Join us for a joyous evening of community and spirituality as we break fast together during the blessed month of Ramadan. This gathering is for converts and their immediate families only.

We are pleased to announce that Professor Joel Hayward, a New Zealand-born British scholar and author who currently serves as Chief Executive of the Cambridge Muslim College, will join us each week. From about an hour before Maghrib he will lecture on the Sirah (the Prophet PBUH’s biography).

 Prof. Hayward is considered to be one of “the world’s five hundred most influential Muslims,” with his listing in both the 2023 and 2024 editions of The Muslim 500 noting that “he weaves together classical Islamic knowledge and methodologies and the source-critical Western historical method to make innovative yet carefully reasoned sense of complex historical issues that are still important in today’s world.” With the title of Shaykh, Hayward has earned ijazat (teaching authorisations) in several Islamic sciences. ‘Aqidah (Islamic theology) and Sirah are his main interests.
