How well do you know Allah?
Where did this knowledge come from? Is it from reading about Him?
Do you have a personal experience of who Allah is?
How involved is Allah in your life according to how you experience Him?
And how accurate is your knowledge of Him? How valid are your deep rooted feelings towards Allah?
Is it not true that we often perceive to know someone until a circumstance reveals unknown aspects of them? Sometimes we think we know ourselves, only to be surprised at how we behave or react in a specific situation. It is very common that we assume to know ourselves and others when in fact we haven't achieved enough clarity.
This course is designed to discuss and unveil one of the most important questions of our existence - How true and valid is our personal knowledge of Allah?
In this 4-part course we will take a glimpse into how the Names and Attributes of Allah animate the world around us and give it life. We will train ourselves to feel His kindness in our gut, not only on paper. We will dive into how the dynamism of life and living beings narrate the story of His creativity. Allah's beauty and love of beauty are evident in His creation and in His revelation. We will take a deeper look at His Divine Will that we appreciate and live in beauty. His blessings tell us a complete story of His abundance, generosity and caring.
Life is an interactive conversation between us and Him. He is responsive beyond imagination. You will learn how to be mindful of this dynamic conversation that we call life. His power and might are captivating and overwhelming. His Majesty sets everything straight and keeps things in balance. We are created to love Him, long to Him, and eventually earn His divine love. Our life is meant to be an expression of this love. Life itself originated for this sole purpose.
Learn about the most important One in your life and learn how to win His companionship. Inspired by His Names.
