PICTURES: SeekersGuidance Toronto Turns FIVE!
SeekersGuidance is as global as they come. Our staff and volunteers span the length and width of the globe, working above and beyond the call of duty to help bring reliable, traditional Islamic knowledge for free to everyone and anyone.
Much of this work happens out of our beautiful center in Toronto, Canada. SeekersGuidance Toronto opened its doors 5 years ago. Let’s look back at some of the highlights.
SeekersGuidance Toronto started off in humble premises – what we like to call Hub 1.0. It has expanded twice since in a natural progression towards establishing a full time seminary with ample multi-purpose space and facilities.
Thousands of hours of audio and video content is produced and uploaded online for free. Knowledge Without Barriers is a groundbreaking initiative giving access to all around the Greater Toronto Area as well as globally, access to sound, reliable Islamic knowledge taught by qualified scholars.
The Hub has hosted and engaged with some of the most respected scholars, teachers and activists of our time, including Habib Umar bin Hafidh, Shaykh Nuh Keller, Habib Kadhim Assaqqaf, Habib Ali al Jifri, Habib Hussein Assaggaff, Dr. Umar F Abdallah, Imam Zaid Shakir, Shaykh Ahmad Saad, Shaykh Yahya Rhodus, Shaykh Ninowy, Dr Ingrid Mattson, Shaykh Zahir Bacchus, Shaykh Ramzy Ajem, Shaykh Talal Ahdab, Anse Tamara Grey, Shaykha Muniba Muhammad, Shaykh Walead Mosaad, Dr Fuad Nahdi, Ustadh Amjad Tarsin and many others.
The Hub has been involved in several donations drives in an effort to lend assistance to the most needy and vulnerable in the Greater Toronto Area.
Once a year for the past three years, The Hub has undertaken a rural retreat, bringing together communities, strengthening bonds and reviving the sunnah of connecting with nature and seeking sacred knowledge.
