Fortress of Faith

An introductory course for beginners equipping secondary school, university students and adults with proofs for why God exists and Islam is true, along with tools to confidently protect your faith from atheist arguments.

The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said:

Allah (the Exalted) says: "Indeed I am Allah, and there is no god except Me, anyone who affirms my Oneness (Tawhid) will gain entrance to my fortress, and anyone who enters my fortress will be protected from My punishment." [Bukhari]

Fortress of Faith Review

The Fortress of Faith course was very good and easy to understand. It provided me with simple arguments to respond to atheism.

I studied another course on this topic, but found that it was too complicated. This course is suitable for teenagers and adults and simpler than other courses, but at the same time gives good arguments in defence of Islam.

This course gave me confidence and I now know that am not helpless against atheists.

I would advise other people to study it because it is well structured, interactive and logical.

Saleh Abu Hashim

I was born and raised in the UK and studied Social Sciences, IT and Education at University up to post graduate level. My first serious exposure to traditional scholarship was when I attended the month long Rihla course held in the UK in the summer of 1997. Shortly thereafter I spent a year in the Middle East where I studied Arabic at the University of Jordan in 1998-1999. I also spent four years working in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, during which I read with some scholars in my free time.

I have completed the study of basic texts in: Arabic grammar, Hanafi fiqh, Usul al Fiqh, Hadith, Mustalah al-Hadith and Aqidah. I am fortunate to have studied and read with scholars based in the UK, as well as from Mauritania, Turkey, Syria, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

I reside in the United Kingdom with my family and work in a field unrelated to Islamic Studies.
