By the Grace of Allah (swt), the second year of the Muballigheen Training Programme (MTP) at the Islamic Institute for Postgraduate Studies (IIPS), Sayyida Zainab (s), began on 6 September 2008. This year, six more students have joined the four year course in which students learn a wide range of traditional Islamic subjects in Arabic as well as gaining a Masters degree for modules completed in tailor-made modern academic subjects in English.

Letter from Syed Mourtada Mourtada

Hujjatul Islam wal Muslimeen, Sayyid Mourtadha Mourtadha is the founder of Madrasah al Rasul al-Akram, Nairobi. Today it is known as Al Rasul al akram Islamic Centre. He has been in the field of Tabligh in Africa particularly in Kenya for the last 24 years.

Born in Lebanon, he has studied in the hawdha of Najaf as well as Qum. A very effective teacher, many of the students trained by him as well as at the Madrasah Rasul al Akram are serving in different communities throughout Africa. Well liked by many because of his pleasant character, he believes in conveying the message by action rather than words.

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.
