TERM 1

Details for London Short Course term 1.

LIVES OF MAN AND MAN OF MANY WORDS

An exciting eight week course which explored selective themes about the nature of mankind (Insaan) in the Qur’an, and the stages mankind (Insaan) passes through prior to birth, in this world and after death, in Imam al-Haddad’s Lives of Man.

The course also explored selected themes about mankind in the Qur’an.

TERM 2

Details for London Short Course term 2.

RABBANA PRAYERS IN THE QURAN

An exciting eight week course which explored prayers in the Qur’an. We explored what it means to pray and then highlighted five disparate voices in the Qur’an that use the word ‘Our Lord’ (rabbana) to supplicate. In so doing, we hope to have established the context of these prayers in the Qur’an and reflected on the practical lessons contained therein for us.

TERM 3

Details for London Short Course term 3.
