Etiquette With The Qur’an [Kitaab Tibyaan Fi-Adaab Hamalatil-Qur’an]
This class will focus on a book following the purpose of bettering your character according to the Quran. We will be exploring the manners, etiquettes and responsibilities of Muslims on campus. The session will cover key teachings from the book, including sincerity, good character, respect for the Qur'an, the importance of seeking knowledge and the qualities that should be developed by those who carry the Qur'an. Alongside studying the text, the class will encourage attendees to reflect on their own personal growth and relationship with the Qur'an. It will explore how engaging with the Quran should not only increase a person's knowledge, but also positively influence their character, actions, mindset and daily life. Attendees will be encouraged to consider how they can develop consistency in their Qur'anic practice, improve their manners and character, and use the Qur'an as a source of guidance for their personal and spiritual development. The aim is for attendees to leave with a greater understanding of the responsibilities that come with learning the Qur'an, as well as practical reflections that can help them continue growing throughout their university journey and beyond.
