This is a rare opportunity to learn the Forty Hadith of Imam An-Nawawi in a traditional way with a real muhaddith (expert of Hadith). Shaykh Dr Mohammad Akram Nadwi is among the very few living scholars in the world who have the shortest chains (isnad) to many of the books of Hadith. Therefore to be in his company, to benefit from his knowledge, to be enlightened by his wisdom and to be linked to the the Prophet (SAW) through him is such a huge blessing and an opportunity that cannot be missed.
"Of all the scholars I have had the opportunity to study with, I
have found Shaikh Akram Nadwi to be the closest, in knowledge, manners
and teaching, to how I would imagine some of the great Hadith scholars
of the past would have been. He has a vast knowledge of Qur'an, Hadith
and Fiqh, a down-to-earth, humble, approachable style, and great
teaching ability. His classes are not just beneficial from a learning
perspective, but also to marvel at the awe-inspiring wealth of
knowledge of our scholars masha Allah. His 57 volume work going through
the biographies of some 8,500 women scholars of Hadith is a monumental
endeavour. The mere fact of its existence can be a major talking point
in discussion with Muslims and non-Muslims, and is almost a
stand-alone proof of Islam's unparalleled wealth of female
scholarship." - Dr Omar Mahroo, Cambridge
“There are not many people that you meet and in the first hour of sitting with them you decide you love them for the sake of Allah, but for me that was the case one week ago, when I had the honour of sitting in on a course by Shaykh Akram Nadwi. The next week I was with him again and by no means did he cease to amaze me any less. When someone like Shaykh Akram speaks and explains things the way he does, you know that anyone who is not benefiting from him will look back in 10 years and think, man I totally lost out there. You may know a topic inside out but because of the depth of his knowledge and more importantly his understanding, when he explains something you are thrown back by how he explained it in a way you never heard it before. MashaAllah. These courses are essential for every Muslim. If people are sincere about seeking knowledge that will connect them to their Creator, Allah (SWT), then they will take full advantage as they will not only help one understand their purpose in life in a deeper and more meaningful way but they will also be in a strong position to articulate Islam to the people around them in a way that makes sense and appeals the the hearts and minds.” - Tariq Shaekh, London

"Jazakumullahu khayran. I can't thank you
enough for the opportunity. I am so impressed by the Sheikh,
subhanallah, mashaAllah. A very rare example of tradition fused with
awareness of the environment and reality while not compromising God
consciousness. If only there were more like him. Questions, I'm so glad
we can ask them even if it's not about the sura. Yes, how else are we to
learn from his wisdom and experience if we don't ask? The issues facing
Muslims in the West are so many and so confusing and I just love the
fact that he does not have an inferiority complex about Islam. It's
really sad to see psychologically defeated scholars start throwing away
tradition in the name of progress and fitting in. Sheikh Akram Nadwi
gives you the sense that the real life is in the hereafter so don't have
to get so tied up with the philosophies and controversies that
sometimes take away our attention from the real purpose. The onus is on
us, are we being pious?" - Aisha Barkatulla, Cambridge
