Thaqalayn Course
A Ziyarah and Educational Trip
Embark on the journey of knowledge and spirituality
- Thaqalayn course is an intensive in-person course that will explore various topics related to Islam. It has been designed not only for youth but also those families who are seeking to deepen their understanding of Islam and want to learn more about the teachings of the Quran and Ahl-ul-Bayt (A.S).
- The course will cover principles of faith, faith in action, and everyday ethics of life. We will also have sessions on the Islamic rulings (ahkam) so the participants get more familiar with their everyday Islamic rulings. A special Tajwid program is also part of this course, so the students get a good command of recitation of the holy Quran.
- This course is perfectly timed for Arbaeen walk. Complete your course, begin your Arbaeen Walk. Our 2-week program is timed perfectly, ending just before the Arbaeen pilgrimage, allowing you to transition directly from intense study in Qom to the spiritual climax in Karbala.
