THE PROGRAM​

The word used to describe the word is tabahhur, which means to dive deeply, or immerse one's self. It is a fitting description for a serious program meant to train the next generation of Muslim scholars in America. This program is the most authentic representation of how ilm was passed down from generation to generation. The program is centered around mashayikh who took the tradition at the foot of the giants: scholars like Habib Umar bin Hafiz, Murabit al-Hajj, Shaykh Samir Al-Nass, and others, who took the tradition from their teachers, all the way back to the Beloved ﷺ.

   Safina Society began with the Sunday 'Uwaylim Scholarship Track class, taught by Dr. Shadee Elmasry at the New Brunswick Islamic Center. Darul Fath is the extension of that initiative, diving deeper into the world of scholarship for those whose commitment has solidified and matured. While instruction is in English, we use Arabic texts that have been studied throughout the ages across the umma.
