About Course

Tuesdays | 7:00 pm — Starting August 11th

In an age where atheism and agnosticism are increasingly common, how do we anchor our faith in absolute certainty?

This comprehensive 12-week course equips you with the rational, logical proofs for the existence of God and His Prophets (peace be upon them all), through a guided study of the classic text Introduction to Islamic Creed (Risalah fi ‘Ilm al-Tawhid) by Shaykh al-Azhar Imam Ibrahim al-Bajuri.

Whether you are a new Muslim building your foundation, a lifelong believer seeking a deeper understanding, or someone active in da’wah and interfaith dialogue, this class will give you the tools to confidently present and understand the core tenets of Islam.

By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate what is necessary, possible, and impossible regarding Allah and His Messengers, and respond to the most common modern doubts with clarity and confidence.

A foundational course — open to everyone. The knowledge covered here is fard ‘ayn — the essential, personally obligatory knowledge every Muslim is meant to learn: what we believe about Allah and His Messengers, and why. If you have never taken a class in the Islamic sciences before, this is exactly where to begin.
