Tazkiyah I

About this course

This course will explore the place of spirituality in Islam, within the bounds of the Quran and Sunnah, and by contrasting that against the spiritual paradigms of other world systems. It will also look at the history of Sunni Sufism, and a balanced approach towards this discipline. It will also explore the inner dimensions of worship, namely some of the deeper meanings of Salah, Zakah, Sawm, Hajj, and Quranic Reflection. While the jurisprudence of these acts covers the form and proper manner of performance, this course will cover the substance of each action.(2 credit hours)
