Shaykh Yusuf Weltch is a teacher of Arabic, Islamic law, and spirituality.

The course aims to look through the biographies of major Companions, male and female. Within the course, we will try to extract practical advice and guidance to apply to our lives. We also hope to instill the love and veneration of the Companions in the student’s hearts.
In this course we will be taking a glimpse into the lives of various Companions of the Messenger, both men, and women, to find solutions to our own circumstances by reflecting on how they overcame theirs.
It is this reflection that we hope may lead to emulation and finding guidance in their way.
We hope to acquire practical examples on how to get through the difficulties of day-to-day life in a manner pleasing to Allah Most High.
