And you won't go home empty-handed. You'll leave this course with a credit towards your under-graduate degree from the American Open University - recognized by Al Azhar in Cairo, Egypt; a binder with a summary of the lessons and handouts of the seminar; and step-by-step advice on how to carry what you've learned to others.

"AlMaghrib Rocks!"
- Student

Previous AlMaghrib Accredited seminars sold out in New Jersey and Houston long before the actual event. Students had to be turned back due to limited space. And if you delay your registration, Shaytaan will have one more chance at preoccupying you so that you are later unable to attend...

Allhamdulilah the class is designed for all..Married, SIngle, Divorced,getting married soon as long as you are over 17 you are so welcome...

you have to be 17+? hmm, i thought it was going to be 15/14.5+ (or based on islamic adulthood like anyone 12 and up in general), since that's the age of adulthood and all for the most part.

Allahu Alim, is 17+ official?

i know people who married at 15 and I think the class would definitely be beneficial to those who marry under 17 and also those who are dealing with being single in schools and stuff who are puberty and above. it is important that they know, as single muslims, how to get married and what marriage is "all about" in these crucial years that they will be looking and inshaa' Allah finding a pious spouse... I also know a couple 16 year olds that are mature and regular al maghrib students will they be denied going to this class (i think it would be their first missed class then)

Assalamualykum

ALLahu Alim as of right now that is the age that is agreed upon. Inshallah we will see how things turn out.

if i was 16 i'd be upset alhamdulillah im not. This class is just so important for everyone just like TPA since its something everyone must do. I just know Al Maghrib classes are not usually repeated and such and this is something that applies to teenagers very much who are the most tested by the fitnah of western style relationships and would want to marry etc.
