On the authority of ‘A’isha’, the mother of the believers (Allah be pleased with her), the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said ‘The two [sunna] rakats of the Morning Prayer are better than the world and what it contains’ [Muslim].
‘A’isha’ (Allah be pleased with her) also said ‘The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) was not more diligent about performing any supererogatory prayer more than the two [sunna] rakats of the Morning Prayer’ [Bukhari & Muslim].

What is AlMaghrib Institute?
To study overseas is indeed a very enriching experience, but not everyone is blessed with such an opportunity. Our hectic schedules often sideline our in-depth study of Islam. It is for this reason that AlMaghrib Institute was established, and has dedicated itself to providing courses on Islam in a six-day, two weekend, intensive seminar format. These trademark double-weekend university-style seminars carry students toward a bachelor's degree in the Islamic Studies.
Following the 'seminar' style of education, AlMaghrib takes the traditional semester long course, beautifully condenses it into six days, and produces an Islamic educational experience that is unique. Our aim is to empower Muslims, two weekends at a time, to carry the message of Allah and His Messenger. Alhamdulillah, AlMaghrib Institute currently has the largest Islamic Studies student body in North America!
AlMaghrib seminars are fun, engaging, and information-packed. Seminars are presently conducted in over ten U.S. cities and four cities in Canada. Attending a seminar means being surrounded by energized students and being taught, live and in person, by an AlMaghrib certified instructor.
AlMaghrib Institute's admissions and enrollment policies do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, color, sex, age, disability, or other status protected by law. AlMaghrib Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization candidate.

The Best Description of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم
Our beloved Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم was the handsomest man, and the proof of this could be found from the description of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و سلم by Umm Ma'bad. Till date, it is one of the best description of Prophet Muhammad ,صلى الله عليه و سلم ever produced. Here is the translated version:
" I saw him to be a man of evident splendor; fine in figure; his face handsome, slim in form; his head not too small, elegant and good looking; his eyes large and black, his eyelids long; his voice deep, very intelligent; his brows high and arched; his hair in plates; his neck long and his beard thick. He gave an impression of dignity when silent and of high intelligence when he talked. His words were impressive and he was decisive, not trivial not right. His ideas like pearls moving on their string. He seemed the most splendid and fine looking man from a distance, and the very best of all from closeby; medium in hight, the eye not finding him too tall nor too short. A tree branch as it were between the two others, but he was the finest looking of the three, the best proportioned. He was the center of his companions’ attention. When he spoke they listened well, and if he ordered they hurried to obey. A man well helped, well served, never solemn, never refuted."

[Hadith]
Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, radi Allahu 'anhu, reported that theProphet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said,"The example of a good companion and a bad one is the bearer of musk and the worker on the fires. A bearer of musk would give you some, you might buy some from him, or you might enjoy the fragrance of his musk. The worker on the fires, on the otherhand, might spoil your clothes with sparks from his bellows, or you get a bad smell from him." Bukhari and Muslim
[Lessons from this Hadith]
Who are the top 5 people you hang out with? List them. Now lookat their qualities and you'll notice that you are a product ofthe sum of them. Do they have the outstanding qualities that youseek? If not, then it's time to find some bearers of musk thatyou can truly smell great from.
With best wishes to see you succeed at the highest level!
