Our Identity
Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, narrated:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) transmitted it from the Blessed and Great Lord: Verily Allah recorded the good and the evil and then made it clear that he who intended good but did not do it, Allah recorded one complete virtue in his favor, but if he intended it and also did it, the Glorious and Great Allah recorded ten to seven hundred virtues and even more to his credit. But if he intended evil but did not commit it, Allah wrote down one full virtue in his favor. If he intended that and also committed it, Allah made an entry of one evil against him.

Who are we?
In the winter of 2005, a group of dedicated young New Yorkers with a vision to make AlMaghrib institute a part of the NYC muslim landscape, embarked on a journey.
Our goal is to change Muslims into a better people, and hence they named themselves as As-Sabiqoon, the first and foremost to work for Islam.
We represent a portion of a large Muslim population in New York, willing and dedicated to find solutions to the problems facing Muslims today. We are young eager students who have volunteered our time and energy for the spread of Islamic knowledge to muslims and non-muslims. Build our own understanding of who we are and share with the NYC and the world at large, the message of Islam, the way of life.
We hope and pray that institutions like AlMaghrib will provide a key to open the light of Islam in the Big Apple. This is the future we hope to build.
AsSabiqoon's Attitude...
And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear (whether their alms and charities, etc., have been accepted or not), because they are sure to return to their Lord (for reckoning).(Al-Mu'minun 23:60)
It is these who race for the good deeds, and they are foremost in them [e.g. offering the compulsory Salât (prayers) in their (early) stated, fixed times and so on].(Al-Mu'minun 23:61)

History of the Khulafaa'"Those of you that will live after me shall see great division; so follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Khulafaa’ Ar-Raashideen Al-Mahdiyyeen … clench down (hard) on it with your furthest most teeth." |
The Rules of Engagement: Islamic Code of Ethics"...Know that overt manners are the banner of covert amenities, and the actions of the limbs are the fruits of the thoughts. Deeds are the results of ethics. The etiquettes are the dew of the principles. The limbs of he whose heart is not devoted will not reflect any devotion... And he whose interior is not a niche for the divine light of guidance, his exterior will not glow with the charm of the Prophetic manners." |

Breach of Covenant: Tafseer Surat AlBaqarahThe battle was raging wrong... "YA ASHAAABA SURAT ALBAQARAH! YA HAMALAT ALQURAN!" "Alif. Laam. Meem. This is the book that contains no doubt; a guide for the Muttaqoon." |
The Code of Scholars: Usool Al-Fiqh"I debated a scholar and beat him. Then I debated a layman and that layman beat me - he had no knowledge of the principles and texts. I had nothing to say." |
