve.  So you leave those differences of opinion at the door when we’re done and still be ready to go to dinner after with people you may have disagreed with (see 70 excuses rule)\n\n\n-Be chill\n\n-Emotional subject matter requires conscious intention to remain emotionally intelligent and not let ourselves get carried away.  Particularly the brothers\, don’t get aggressive or excited\, appropriate adab with each other and with our sisters is required\n\n\n\nClass Schedule: \n\n-Intro\n\n-Aug 20\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 1 – Allah\n\n-Sep 3\, 2022\n\n\nChapter 2 – Humanity \n\n-Sep 17\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 3 – Qur’an\n\n-Oct 1\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 4 – Islam/Iman/Ihsan\n\n-Oct 15\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 5 – Tawba\n\n-Oct 29\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 6 – Shahadah\n\n-Nov 12\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 7 – Salat\n\n-Dec 3\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 8 – Zakat\n\n-Dec 17\, 2022\n\n\n-Chapter 9 – Ramadan\n\n-Jan 7\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 10 – Hajj\n\n-Jan 21\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 11 – Death\n\n-Feb 4\, 2023\n\n\n-Chapter 12 – Heaven and Hell\n\n-Feb 18\, 2023\n\n\n-Conclusion\n\n-Mar 4\, 2023\n\n\n\nBook Purchase: \nIf you wish to follow along with the book\, please purchase the book.

For the one who sometimes spirals into hopelessness and cannot help but feel too imperfect for a perfect God to love. This book is for the one who is at the edge of their faith\, who has experienced religion as a harsh winter instead of the life-bearing spring it was sent to be by God. \nSecrets of Divine Love serves as a compass and guiding light that returns you to the source of divine peace and surrender. Through the practices and pillars of Islam\, you will learn how to unlock your spiritual potential and unveil your divine purpose. A.

She was honored to receive Ijaazah (authorization to teach) several branches of the Shari’ah sciences at the hands of many renowned scholars\, including many female scholars. She has received Ijazah to teach Tajwid in the Hafs and Warsh recitations from the late eminent Syrian scholar Shaykh Abu Hassan al-Kurdi.

He went on to study in the United States where he qualified in internal medicine. \n\n\n\nThe Shaykh has studied under some of the great ‘ulama of the Levant (Shaam) and the Arabian peninsula. He has a traditional license to teach (ijazah) in the ten styles of recitation of the narration of the Shatibiyyah and the Durra from the world-renowned Shaykh Muhammad Sukkar. He received an ijazah in the ten styles of recitation of the narration of Tayyibah from the Egyptian Shaykh Ahmad Mustafa in Riyadh\, Saudi Arabia\, himself a student of Shaykh Abd al-Aziz al-Zayyat of Egypt. Shaykh Samer has a traditional license to teach (ijazah) in Islamic law (fiqh) and theology and creed (‘aqida) from Shaykh Lutfi al-Fayumi and the late Hanafi Mufti\, Shaykh Adib al-Kallas. He also studied with the previous Mufti of Syria\, Shaykh Abu Yusr Ibn `Abidin. Shaykh Samer was honoured to study hadith in Mecca with the great Indonesian-Meccan Shaykh Yasin al-Fadani\, and with Shaykh Nur ud-din `Itr of Syria. He also has an ijazah in Prophetic traditions (hadith) from the late Shaykh `Abd Allah Siraj al-Din of Aleppo\, Syria. \n\n\n\nShaykh Samer is presently a teacher at Ma’had al-Fatih al-Islami in Damascus\, teaching the Hanafi fiqh manual Al-Hidayah in the department of Islamic Law (Shariah)\, and lecturer on the ten recitations of the Qur’an in the MA program. The Shaykh teaches Qur’anic recitation (tajwid) after fajr prayers daily in the blessed mosque of Shaykh Ibn `Arabi\, a post given to him by his Shaykh and father-in-law\, one of the illustrious Shaykhs of Quran in the Levant (Sham)\, the late Shaykh Muhammad Sukkar. Shaykh Samer has been teaching at various Islamic studies intensive courses in England and North America since 2000. \n\n\n\nAbout the Book:The Book Of Wisdoms [Kitab al-Hikam with Ikmal al-Shiyam]A Collection of Sufi Aphorisms with a Commentary \n\n\n\nMuslim religious life not only consists of belief in orthodox tenets of faith and a determined effort to follow the Sacred Law\, it also requires one to scale the heights of the spiritual path. The Kitab al-Hikam of Shaykh Ibn ‘Ata’illah al-Iskandari is the inspiring explanation of the soul’s journey through this life\, as determined through the Qur’an and Sunna. Along with his treatises and intimate discourses (munajat)\, the substantive feature of the work is the author’s 264 spiritual aphorisms (hikam)­—concise\, comprehensive and sublime sayings on self purification (tazkiya)\, and guidelines to help strengthen the relationship between humans and their Lord. These aphorisms\, which have never failed to inspire\, are presented in this edition according to the systematic arrangement of the great Indian scholar Shaykh ‘Ali Muttaqi (d. 975/1567)\, together with the indispensable commentary of the twentieth-century sage Shaykh ‘Abdullah Gangohi. \n\n\n\nAbout Ata’Allah Iskandari \n\n\n\nTaj ad-Din Abu’l-Fadl Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abd al-Karim b. Ata’ Allah al-Iskandari\, al-Judhami ash-Shadhili\, known simply as Ibn ‘Ata’ Allah\, was born in Alexandria\, Egypt\, as his nisbah indicates\, about the middle of the seventh/thirteenth century. His family were renowned Maliki scholars from the Banu Judham tribe\, originally from Arabia. His grandfather\, Abd al-Karim (d. 612 AH/1216 AD) had distinguished himself as an expert in fiqh\, usul (principles of jurisprudence)\, and Arabic\, having studied under the famous Abu’l-Hasan al-Abyari. He had written several books\, among which were al-Bayin wa’t-Taqrib fi Sharh at-Tahdhib\, Mukhtasar at-Tahdhib\, and Mukhtasar al-Mufassal\, and had been very hostile to Sufism. \n\n\n\n\nPast Shaykh Samer video recordings: https://mcceastbay.org/samer\n\n\n\n\nNothing is complicated\, if you seek it through your Lord; nothing is easy\, if you seek it. – Ibn Ata Allah
