"The Seekers of Knowledge"

"Seek knowledge even if in China, for the seeking of knowledge is incumbent on every Muslim." -Ibn 'Abd al-Barr

"The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim." - Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 74
The goal of our event this year is to immerse attendees in an atmosphere of profound love and reverence for our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, drawing inspiration from his timeless teachings, of this renowned hadith.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, set a remarkable example for us as he demonstrated his commitment to seeking knowledge throughout his life. His teachings and actions have inspired generations of Muslims to embrace the importance of intellectual growth. Our pious predecessors embraced these teachings, which motivated them to spread our beautiful deen across the world, believing it to be their duty to share the mercy of Islam.
During the Golden Age of Islam, distinguished scholars and leaders not only preserved and transmitted knowledge but also made significant contributions to various fields. Their advancements in science, art, poetry, language, medicine, philosophy, and so many other fields laid the foundation for the progress of human civilization. Today, Muslims can be found in every country, actively participating in diverse professions and positively influencing society.
In order to provide opportunities for all students to participate and showcase their talents, we have designed a diverse range of roles and activities that extend beyond traditional stage performances. We believe that every student has something valuable to offer, and we strive to create an inclusive environment where all talents are celebrated. Please check out the Performance and Backstage sign-up pages for more details.
Be ready for some exciting performances!
