The passage below is taken straight from AlMaghrib's website (www.almaghrib.org):
We started up in 2002 with a simple question - how could we teach you Islam in a way that was fun, social, spiritual, and oh yeah, academic? We asked around, and it turned out people wanted teachers who knew their stuff, but didn't turn learning Islam into a snoozefest, and they didn't want endless weeks of lectures
. We listened, and built AlMaghrib around engaging instructors, double- and single-weekend seminars, and professional multimedia materials. Since that time, you've responded in large numbers, asking us to establish chapters (also known as Qabeelahs) in cities worldwide, and we've taught Islamic Sciences to over 33,000 students who just can't get enough. With the blessings of Allah (SWT), AlMaghrib is now the leading Islamic Institute in the West teaching premiere Islamic education to the largest Islamic Sciences student body. Year by year, we’ve set the standard and launched exciting new projects, hired highly-specialized instructors, and raised the bar on how knowledge is not only sought... but loved! AlMaghrib is exceptionally selective about its instructors to ensure that all of them are fluent in the language of instruction. So we’ve made sure our seminars are taught by highly specialized scholars and educators who are among the best in their field. Take the website for a spin: discover our seminars, explore the curriculum, find out about our high-impact projects, log in to your MyAlMaghrib Student Portal, and hey – why not enjoy what students are currently raving about, AlMaghrib WebTV. AlMaghrib is a non-profit organization. Ultimately, the purpose of AlMaghrib Institute is to make people better Muslims and bring people closer to Allah, and thereby, equip them to serve their communities and humanity at large. AlMaghrib runs on the backs of a highly committed team of staff, instructors, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers worldwide. This powerful well-oiled engine runs around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The vision of AlMaghrib Institute is to become the largest and most beneficial learning system in the history of Ummat Muhammad (). We envision our learning system entering every nation of the world, and being accessible to all people who seek to gain a deeper understanding of Islam. Our purpose is to educate the masses and raise leaders from among them who will serve their communities and humanity at large.
