In The Quest For More Knowledge

Highlight

Islamic Bioethics in Action

We are honored to share the work of four Muslim physicians who have filed a federal lawsuit challenging an Illinois law that conflicts with Islamic beliefs and their commitment to medical ethics.

Our Mission & Method

Coexistence

Darul Qasim subscribes to the universal message of Islam which embraces coexistence with others as part of God’s Will on Earth. It is the opinion of Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia and the Darul Qasim board, that in line with the rulings of authoritative Muslim jurists of the past and present, Muslims must abide by the laws of the sovereign state in which they reside. Following the law of the land is incumbent upon Muslims wherever they may choose to live. Any protest and/or demonstration against policies of the state must be within the legal boundaries of the given state and its laws. Anyone who chooses to violate the laws of the land should not use religion (i.e. Islam) as a cloak to violate its rules and regulations. Anyone who does, does so by his or her own volition and not under the teachings of Islam.

Advancing Scholarship Through the Light of Prophetic Knowledge

Darul Qasim exists to inspire and guide the pursuit of knowledge rooted in the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him). We equip students and scholars to serve their communities, engage thoughtfully in society, and share the teachings of Islam with clarity, integrity, and purpose.

Listen to Shaykh Amin Kholwadia, founder and president of Darul Qasim, as he explains the distribution and acquisition of Prophetic knowledge is central in making our lives in this country easier.

Sunday Tafsir

For over two decades, the rhythm of Sundays remains the same—
A quiet room, a humble Shaykh, and hearts leaning in.

Rain or shine, seekers arrive—
Scholars, PhDs, muftīs, and bright-eyed teens.
No gate. No rank. Just reverence.
Just a thirst for meaning.

Shaykh Amin Kholwadia continues our journey through Sūrah al-Muzzammil (73), exploring its timeless guidance on worship, perseverance, and reliance upon Allah.

Join us every Sunday at 11 AM CT.
