As we stand witness to the ongoing genocide in Israel and the horrific injustices faced by our brothers and sisters in Palestine, it is imperative that we renew our intentions and strengthen our resolve. The sacred land of al-Quds holds immense significance in our faith, and the virtues of this blessed place should serve as a source of spiritual empowerment in these trying times. It is with this consciousness that we turn to Faḍāʾil Bayt al-Maqdis (The Virtues of Jerusalem) by al-Ḥāfiẓ Ḍiyāʾ al-Dīn al-Maqdisī, a work that our beloved Shaykh Taha Karaan raḥimahuLlāhu taʿālā imparted to us in his final lecture before leaving this temporary abode.

The reading took place on the 21st of May, 2021. At the end of the majlis, Shaykh Taha granted ijāzah to those present (online), passing on a very rare isnād that underscores the invaluable link we have to this sacred knowledge.

In 2017, Awqaf SA enjoyed its 5th annual waqf training program. In this presentation, Mawlānā Taha discusses the future application of a number of Islamic finance products to the system of waqf .

In the above clip. Mawlānā Taha reads from his collection of 40 aḥādīth narrated by the great Ṣaḥābī, Abū Ayyūb al-Anṣārī raḍiyaLlahu ʿanhu.

How should Sunnī Muslims commemorate ʿĀshūrāʾ?

In January 2021, Mawlānā
Taha compiled the following poem after losing his older brother, Ḥāfiẓ Prof. Abdus Salaam to COVID-19.

In his 2018 visit to Turkey, Mawlānā was given a tour of the blessed lands of Siirt, which included his visiting several Muslim scholars, madāris, historic masājid, and even the famous tomb of Ismail Fakirullah.
