Course overview
The Perfect Muslim: Faith and Practice in Daily Life
Becoming a Muslim begins with testifying to the oneness of God and the prophethood of his last Messenger (ص), but this is only the beginning. The pursuit of perfection is a conscious effort to deepen one's faith, improve one's conduct, and overcome personal shortcomings.
In this course, we will explore Islamic virtues across five key aspects of everyday life, drawing upon verses of the Holy Qur’an and the teachings of the Fourteen Infallibles (ع). These teachings will be examined alongside the challenges of modern life to present a practical, faith-centered lifestyle that brings belief, action, and awareness into harmony.
Course Sessions:
1. The Well-Mannered Muslim
2. The Healthy Muslim
3. The Social Muslim
4. The Working Muslim
5. The Faithful Muslim
6. A Day in the Life of the Perfect Muslim
