Have you heard of the 12 Imams? Do you know who they were and what is their story? 
They are the family of the Prophet (S.A.W.).


One of the twelve Imams, Imam Ja'fer e Sadiq (a.s.) was from the generation of the Followers (Tabi’een) and would narrate hadiths, most of which he had heard from his father Imam al-Baqir (a.s.), to a large number of prominent scholars such as Imams Malik, Abu Hanifa and Sufyan al-Thawri, may Allah be pleased with them. [Sawa’iq al-Muhriqa, Ibn Hajr al-Haytami].

Sat 5 March 2016​: 2 Iqbal Workshops (IN ONE DAY)

Hast o Neest Institute of Traditional Studies & Arts &
Marghdeen Iqbal Studies Centre

In Search of Pakistan Series

Two Iqbal Workshops (IN ONE DAY) 
Saturday 5 March 2016​: 
The Faith Factor 11:00 am - 1:00 pm & 
Defining a Nation 2:00 – 4:00 pm  

by Khurram Ali Shafique.

The Second and Third Workshop of the Seven Workshop Series

One workshop looks upon ‘Faith’ as the determining factor in the structure of the Muslim nation according to Iqbal & Quaid-i-Azam. The term – ‘faith’ – was understood at that time to mean almost the opposite of how it is generally defined today.

One workshop tackles the following questions pertaining to being a ‘Nation’: How was a nation defined by the founding parents of Pakistan, how is it relevant today, and what should we do in order to use it as a dynamic solution for the problems facing us today? These questions will be answered in this interactive and interesting workshop through activities and video discussions.

Khurram Ali Shafique is an Iqbal scholar who has received a Presidential Iqbal Award.

REGISTRATION: Send in ‘Title, Name, Cell Number & Email Address on hast.o.neest@gmail.com/0321 213 0346. Fee: Rs.1000/Workshop for Adults and Rs. 500 for Students.
