This course will be a journey through selections from IGP's new book The Muslim Handbook of Etiquette & Manners, a new translation of Imam al-Ghazali's Adab fi al-Din. As the text is a guide to proper Islamic conduct and character in a wide range of life situations, this course will focus on practical application of these principles in a modern context.
Over the course of 5 weekly sessions, Shaykh Farid Dingle will guide us through this text, helping us to explore ways to apply the general principles which Imam al-Ghazali outlines to our own lives in everyday situations. Where Al-Ghazali's outlines essential principles that govern interactions with other people and with oneself - and which every Muslim should strive to embody and cultivate within his or her life - this course will help students to understand how these general principles might be specifically applicable to our own lives. Our aim is that by the end of this five-week course, al-Ghazali's text will be rendered much more useful to all students, and will serve as a quick and easy reference for a variety of life situations.
There will be time for Q&A in each class session, and all students will have access to a private chat group with the course instructor for additional questions and discussion.
Course schedule: Wednesdays November 13-December 11 – 1 pm ET; 5 pm London; 10 am PST; 8pm Mecca; 1am Malaysia (1 hour long) – 5 sessions total – All sessions will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
