Every family faces its own set of unique challenges especially a Muslim family trying to find a balance between modern day life, social changes, technological developments and implementation of Islam in between all these factors. “The Ideal Muslim Home” is an essential seminar which combines Fiqh, Adab, Tafseer and practical advice governing family relations and solutions to problems between parents, children, siblings, spouses and in-laws derived from the Quran and the Sunnah as well as the lives of the righteous predecessors..

The Prophet (sullallahu alayhi wa-sallam) said: The best of you is the one who is best towards his family. As for me, I am best amongst you towards my family (Ibn Majah). The orthodox family dynamics are changing with lack of bonding and lack of communication at the centre of the issue. In an effort to address this vast topic Kalemah has invited Sheikh Sajid Umar on a half day seminar to divulge the secrets of an Ideal Muslim home using the premise of the life and trials in the household of Prophet Ibrahim alaihisalam to help strengthen our families and in turn our communities.

Shaikh Sajid Umar was born in Leicester, UK. He attended primary, secondary school and college in Harare (Zimbabwe), where he studied IT and obtained a first class degree. Having memorised the Quran at the age of 18 and successfully opening an IT business, he turned his attention towards Islamic studies. He travelled to Riyadh where he enrolled at Imaam Muhammed Ibn Saud Islamic University completing a University Diploma in Arabic language and Islamic Sciences. He continued his studies at al-Imam University, graduating with a Bachelors degree in Sharīah, and a masters degree in Judiciary (Qadha) from the Higher Institute for Judiciary Studies (Ma’had al-‘āli li’l-Qaḍā) at al-Imam University.
