COURSE COLLECTION

Dismantling Doubt and Nurturing Conviction

The inaugural subject of this class explores the dynamics of doubt in the American Muslim community from select verses of the Quran. This course approaches the Quran in general and how to understand it (aka to prevent doubt). How can we keep our theology strong when faced with certain verses from the Holy Quran? Often there are intellectual doubts that invade our minds, but sometimes those doubts manifest from our hearts. These Yaqeen instructors break down several aspects of how we can begin to appreciate and understand the Quran from multiple viewpoints.
