In the age of globalization, different opinions and experiences influence how we perceive Islam and its teachings. We are sometimes left confused and frustrated, wishing there was some way to understand exactly how all the rulings that are said to constitute Shari’ah fit together and to understand the place of Shari’ah rulings in our current milieu.
Shari’ah Intelligence is the ability to navigate the often complex and divergent opinions that stem from scholars of different generations and Schools of Juristic Thought. This course helps to build a greater appreciation about how competent Muslim jurists understand the Shari’ah and use its principles to formulate methods of deriving general and specific rulings.
The course will outline the Basic Principles and Objectives of Islamic Jurispudence and give an introduction to Usul- al-Fiqh and Maqasid Al-Shariah.
For more details and to register for the course go to the Islamic Forum website – islamicforum.org.za. Cost of course which will include refreshments is R100. Seats are limited so you are urged to book early.
