Pearls of the Qur'an Trailer - Watch Now

The Pearls of the Qur'an Conference returns this year! Join our leading scholars as they examine both the external and internal dimensions of the Qur'an and share their commentary and insights in Al-Madina's Annual Pearls of the Qur'an conference.

With Difficulty Comes Ease - Shaykh Yasir Fahmy

What is our attitude when we face difficulties?

Who do we look to and what do we do?

Rising After The Fall

Allah defines us as a community, not as a community of sinners, but as a community of repenters. Ustadha Muslema Purmul gives a beautiful insight into how we can always work through our mistakes and find our way back.

Sticks and Stones

When toxic speech can now spread worldwide by simply pressing a button, understanding the lasting impact of our words has never been more important. While different forms of communication and interaction continue to evolve, guarding the tongue remains an essential characteristic of a healthy spiritual life.

The Art of Contemplation

What made a man like Steven Hawking, epitomize disbelief? Was he not endued with understanding? Could he not be contemplative? Can scientific knowledge be the final arbiter of truth?

Getting Through The Pain

We all go through tough times in life, some more than others. How we deal with those challenges will shape our lives forever.

Your Ego Will Destroy You!

Our unchecked egos will surely lead us astray. But how do we overcome the tribulations of the nafs? Shaykh Yasir Fahmy discusses ways that we can overcome our lower selves and methods to prevent our egos from destroying us.

The Next Generation

"I raised you like I raised an army of men." The words of Dr. Zainab's late father who raised her and her sister. How can we raise the next generation to be an example for humanity?

Is the Qur'an Inspiration or Instruction?

Do we approach the Quran as we do quotes.com, one-line facebook posts, and tweets? What did Imam Omar Suleiman learn when he challenged a pastor? Why is inspiration and instruction from religion both important?

Program Details

The early-bird registration fee is $119 per person until August 29th 11:59PM EST. Starting August 30th, the registration fee will increase to $149 per person.
