THE LIVES OF MAN AND HIKAM

MIRACULOUS FIVE
An exciting eight-week short course which explored The Miraculous Five.
During this short course, we explored the lives of the Five Great Prophets and some of their miracles. These five great prophets have been referred to in the Qur’an as ‘The messengers of firm resolve’ (ʾulū l-ʿazmi mina r-rusul) in Q. 46:35.
We have also read sections from the Qur’an and classical poetry about them, discussed some of their miracles, the purpose of these miracles, and what we can learn from the lives of these great five Prophets, upon them be peace.

LOWERED VOICES
During the lockdown, we held an exciting six week online short course that covered the tafsir of Sura Ḥujurāt (Q. 49) and the chapter on speech in Imam Ghazali’s Iḥyā′ ‘Ulūm al-Dīn (The Revival of the Religious Knowledge).
