Shajarah Islamic Studies Courses

Deepen your understanding of Islamic theology through an exploration of the intellectual and ideological challenges shaping the modern world. Building upon ʿAqīdah I, this 12-week course examines how classical Islamic creed responds to contemporary worldviews, philosophical trends, and divergent religious perspectives. Students will engage with critical ideas such as secularism, humanism, relativism, and postmodernism, alongside comparative analyses of Christian, Jewish, and intra-Muslim theological positions. Through these discussions, students will learn to identify the underlying assumptions of modern thought, evaluate them through the lens of Qur’anic and theological reasoning, and articulate the timeless relevance of tawhīd in an age of doubt. Designed for serious seekers and students of theology, this course will allow students to think critically, engage with other ideologies, and defend their faith with depth and intellectual integrity.
