Dr Belal Alabbas led an outdoor learning session in the CMC garden, continuing an old tradition deeply embedded in Islamic scholarship.
Imam al-Bukhārī records in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (Kitāb al-ʿIlm, Hadith 67) how knowledge was transmitted through balāgh, where students repeated teachings aloud so that distant listeners could hear – an essential practice in large outdoor gatherings before the introduction of technological amplification.
In keeping with this legacy, Cambridge Muslim College remains committed to preserving traditional pedagogy while integrating it with contemporary scholarship, ensuring that timeless methods of learning continue to inspire and shape future generations
