Muntakhab Nisab
This course is based off of a lecture series developed by Dr.
Israr Ahmad, who in turn developed and expanded upon a course taught by
Islahi.
Though Islamic studies cover a wide range of topics, this course
focuses on Imaan – the foundation of Islam. Specifically, the
objective of this course is to identify the responsibilities and
characteristics of those who have Imaan. This course is rooted in
the Qur’an – with each lesson focusing on a specific selection of
ayaat. Hadeeth, Islamic scholarship, and knowledge of general
humanities may also be cited to substantiate or further explain the meaning of
the Qur’anic ayaat.
The primary
motivation behind this course is to educate Muslims about their full
responsibilities so that they may qualify themselves for Allah’s mercy on the
Day of Judgement and thereby achieve the true success – salvation and eternal
bliss. The importance of this can be illustrated using the example
of a professional. Suppose a professional is hired for a certain job
requiring 10 responsibilities. If the professional limits his work
to only 3 of the responsibilities – he will fail to fulfill the full range of
responsibilities assigned to him. It may be that the professional
excelled at those 3 tasks, but by neglecting the remaining 7, he has failed in
his overall job performance. In this sense, it is possible that a
very pious Muslim fails to achieve salvation because he remained ignorant of
his responsibilities in Islam. Just as a pious worship in
Christianity is too may the pious worship of a Muslim be misguided if he
remains ignorant of his responsibilities?
After studying the course, it is hoped that Muslims will – insha’Allah
– develop:
i.
a stronger commitment to building on their relationship with
Allah,
ii.
a stronger understanding of their responsibilities,
iii.
a stronger motivation to purify themselves through attachment to
the Qur’an and the sunnah of Muhammad (SAWS),
iv.
a greater awareness of their own shortcomings and the need to
embody the ideal characteristics of true believers,
v.
a powerful desire to call others to Allah’s Deen
vi.
a strong foundation for further building on their relationship
with Allah through the Qur’an, they should strive to develop, a strong
relationship with the Qur’an, confidence in their mission to establish the Deen
of Allah on this earth.
