This Course will discuss anthropology. Human beings created by Allah (SWT) for a special purpose, to be His vicegerents on earth. So we need to know more about human beings, ourselves, and our relation with God. We will study the way human beings are made of bodies and souls or spirits. We will prove the immateriality of the soul, we will talk about the theory of evolution and explain that Islamically, although this theory is not a scientifically proven theory, we don’t have any problem with it. We think that it is one way of explaining how God has created the world. He can create the world in a way in which it evolves or not; we believe that when it comes to this particular generation or line of human beings, starting with Adam, the Qur’an suggests that we are not the product of evolution. We are the product of Allah’s direct and immediate creation of this line of human beings from Adam and Eve.

We will then talk about some aspects of man’s creation, about the human mind, fitrah and dignity. We will talk about the different types of desires that exist in human beings; although we have physical desires there are also other types of desires such as psychological, intellectual and spiritual desires which we need to meet, and not only focus on meeting and satisfying physical desires.

Another important discussion in this unit is on free will. Human beings are created as free beings who can choose between good and bad, right and wrong, they can choose what kind of people they want to become.

The post Anthropology first appeared on Kawthar Learning Courses.

Islamic Belief System Course is designed in a way that covers the main subjects of Aqaid and some contemporary issues.

We will start aqaid and talk about knowing Allah (SWT) or theology. The second unit has an introduction and then starts with some arguments for the existence of God. We will study three major arguments for the existence of God. One is the Argument from Design, we traditionally call it Burhan Nazm; the second is the argument based on the innate knowledge that we have, Fitrah; and the third is the Cosmological Argument, or Burhanul Wujub wal Imkan. Afterwards we will talk about the attributes or qualities, sifat, of Allah (SWT). We will have a discussion on how to classify the divine attributes.

Then we will talk about some particular attributes of Allah (SWT) which are very important: knowledge, power, wisdom, and justice. Here we will pause and talk about the issue of catastrophes and tragedies that take place in the world, the problem of evil, which is a very important question that many people ask.
