Sacred Study 2024
Knowledge – Practice – Realisation
Course Description
Presenting the Sacred Study Course 2024, now in its 14th year. Meticulously designed for individuals aged 16 and above, with expert instruction provided by our dedicated teachers. The Sacred Study program seeks to revive a profound connection with the uninterrupted scholarly tradition of Islam. This holistic approach has traditionally steered individuals toward leading purposeful lives, striving to please their Creator and Sustainer, and empowering them to create a meaningful impact.
This learning process emphasises the importance of the metaphysical and spiritual truths that inform Islam’s well-known practices. Reconnecting through learning facilitates realisations in one’s faith. Making choices based on knowledge refines the soul and draws one closer to Allah and His messenger. Hence, the leitmotif, Knowledge – Practice – Realisation, underscores the intention and thought behind the various educational programmes offered by Fountain Institute.
The curriculum for this year’s programme includes Islamic Jurisprudence, Applied Theology, the Unity of Majesty and Beauty, Purification, Shamail, Logic, and Quranic Exegesis. ...Read More
