Since September 2025, the community at Tooting Islamic Centre has been blessed with a transformative weekly journey through Sahih al‑Bukhari, led by Mufti Abu Zahra Fazal Khaliq al‑Umari. This ongoing series has become a powerful source of spiritual grounding, reviving hearts and deepening our collective connection to the authentic teachings of the Prophet ﷺ.

Each Friday after Isha, attendees gather to explore the timeless guidance contained within Imam al‑Bukhari’s renowned collection. With clarity, depth, and compassion, Mufti Abu Zahra draws out the wisdom, context, and relevance of these ahadeeth, helping us apply the Sunnah meaningfully in our daily lives.

Why This Series Matters

In a world filled with noise, uncertainty, and competing influences, reconnecting with the pure and preserved words of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ provides:

🌙 A return to authenticity

Learning directly from verified ahadeeth strengthens our understanding of Islamic principles and protects us from confusion or misinterpretation.

📚 A structured pathway to deeper knowledge

Sahih al‑Bukhari is not only the most rigorously authenticated hadeeth compilation—it is a roadmap of faith, belief, character, worship, and daily conduct. Studying it systematically allows us to build a solid foundation in every aspect of the Sunnah.

❤️ A means to strengthen hearts and community

The circle of knowledge (halaqah) is a place of tranquillity and mercy. Every gathering reinforces unity, spirituality, and love for the Prophet ﷺ.
