PAST SHORT COURSES

2016 – (T1) Sira; (T2) Moses; (T3) Taqwa

2016 | 2017

See below for the Short Courses facilitated during this academic year.

TERM 1

Details for London Short Course term 1.

BEST OF STORIES MUHAMMAD (S) + JOSEPH (AS)

Q 12:3 announces that ‘the best of stories’ are to be related. Thus CEI offered a short study of not one, but two of ‘the best stories’: The Life of the Prophet Muhammad [s] and the Qur’anic narrative of Prophet Joseph [as] (Q.12).

Over a course of 8 weeks, we compared and contrasted the most beautiful lessons concealed in two of the most beautiful stories that have ever been lived.

TERM 2

Details for London Short Course term 2.

MOSAIC TALES

CEI welcomed the new year with an exciting chronological study of the Mosaic narrative in the Qur’an with complementary interactive workshop sessions.

Together we aimed to illustrate valuable lessons from the Qur'anic story of Moses, but also indrawing parallels with the Biblical & Jewish image of Moses as well as linking to the Prophet Muhammad's image in the Qur'an.

We hoped to construct a unified 'image' of the great Prophet Moses by way of our unique interactive workshop sessions: 'Creating the Mosaic'.

A fascinating 8 week course, we analyzed and reacted to one of the most extraordinary biographies revealed in the Qur'an.

TERM 3

RAMADAN THE MONTH OF TAQWA

Believers! Fasting has been prescribed for you, as it was prescribed to those before you, so that you may attain taqwa. Q. 2:183

An exciting six-week short course which explored Ghazali’s definition of the word Taqwa, and the Qur’anic verses describing who the people of Taqwa are and the rewards they can expect.
