Islamic Essentials Course

This two-year Islamic course is specifically designed for brothers and sisters wishing to study core Islamic subjects. Delivered in English, this comprehensive course will equip mature students with knowledge and deep understanding of Islam.

The course content has been carefully selected so that key topics are studied and essential subjects covered in a short period of time. The course will be delivered once a week for 1 ½ hours.

Lessons are delivered in English and will cover the study of the following subjects:

• Translation and Commentary of the Holy Qur’an
• Study of Fiqh

On completion of this course students will have attained a sound understanding of the core tenets of Islam, which will equip them to meet the challenges of modern-day life as a Muslim without compromising their religion.

The course will help Muslim brothers and Sisters to learn about Islam from a foundation level to a higher level providing them with knowledge and understanding of Islam. This will enable students to conduct their life in accordance with the commands of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ

We understand the demands of modern life and the busy lifestyle we live so we have deliberately kept lessons short but focused and rich but not overwhelming, ensuring that only very limited study outside of lessons is required.

Hajj course

Introducing the Weekly Hajj Course: Unlocking the Spiritual Journey

Study the spiritual and practical method of Hajj in an interactive course with Shaikh Hamzah at Greenbank Masjid.

Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and fardh upon every sane Muslim adult who has the ability to perform Hajj.

Allah Most High says,
‎وَلِلّٰهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الۡبَيۡتِ مَنِ اسۡتَطَاعَ اِلَيۡهِ سَبِيۡلًا ؕ
‎وَمَنۡ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَنِىٌّ عَنِ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏

Pilgrimage to the House is a duty owed to Allah by all who can make their way to it. As for those who refuse to follow His command, surely Allah does not stand in need of anything.

Quran 3:97

For most of us, performing Hajj is a once in a lifetime opportunity

The importance of Hajj and the fact that we might only get one shot at it makes it even more crucial that we get Hajj right.

When: Every Monday after Maghrib

Where: Greenbank Masjid, Castle Green Building, Greenbank Road, Bristol, BS5 6HE
