📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀:
This course provides a structured study of Imam Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī’s Bidāyat al-Hidāyah, examining its treatment of sacred knowledge, worship, ethical conduct, and spiritual purification. Students will explore the relationship between knowledge, intention, and righteous action, alongside the disciplines of daily worship and avoidance of sin.

The course examines outward and inward dimensions of disobedience, including sins of the limbs, tongue, and heart, with particular attention to sincerity, envy, ostentation, humility, and taqwā. It also considers al-Ghazālī’s treatment of etiquette and conduct towards Allāh, teachers, parents, family, friends, and wider society.

By engaging with these themes, students will develop a deeper understanding of al-Ghazālī’s framework for tazkiyat al-nafs and the cultivation of disciplined worship and noble character.

Join us in person at Lote Tree Foundation or online (link will be shared upon registration) for a deeply enriching talk with our special guest, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani (SeekersGuidance: The Global Islamic Academy).

Shaykh Faraz will share the remarkable story of Imam Abu Hanifa, who would not allow his student to depart until he had imparted one final lesson - not from another book, but on the profound art of living honourably among people.

Together, we will listen to and reflect upon this timeless counsel, drawing guidance on noble character, sincere relationships, and the wisdom of living with grace, compassion, and dignity.

It would be a true honour to have you join us for this special gathering.

Refreshments will be served.

📖 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀:
This course introduces students to Fakhr al-Dīn al-Rāzī’s proofs for God’s existence as presented in The Landmarks of the Foundational Principles of Religion (Maʿālim Uṣūl al-Dīn). The course focuses on the four major arguments al-Rāzī presents in this work: the contingency argument, the kalām cosmological argument, the specification argument, and the design argument. Through these proofs, students will explore not only al-Rāzī’s theological reasoning, but also the wider metaphysical assumptions, causal theories, cosmological models, and scientific ideas of his time that shape his approach to proving God’s existence.

Dr Shoaib Ahmed Malik is Lecturer in Science and Religion at the University of Edinburgh. Holding PhDs in Chemical Engineering and Theology, his work bridges science, philosophy, and Islamic theology.
