TIES ‘Basics of Islam’ class: TIES Center invites all to the last session of our Basics of Islam course on June 14, at 9:30 pm.
In this session, we will discuss the spiritual, social, psychological and medical benefits of Ramadan fasting and its preconditions.
We will also explore the meaning of the word ‘Hajj’, its spiritual, social and financial benefits — among others — and the role it played in spreading Islam. We will also examine the pillars of worship (motivators for worshiping Allah), and the conditions to fulfill in order to get our acts of worship accepted by Allah (SWT).
Finally, we will discuss in detail the practical various aspects in which Hajj emphasizes the Islamic Unity. If you are curious about Islam or want to hone your skills in explaining its main concepts, this course will equip you with clear and concise information about Islam as well as techniques for effective dialogue.
