Who
Who
I am Atique Miah. A university and hospital Imam and Chaplain and have been since 2016 and 2017, respectively. In this time I have come across so many people- all on different stages of the journey of deen and dunya. I am also an Islamic Faith Consultant and have been asked to support schools- in Religious Education classes, holding assemblies and consulting on book publications. Supporting Gloucestershire SACRE I have developed applications for prayer facilities in workplaces and how to go about establishing these.
What
What
A series of 30min workshops.
*Fundamentals: you really will find this workshop useful as have so many around the world! Learn the basics of Islamic Faith, the foundations upon which the pillars of Islam are based. The stronger these foundations or roots of Faith are in one's life the stronger will be the pillars. So many people find it difficult to keep up with Salah, Fasting and Charity on a day to day basis, and that is sometimes because their conviction in the roots of Islamic Faith or Iman or not very strong or they are literally hanging by a thread! This 30min introduction is free and available for anyone

*Salah: We've all been there (if you're Muslim). Salah time comes and goes but I can't get the motivation to fulfil its basic 'requirements', because I feel like I am not good enough or practicing enough to stand before the The Lord of the Worlds. Anyway, what will happen if I don't do salah? I have been missing it all these years anyway, and I can't begin to think how I will ever make up all those missed salah! Why does Allah even need me to do Salah?! Allah will forgive me anyway, because he is indeed The Most Forgiving, The Most Merciful. What about when I do find time to complete salah, I can never keep my concentration- one minute I am 100% there...the next minute I can't even remember what surah I read in the last rakah or what number rakah I'm even on now. It takes far too much effort and head space for me to keep concentration even for a few minutes. The risks of getting it wrong far outweigh the benefits- if by any chance it is accepted?!
*Qur'an - Reflection like you have never done before! We will go really in-depth through the eight volume Ma'ariful Qur'an written by Mufti Muhammad Shafi. It will take time - so get ready for a long ride towards self-improvement.
*Seerah - How much do you know about the life of Prophet SAW? Most people talk about Rasulullah from when he was a Prophet, but you know that he was only a Prophet for 23 years? How did he spend the first 40 years of his life; without Qur'an without Islam; without Salah, and Fasting and Charity- the way we know Islam to be today? Join us on this journey of exploration.
*Recitation: Honestly, it used to take me half an hour to read through Surah Yaseen, because I stumbled so much, and struggled so much. And because of this stumbling and struggling, I often didn't even feel up to reading the Qur'an. I have practiced a lot and it now takes me 6 minutes! I enjoy reading and really miss hearing myself read. So I practiced- and that is exactly what I want to facilitate for you!
*Fasting: For years, and I mean decades- I fasted the wrong way. This short course will take a deeper look at your Ramadan and Fasting habits and help you make the most of this beautiful month.
*Family Life: Is hard at the best of times. So we have requested the expertise of a counsellor to help us navigate the maze and puzzles of marriage and bringing up children with tarbiyyah. (This does not replace therapy)
Why
Why
Far too many people have found Islam to be difficult. But it ain't meant to be!
Salah is often seen as nothing more than a chore, and a burden to get over and done with. Either that, or it is seen as something only for pious of practicing people- not for the likes of sinners or imperfect individuals like you and me. It is my job to make you aware that this is a false notion and you must realise the value of this wonderful blessing. For you to see it as something valuable and worthwhile. Another reason for me running this course- I used to read like a robot, just repeating the words and the motions without much thought into where I was or what I was doing. It was merely an opportunity for me to say "at least I've done my duty". I could easily have given up on salah because for many years, it was nothing more than a set of motions.
If your feelings resonate with these reflections, then these workshop are for you.
Target Group
Target Group
You're probably a Muslim who feels they're not very practicing and might experience feelings ranging from guilt, indifference or you might just feel non-committal with your ibaadah. If you find you are speeding through the few salah you do manage to complete, you don't feel it is going to be accepted (probably not). Or you are a Revert to Islam and when you first started your ibaadah, it was full of energy and enthusiasm- but soon that fizzled away and the daily grind of life took over.
These courses are either free or significantly reduced to make them more accessible to more people, but considerable time and resources go into preparing the workshops and seminars and to that end, any contributions to support the work of Atique Miah will be greatly appreciated. Atique has been working tirelessly to bring these workshop to you. Particularly if you find the workshop useful in your everyday life. You might want to become a sponsor by setting up regular monthly contributions in small amounts to help keep his work going. Sponsorship will mean your organisation gets coverage at the our workshop and in presentations. Clients that include local NHS and educational establishments, in and around Gloucestershire.
