The Prophet ﷺ for the Latter Days: Planting the Prophetic Seedling
PRESIDENT HAMZA YUSUF

The greatest blessing our Creator has bestowed upon all of humanity is the birth and prophethood of His Beloved ﷺ. For us, he is the noblest of all creation, the perfect guide, and the greatest hope for the impoverished. He is the bashir and nadir, the bearer of glad tidings and a warner of the catastrophe of disbelief and disobedience. He gave us a clear description of the end times along with definitive guidance on how to navigate through the immense tribulation. As we now witness many of the signs that the Prophet ﷺ described hundreds of years ago, the time to hasten to goodness and prophetic guidance is all the more precious. Despite the despair and hopelessness that may surround us, our Prophet ﷺ commanded us to plant the seedling, even if moments from the Final Hour.

Join us on campus Saturday, October 14th for our special Rabi al-Awwal live program, The Prophet ﷺ for the Latter Days with President Hamza Yusuf. Guests will have the opportunity to tour the campus and share a meal before the lecture begins. Space is limited so register now!

If you can’t make it in person, the lecture will be streamed live on our YouTube channel.

The Forgotten Fourth
DR. ALI ATAIE

The Hadith Jibril remains one of the most studied hadith due to its succinct summation of Islam as belief and practice. The latter part of the hadith reveals two important signs of when the [Last] Hour is imminent. This talk will discuss the signs and warnings foretold by the Messenger of God ﷺ, many of which have already revealed themselves.

The Light of Guidance in the Latter Days: Part I
DR. ASAD TARSIN

At a time when the darkness of ignorance has cast its shadow more than ever before, humanity yearns for a guiding light that awakens the mind and illuminates the heart. The intensity and speed of change has left many of us bewildered at what lies ahead, and despite the great strides in technology, commerce, and globalization, we find ourselves in an unprecedented state of privation. Our Prophet ﷺ warned his community of the tumult ahead and left two anchors that will never fail: the Book of Allah and the sunnah of His Beloved ﷺ. Join us in this inspiring talk that will provide practical and actionable advice on how to navigate the storms ahead.
