The scholars will be outlining start to finish the journey of one seeking sacred knowledge. So over the four Fridays we will split the topics in four sections: pure intention, following the Quran and Sunna, the act of acquiring knowledge in itself, and finally on reflecting – the knowledge you have just gained and improving yourself with it. The goal is to keep the topics simple and general for all to benefit. We estimate each scholar to speak for only 30-40 mins each and keeping it to something the whole family could benefit from on a Friday night.
