Course Summary:

This workshop will explore not only important thematics of what a Muslim “ought to be,” but will also investigate who we’ve gotten here in the first place by looking at our histories, investigating the Quran, the Sunnah, and the Early Revelatory Period as well as delving into modern social sciences to help illuminate the way. This is a work shop for the 8-80, for the young Muslim boy or girl, the teenager, the parent, the college student and the 30-somethings. Religious identity and adhesion do not exist in the natural world; they are created. Let’s work together to create the next generation of inspiring, God-fearing Muslims today.
