Virtues 1434 (2013) Manchester

Quba Initiative is honored to have hosted the annual Virtues tour in Manchester during the Prophetic month of Rabi al-Awwal. Virtues is a six city annual tour that covers the length and breadth of the British Isles  during the blessed month of Rabī al-Awwal

​The primary aim of Virtues was to engender in society a greater love and knowledge of the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) by nurturing a greater awareness of the sanctity and ultimate purpose of the month of Rabī‘ al-Awwal amongst the general public.

Particular attention was paid to the tremendous traits of prophecy that spring forth from the tempered spheres of intellect; anger and desire – such as wisdom, courage and temperance – so as to promote the manner in which the modern condition of man can be healed. The physical features and character traits of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were also depicted through oratory and poetic means, as well as by exhibiting artistic and cultural works that represent and celebrate the legacy of the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself in the modern era.

Our guests were fortunate to benefit from a beautiful line up of speakers from both the the UK and United States:
Shaykh Yahya Rhodus
Shaykh Ibrahim Osi-Efa
Umar Abdullah Debois
Amir Sulaiman

The event consisted of talks by the respective scholars, nasheeds, recital of poems and a full 3 course meal
