Quran Intensive

There is something really amazing about sitting with other students who all have remarkable stories of how they got here - individuals trying to learn something and better themselves. People come together from far and wide and start off as strangers, but very quickly become family as if you've known them your whole life. I've had the honor of meeting some of the most remarkable people at Quran Intensive, people who have impressed me and continue to inspire me. Every year over the last six years, I am increasingly involved in teaching and working with educational programs. However, no matter what I have been doing all year, I look forward to Quran Intensive and being in that classroom again. Please note: Quran Intensive is a month long program from July 7th to August 4th.

Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda and Ustadh AbdelRahman Murphy have had the privilege of traveling with Qalam quite a bit, Alhamdulillah. Their trips are always filled with good fun, great food, and unforgettable memories. As Ustadh AbdelRahman Murphy gears up for his Qalam Spain trip inshaAllah, we want to take a moment to reflect on some stories from our travels with ya'll. Some stories are a little sad. Or funny. Or surprising. But all of them are special. And all of them exist because you make them possible. Save the date! We'll see you all on our Facebook page this Thursday iA.
