What’s the Light of Guidance About?

Before a student of knowledge masters the complexities of Arabic grammar, the intricacies of fiqh, or the details of hadeeth criticism, he or she must have firm knowledge and belief in the fundamentals of our deen. Our ‘aqeedah is the pillar by which our deen stands firm, the fertile land from which all of our actions blossom, and it is the foundation from which all other Islamic sciences grow.

‘Aqeedah is linguistically derived from the term ‘aqadah’ – a verb which means “to hold fast to” or “to establish”. According to our scholars, ‘aqeedah is the firm creed and beliefs that one’s heart is fixed upon without any wavering or doubt. Are we certain about these beliefs to which our hearts should be tied? How well do we know the fundamental tenets of Islam, relating to our eman in Allah (swt), in the prophets, the books, the angels, the Last day and Qadr [fate]?

Imam Abu Haneefah, rahimahullah, called his work on ‘aqeedah “al-Fiqh al-Akbar” (The Greater Understanding), while he referred to shari’ah as simply, “the understanding of science”. This seminar is an opportunity to grasp this ‘greater understanding’, to grant us deeper awareness and knowledge about the crucial beliefs that form the skeleton of Islam, and to tie our hearts to these truths.

Topics to be Covered in this Seminar:

• Definition of Tawheed
• Importance of Tawheed
• Categories of Tawheed (history; differences of opinion regarding categorization schemes)
• Tawheed in Allah’s Lordship (Ruboobiyyah): reality and definition
• Quranic Proofs of Ruboobiyyah
• Western Proofs for the Existence of God (Ontological, Cosmological, Kalam, etc.)
• Critique of Western Proofs; comparison w/ Islamic Proofs
• Atheism (arguments; refutation)
• and MUCH MORE!
