Exploring the Deeper Meanings of the Quran

Every night from July 7, 2024 to July 16, 2024 at 7:15 PM

This year’s Muharram lectures and discussions will delve into the verses of the Quran, offering a fresh understanding of human nature and God-relationship from a Quranic perspective. The focus will be on challenging the traditional religious assumptions and thereby to lead a God-centered and a purposeful life.

Key themes include:

  • The purpose of human life

  • The nature of God and the God-human relationship

  • The essence of sin and good deeds

  • Life, death, and the Day of Judgment

  • The nature of reward, punishment, heaven and hell

Attendees are encouraged to bring their Quran to reference and reflect on the verses being analyzed throughout the series. Join us for an enlightening journey into the depths of the Quran. This program is designed to inspire and educate all ages.

 

There is also bonus weekend seminar on Saturday July 13th from 10:30am – 2:30pm. Join us for an invigorating group discussion. Lunch will be served after the seminar and after Zuhr prayers
