Heirs of the Prophet (S.W.S)
– THE ISLAMIC SCHOLARLY TRADITION
_____________________________________
Course begins
Thursday, January 29, 2014.
Course Description:
Who do we take our knowledge of Islam from, especially when it comes to legal matters? Does one rely on charismatic speakers? Why does one need to follow qualified scholarship? Cannot one just think for themselves and follow the Qur’an and Sunnah? Why there are differences of opinion and who should we follow? Is there only one scholar who is right and should all others be labeled to be misguided? If all were truly following the Qur’an and Sunnah why do differences exist?
This course addresses these and many such questions that continue to confuse Muslims today. The blessed Prophet sws has said in a hadith that the Ulema (religious scholars) are heirs of the prophets. They are the inheritors of the Prophetic legacy of knowledge.This course pays special attention to how 1400 years of the Islamic Scholarly Tradition and classical Islamic scholars would address these concerns. It highlights the pluralism, diversity, multiplicity and unwavering commitment to Knowledge (as opposed to ideology) as hallmarks of this tradition.
