About
Qabeelat Hayl is the AlMaghrib Institute Student Body of Columbus, Ohio.
AlMaghrib Institute classes were introduced in Columbus, Ohio on March 19th 2005. Hayl [meaning strength] was the name assigned to the representative AlMaghrib student body in Columbus, Ohio.
“Race one with another in hastening towards Forgiveness from your Lord (Allah), and towards Paradise, the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in Allah and His Messengers.” [Surat Al-Hadeed 59:21]
When one takes a close look at the time of the Sahabah and Taabieen, one will notice that throughout their struggle to please Allah they always had positive competition amongst themselves. AlMaghrib Institute has implemented this noble quality of Islamic culture into its learning system to help produce a unique educational experience.
Normally in the West, when one attends a class, it is more often than not an individual experience. Whether that individual gets a high mark or flunks miserably, it’s usually no ones concern but their own.
Not so with the AlMaghrib student tribes. When a student registers for a class, they become part of that city’s tribe. Thus, whoever registers for a class in Columbus, becomes part of Qabeelat Hayl.
