About The Workshop
During each day of this workshop Shaikh Sajid Umar will take you through the inner meanings of Surah Al-Asr and give participants a taste of the Arabic language. The purpose of this workshop is to increase awareness of the beauty and intricacies of the Quranic language as well as convey the seemingly simple words of divine guidance in Surah Al Asr which tell us how to live our entire lives. Numerous books with tens of thousands of words cannot say as much as is contained in these three short verses. There are many laws, rules and regulations that appear throughout the Qur’an as items of specific direction and teaching, but this early Surah is much grander in scale and broadly embraces the fundamental character and moral values that are essential for the truly righteous life. In other words, this small Surah shows us “the big picture,” and undoubtedly anyone who truly understands and lives by its ideals will be moved toward the straight path leading to a life of fulfillment and happiness both in this world and in the Hereafter.
