The Precepts of Sacred Law
Dr. Abdullah BIN HAMID Ali
The sacred law guides the life of every Muslim, but often times its spirit and universal objectives are missed in the particulars. This course will discuss the sources of the law, its moral values, its objectives, and explore contemporary applications of legal reasoning. This will help believers understand and appreciate the wisdom of sacred law, better enabling them to live moral and meaningful lives.
Refinement of the Soul
Shaykh Faraz Khan
The human being is an ensouled creature, and the refinement of that soul is a lifelong endeavor. These sessions will examine the key principles of the Islamic path of spiritual refinement, examine key figures in its formulation, and closely discuss some of its foundational virtues. By learning the principles of spiritual discipline and the recognition and treatment of diseases of the heart, we garner the tools to embark on our journey towards the divine.
Key Stories of the Qur’an
Mufti Hussain Kamani
One of the great motifs of the Quran is the presentation of stories of those who came before us so that we may reflect and learn. This series will examine a collection of stories from the Qur’an that highlight several key virtues. From the patience of Prophet Ayub, to the resolve of Prophet Musa, and the wisdom of Luqman, this course will examine six key stories, bringing these timeless lessons of virtue to life.
The Sunnah of Decision Making
Shaykh Yahya Rhodus
In the Qur’an, Allah tells us that He created death and life “that He may try which of you is best in deed.” How then can we strive to make our deeds pleasing to our Creator? This course will provide an analysis of the process of our actions. First, we will examine the evaluation of acts and the centrality of intentions. Then, during the act itself, what states of the heart are required, and finally, we’ll look at the appropriate states related to the completion of an act. With this exhaustive look at deeds, each of us will be better equipped to examine and perfect our actions and, God-willing, do that which is most pleasing to our Lord.
Actualizing Tawhid: The Aphorisms of Ibn ‘Ata’ Allah
Shaykh Walead Mosaad
The Aphorisms of the famous 13th century Alexandrian jurist and sage, Ibn ‘Ata’Allah, have gained renown and acceptance by the Muslim ummah for elucidating the attributes of a heart in complete surrender to God. In this series, we will examine a selection of some of the key Aphorisms (Hikam) related to actualizing tawhid, not only as a set of beliefs in the mind but as a state of the heart.
