Islamic Law and Wisdom 1

Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized that seeking religious knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim, regardless of gender. Following the assertion of our Prophet, the purpose of this course is to provide its students with the required knowledge in the form of fresh insight into Islam, its beliefs, its practices, and the wisdom behind those beliefs and practices. In this course, students will learn about Islam, its core beliefs, and teachings to appreciate the true essence of the directives given by Allah SWT, which is the purification of oneself. Every lecture or discussion will be a sincere effort to understand how these beliefs and directives play a significant role in self-development and personal growth. Students will be asked to evaluate the subject matter rationally presented to them. This course focuses on articles of faith and their relationship to our social lives, with a brief introduction to rituals.
