Seerah - Year-Long Program
Join us virtually for Alima Mehreen's year-long program, designed to enlighten you with understanding of the Makkan seerah.
Overview
Before Islam became a global light, it was a small flame struggling to survive in the heart of Makkah. These were years of ridicule, boycott, and hardship—yet also years where courage was forged, hearts were purified, and the foundation of an Ummah was laid.
This virtual class, takes you into the Makkan period of the Seerah: a journey of resilience, patience, and the quiet strength that carried the first believers through unimaginable trials.
It is not just history—it’s a mirror and a spiritual reminder that true change is born in struggle, and that perseverance is the seed of victory.
