Finding Wisdom for the Journey Ahead
What helps us remain grounded in faith, open to possibility, and connected to one another as life changes around us?
For centuries, the Qur'an has been a source of spiritual guidance, reflection, and inspiration for Muslims around the world. Its teachings speak to enduring questions about human responsibility, compassion, justice, patience, and our relationship with the Divine.
Within this sacred text are perspectives on how we live with purpose, care for one another, and recognize possibilities for growth and renewal.
In this daylong workshop, Rev. Dr. Khadijah Matin will guide participants in an encounter with the Qur'an as part of One Spirit Learning Alliance's Sacred Texts Series: Navigating Crisis.
Whether the Qur'an is familiar to you or entirely new, this gathering offers an opportunity to approach its spiritual wisdom with curiosity, openness, and respect.
A Sacred Text for Living with Purpose
The Qur'an invites reflection not only on what we believe, but also on how those beliefs shape our actions, relationships, and responsibilities.
Its teachings offer a rich foundation for considering the connection between spiritual life and the way we participate in the world.
Through the lens of the series, we'll turn our attention to questions of hope, compassion, perseverance, and the ways sacred wisdom can help us find meaning and direction.
Rather than treating faith as a retreat from the world, this workshop offers an opportunity to consider how engagement with sacred text can deepen our relationship with the Divine and with one another.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop welcomes anyone interested in learning about the Qur'an and its place within Islamic spiritual life.
You do not need to be Muslim, have studied the Qur'an, or have any prior knowledge of Islamic traditions to participate.
Whether you're approaching the text for the first time, seeking a deeper understanding of another faith tradition, or returning to familiar teachings with new questions, you're welcome.
One Spirit students, graduates, and community members are especially encouraged to join this opportunity for interspiritual learning.
