Spirit of the Suhba Fellowship Program

Take a stroll with Moutasem Atiya as he catches Suhba Fellowship students off guard and starts testing their Arabic skills. Students from all across the world came together for a one year fellowship under the spiritual guidance of Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui to deep their connection with Allah and His Messenger (Peace be upon him), while also studying the Arabic language.

It's been more than a decade since we first started meeting in our family homes in Baltimore, Maryland. There was no organization, no brand, just a few young families gathering for the remembrance of God and the pursuit of knowledge. We invited a few learned men and women to teach us and after a short time the local community wanted to participate and asked us to bring our lessons to the local mosques.

In this video Shaykh Riad Saloojee describes his experiences having a Spiritual Mentor and the real life challenges met in trying to merge spirituality into everyday life.
