Fasting is one of the pillars of Islam and an effective means for fostering our relationship with Allah Almighty and for enhancing our empathy of less fortunate people in the world.

Zakah is a humanitarian device given to us by Allah Almighty by which we can help the poor and needy. Classical textbooks explained Zakah for their respective eras.

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and one of the duties of every Muslim. Every person dreams to not only perform Hajj but for Allah to accept it too because the reward of an accepted Hajj is that the person’s sins are forgiven and they are restored to a state of purity; just like the day they were born.

Taught by Ustadh Muhammad Ali. Starting Saturday 4th March 11:30am to 12:15pm in Manchester (Manchester Communication Academy, Silchester Drive, M40 8NT).
