Alhamdulillah! Allah (SWT) has indeed blessed me with the opportunity
to be a part of this experience. It has been a full week for me here in
the city of Sayyida Zainab  , and what a week it has been. I
have experienced everything from the beauty and magnificence of the
Haram, to driving with a driver on the wrong side of the road! Coming
from the west it has been a quite a culture shock, however every minute
of it has been an eye-opening realization and experience.

As the very first classes of the MTP in the proximity of Sayyida Zaynab as commence, I can not but help but reflect on the close connection between
the Ulema and the Khoja Shia Itnaasheri Community over the last 150
years.

Divine guidance is vital for human survival. This fact is categorically
stated in the Quran: “Indeed, we have guided him to the way, be he
grateful or ungrateful”( 76:3).
Such a guidance come in two mutually inclusive forms, namely the
external guidance and the internal guidance.

This programme is another milestone in the history of the Khoja Shia
Ithna Asheri Muslim Community. Building on the proud traditions of
continuous contact and spiritual guidance from our Ulama, the community
now feels the need to establish its own Institute of higher learning in
order to produce scholars with the skills and knowledge to be even more
effective within a changing world.

Just two years back, in September 2005, we met at Latimer Conference
Centre and discussed many issues, one of which was the training of
Muballigheen to serve the community. If my memory serves me right, the
majority of the participants wanted a 4-5 year academic programme that
would inter-twine ‘traditional’ study with some modern elements. Many
felt the first phase should be in Qum, although others were open to the
first phase being conducted in either Qum, Syria or Lebanon, but
stressed the importance of maintaining traditional study, followed by
training in modern methods of delivery.

The Conference took place on 26-27 August 2007 in Staverton, UK.
In my short life, I have witnessed too many meetings that were more
talk than resulting action. However, having seen and been involved in
well-facilitated seminars that are more action and resolutions rather
than endless discussions, I was under no doubt that the MTP Mini
Conference should follow the same format with short, pertinent
presentations and facilitated round table discussions.

In the past I have researched several options at Islamic institutes in both, the UK and abroad, and have struggled to find any that appreciated the entire requirements of graduates born and educated in the west. I believe that this course is unique, in that it provides the fundamental platform for a life’s vocation that I have had aspirations for as far back as I can remember.

Alhamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen. We are very excited to be part of this Program that will Insha-Allah improve the direction of our communities in the future. More than that, we are looking forward to being part of the first batch of students who Insha-Allah will shape this course making it easier for the rest of the students who decide to embark on this journey. We know that it will not be all smooth sailing; however, we are confident in knowing that there will at least be a boat for us to sail on. Whatever else happens is now in the hands of Allah (SWT).
