Event Description

I am better than him. [Sratl-Arf: 12]

And so it began. Shayns (Ibls, the Devil) animosity for mankind erupted from merely a few wordsand it didnt end there. In fact, it sparked a perpetual conflict between truth and falsehood that will last until the Day of Judgment.

[Ibls] said, Do You see this one whom You have honored above me? If You reprieve me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely destroy his descendants, except for a few. [Sratl-Isr: 62]

Except for a few? Its time to get serious.

He is skilled, determined, and relentless. He will never be satisfied until mankind is embroiled in a state of misguidance and vileness. His number one target: the believers!

Then I will come at them, from in front of them and behind them, from their right and from their left. [Sratl-Arf: 17]

But its not as bad you think. The way of Allh is to not leave His servants in their heated conflict with Shayn without any aid or support from Him. From His Mercy is to provide for the believers those who would remind and educate them how to remain steadfast upon the truth in this lifelong struggle.

AlMaghrib Institute is pleased to announce a new one-weekend seminar which offers a comprehensive study of Shayn. Is he the Islamic equivalent of the boogeyman? Is he simply a scapegoat for all of our problems and shortcomings? Who exactly is he?

Get your questions answered and much more as you will delve into:

The Origins of Shayn His Description Is he a fallen angel? Do we know what he looks like? Can he take physical form? Can he see us? Where is he now? Why does Shayn have a grudge against mankind? Was he wronged? What does he want from us?

During the seminar you will uncover:

His Goals What motivates him? What makes him happy? His Capabilities Can he really possess people? Learn the meaning of the Evil Eye (al-Naar, al-Ayn). Whisperings His Psychology and Arsenal of Deceptions The means that fuel his influence: fear, jealousy, hatred, procrastination, greed, despair, and so on. How Shayn deceives people on different levels of religiosity. Shayns Cult/Army. The battlefield is set. How can we equip ourselves to combat him and his army?

Learn the guidance from the Qurn and Sunnah to protect yourself and your family from Shayn. Discover practical ways to subdue his influence. Course Instructor:

Shaykh Saad Tasleem is one of AlMaghrib Institutes latest additions to its instructor lineup. Theres probably no one better than him to understand the plight of Muslim youth in the face of todays pop cultural pressures.

Heres what some of our students have to say about him:

Sh. Saad Tasleem had a phenomenal ability to engage students in the subject matter. It was very clear that he was passionate about the topic which translated into a rich & engaging teaching style. Zubaida, Ottawa

The Shaykh, may Allh reward him, gave us all so many practical pieces of advice and lessons that we can all implement in our lives, so when the seminar does end you know how you can improve as a Muslim and become closer to Allh. Ayaan, London

Part of Shayns unceasing mission is to prevent or divert Muslims away from any form of goodness and obedience to Allh. If there is one course that he would not want you to take, it would be this one as the entire weekend is dedicated to studying about him and his deceptions.
