The greatest sign of the prophethood of the Seal of Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Qur’an. In his session, Shaykh Elshinawy goes into how we can use the intellectual truth of the Qur’an, in tandem with our own personal experience, to increase our Iman.

It’s natural to have conviction in God, but for some, having conviction that He sent a particular person to be His messenger is a tall claim. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy delves into the proofs of the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ - from the ethnical and historical necessity of the coming of the final Prophet, to the brilliance of his message, the fruits of his teachings, his character, and his miracles.

When it is best to speak up? When it is best remain silent? In today’s time, there is immense pressure placed on us to speak our minds and share our opinions. However, as we learned through the stories of the Prophets, there is a wisdom behind one’s speech and one’s silence. There is a fine balance between being oppressed by remaining silent and oppressing others by speaking up. Often times we are in conflict in regards to what decision to make. Through the story of Prophet Suleiman AS, we observe an ant speak up in front of the noble Prophet of Allah SWT. This action, though it may seem insignificant, was then relayed in the Quran for all of humanity to take lessons from. Why was the ant honored in this way? We are excited to host Shaykh Mohammad Elshinawy for a seminar Between Ants and Men: The Art of Speaking Up and Remining Silent where we will use Quranic examples to understand the etiquette of standing up for ourselves and others and remaining silent in front of those who are deserving of it
