Islamic Creed III

About this course

This course will focus on belief in the Day of Resurrection and expand on integral creedal issues that do not squarely fall under the six pillars of faith, such as beliefs regarding to the Companions, sectarianism, political rule, and differences of opinion on ‘Aqeedah matters between Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah. (3 credit hours)
