“Here is a book which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, so that they may meditate on its signs and that people of insight might take them to heart.”
-Qur’an 38:29
For centuries Islamic sages have spent a lifetime meditating on verses of the Qur’an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. From these heartfelt reflections, there has evolved a collection of timeless wisdom embodied in oral sayings and written literature. These priceless insights and practices can help guide a spiritual seeker to find meaning and joy in an earthly existence that is filled with mystery and bewilderment.
This course will benefit people of all faith traditions and even those of no faith tradition, who are interested in spiritual healing, guidance, and personal transformation. It is appropriate for people of all ages and walks of life and does not require any prior knowledge of Islam or any specific faith tradition. The content of the class is drawn from universal insights and practices from the Islamic Spiritual Tradition.
