Islamic education and community association in Hamm
Together we learn Islam as the Prophet ﷺ taught it and as his Companions understood it. Explained simply, with evidence, and open to everyone who wants to learn.
Next classSun 15 Nov · 18:00Our approach
We hold to the Qur’an, the authentic Sunnah and the understanding of the Salaf – the first generations of Muslims. And we want everyone to feel at home with us.
We learn from the Qur’an and authentic narrations – as the Companions and the scholars after them understood them.
فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ
“If you disagree about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger.”
An-Nisa 4:59
No opinions without a basis. For every topic we show where the knowledge comes from – so you can follow it yourself.
قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
“Bring your proof, if you are truthful.”
Al-Baqarah 2:111
There are no silly questions. Ask during class, afterwards over tea, or quietly in private.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
“So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.”
An-Nahl 16:43
Everyone learns at their own pace. You don’t have to know anything, prove anything or commit to anything.
يَسِّرُوا وَلَا تُعَسِّرُوا، وَبَشِّرُوا وَلَا تُنَفِّرُوا
“Make things easy and do not make them hard. Give glad tidings and do not drive people away.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 69
خَيْرُ النَّاسِ قَرْنِي، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ
“The best of people are my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them.”
Weekly classes
Our classes rotate between three focus areas. Right now we are walking together through the life of the Prophet ﷺ – week by week.
Khadijah, Abu Bakr, Ali and Zayd: who were the first to believe in the Prophet ﷺ – and what can we learn from them?
The Prophet ﷺ begins calling to Islam openly. How did Quraysh react – and how did he stay firm?
The persecution of the first Muslims: the stories of Bilal, Sumayyah and Yasir – and what steadfastness means today.
Why the first Muslims sought refuge with the just king An-Najashi – and what we learn from it.
The series continues. We announce the exact topic shortly before on Telegram.

Community
Knowledge grows best among good friends. That’s why we also eat, pray, laugh and play together.
Here you’ll find brothers who are there for you, support you and remind you of what is good.
After class we often stay together – over food, tea and good conversations.
We pray Fajr together and have breakfast afterwards. A calm, blessed start to the day.
We regularly play football together. No pressure to perform – just joy and respect.
Hiking, barbecues, day trips – we experience Allah’s creation together.
