“Just as the blood revives the
mind and circulates through
the body and to the heart, the
same analogy can be used for
those individuals who revive
the nations of people, reboosting
the society around them by
regenerating the minds and
intellects.” (Shaykh Haytham Tamim)
This one day course will look at the concept of ‘revivalism
and how certain individuals from the past and present have
made a significant change to the society at large. Renewal known
as Arabic as Tajdeed is bound by certain conditions and limits.
This course will unravel many revivalists from the past and
present who have made a noteworthy contribution to the world
we live in today. Revivalism in Islam is to come back to
the true spirit of the faith through facing many challenges
and obstacles.

• Students will feel encouraged to make change
and apply what they have learnt practically by
looking at the revivalists who have made an impact on our world.
• To improve their quality in conduct and character.
• To feel motivated to make change by looking at those
in the past and present who are known as revivalists.
• To understand how to face challenges and obstacles
and not be deterred from striving to make change

and not those role models who can mislead us in the present age.

Wassalaam 'alaikum wa rahmatullaah.
- The blessed Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned
that 'The believer who recites the Qur'an and applies
it is like the utrujja (fruit), whose smell is fragrant
and taste is sweet .' (Bukhari)
Utrujj is based upon the teachings of the above Hadith in
seeking to equip you with the sacred knowledge of Islam,
while simultaneously training you in it's implementation in
your daily lives. As a result of this dynamic approach your
personality should insh'Allah come to personify this
sacred knowledge.
The change this creates will be witnessed by those around you
as they smell the sweet fragrance of your good speech and taste
the sweetness of your exemplary actions. Such a change within
individuals is critical in realising our covenant with Allah and for the
spreading of Islam, especially here in the West.
