Sujood (Prostration) Seminar

In collaboration with Al-Ameen Islamic Organizaation, VicMuslims Club have conducted a seminar program entitled Prostration or in Arabic, Sujood.

Sujood word meaning prostration to God (Allah) in the direction of the Kaabah at Mecca which is usually done during the daily prayers. While in sujood, a Muslim is to praise and glorify Allah. In the seminar, Shaikh Ahsan even said that the closest state that you can be with Allah is when you are prostrating.  

We have invited Shaykh Ahsan Hanif (PhD) as our honour and great speaker for the Seminar. He is the Head of the Qur’an and Hadeeth Sciences Department at AlMaghrib Institute. Sh. Ahsan graduated with honours from the Faculty of Shari'ah from the Islamic University of Madinah. He has also obtained an ijazah in Qur'an memorization as well as studied under a number of well-known scholars, such as Sh. Abdul Muhsin al-Abbad and Sh. Muhammad ibn Muhammad Mukhtar al-Shinqiti. Sh. Ahsan has also recently completed his PhD in Islamic Law from the University of Birmingham.

Currently, he is doing tour in Australia and New Zealand to give talk about Islam.

There were two sessions of seminar on that day which delivered in different contents. The first session will talk about ‘Be from Those Who Prostate’ and the second session will share about ‘Who was the family of Imran’. No fee is charged for participation in the Seminar.
