Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
"I am a Distributor (Qasim) and Allah is the One who Gives." The prophets left behind an intellectual inheritance rich with knowledge.

Meaning of al-Qasim

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “I am a Distributor (Qasim) and Allah is the One who Gives.” The distributive function of Prophethood, while it includes physical assets such as wealth and property, emphasizes the knowledge that Allah bestows on His prophets. It is an inheritance that, in the case of Muhammad ﷺ, has transformed, and continues to transform, the lives and hearts of men and women all over the world. Why Learn Academically? The Qur’an and Sunna were revealed and practiced, respectively, in the context of a real society that faced difficult challenges. These challenges were overcome, and a remarkable new civilization was born, because the early Muslims understood the relevance of the Qur’an and Sunna to the world around them. There are two essential tools that facilitate the acquisition of such understanding, the Arabic language and Islamic studies. A deep knowledge of Arabic is the means through which exegesis, close textual analysis, is possible. It is the key to understanding how the culture, sociology and philosophy of previous generations functioned in the light of the Qur’an and Sunna. Islamic studies includes such disciplines as ‘Aqidah, Islamic thought, and Fiqh: it is the means through which one gains access to the Qur’an and the resulting spiritual connection to our Creator, a connection that is the surest path for happiness in this life and the next. 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.
