Join us for a reflective conversation with Shaykh Musab Penfound, whose life has been shaped by a sincere search for truth and knowledge. Growing up in Manchester, Shaykh Mus’ab embraced Islam at eighteen, beginning a journey that would take him far beyond his home. He shares how a deep pursuit of understanding led him to study Arabic and the Islamic sciences, a path that ultimately took him to Yemen, where living and learning in the Muslim world reshaped his understanding of faith, character, and spiritual growth. From this place of lived experience, Shaykh Mus’ab reflects on cultivating a genuine love for the Prophet ﷺ one that goes beyond a surface-level connection. He explores the Prophet’s balance of mercy and strength, and how he nurtured people from diverse backgrounds into individuals of deep faith. The conversation offers thoughtful guidance for converts navigating overwhelm, identity, and belonging, while emphasising how one can preserve a sense of self while growing closer to Allah. Shaykh Mus’ab also reflects on turning to the life of the Prophet ﷺ for steadiness and meaning during times of collective hardship. A conversation that invites deeper reflection, clarity of purpose, and a more rooted faith.

Mecca Books: Heaven Explored: A Description of Jannah: By Muhammad Ibn Alawi al-Maliki , Ahmad Shaist Khan (translator), Musab Penfound (translator):Imam Ghazali Institute

In a world increasingly driven by materialism and immediate gratification, Heaven Explored: A Description of Jannah offers a glimpse into the divine promise that awaits the faithful. This beautiful work by Sayyid Muhammad b. 'Alawi al-Maliki, translated into English by Shaykh Ahmad Shaist, unveils the Islamic vision of Jannah, a realm beyond human imagination. By compiling the numerous vivid descriptions of Jannah in the Qur'an and Hadith, this text brings the reader on a profound journey, which instills hope and provides both solace and much-needed perspective.

In his inimitable style, the late Sayyid weaves together the different descriptions and discusses them both as reality and as metaphors for spiritual fulfillment and eternal closeness to Allah, providing a nuanced understanding of the afterlife that transcends literal interpretations. "What No Eye Has Seen," or as rendered in this translation, “Heaven Explored”, is a compelling read for anyone interested in acquainting themselves with the nature of Jannah for the believers. This book is more than an academic treatise; it is a journey towards understanding the divine promise that lies at the heart of a believer’s journey to Allah – the promise of a Paradise beyond the limits of human imagination, meeting the Beloved of Allah ﷺ by the Pond, and seeing Allah, the Exalted.

Heaven Explored: A Description of Jannah goes beyond theological exploration, presenting Paradise as both a future abode and a guiding principle for living a righteous, purposeful life. In this edition, Sayyid Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki’s insights are brought to life through Shaykh Ahmad Shaist's meticulous translation, making the work accessible to a global English-speaking audience. As Sayyid Zain al-Haddad and Shaykh Musab Penfound write in the foreword, this work is "a beacon for those seeking to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Hereafter"

Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya ʿUlum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences) is one of the most important books of Islamic spirituality authored by the 11th century scholar, Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali. Our introductory classes explored the importance of the book, and how we can traverse the path of knowledge. The Revival Retreat is Nur Sa'aadah's annual retreat in the UK. This year we covered the Book of Knowledge from Imam al-Ghazali’s Ihya ʿUlum al-Din (The Revival of the Religious Sciences). We also held gatherings of remembrance, congregational prayers, and opportunities to benefit directly from our teachers through reflective and interactive sessions.
