SUMMARY:An Introduction to Islamic Beliefs
DESCRIPTION:Course Title: Anchored in Faith: An Introduction to Islamic Beliefs\nTeachers: Qasim Farid\nDate: Every Tue starting 28th April 2026\nTime: 7:15-9:15 PM UK\nFee: £55\nRecommended min Age: 16+ \n10 Week Course \nSign Up \nWhat you truly believe is the foundation of your mindset\, outlook and\, by extension\, the life you choose to lead.\nAs Muslims\, what exactly do we believe? Why do we hold these beliefs? How do these beliefs shape how we live?  \nThis short course explores the foundations of Islamic belief (ʿAqīda)  in a way that is rooted and real. Together\, we’ll revisit the fundamentals of faith—belief in Allah\, His Angels\, His Books\, His Messengers\, the Last Day\, and the Divine Decree—not just as a formula to memorise\, but as a framework for understanding and interfacing with existence.  \nThe course has been developed and refined over several years\, drawing on several classical texts of Islamic beliefs\, metaphysics & spirituality\, while speaking to the realities of modern life.\nUsing reason-based arguments proving core beliefs\, spiritual insights into the Divine Names and openly engaging the ideas and ideologies of modernity\, the course is designed to anchor your identity\, inform your choices and bring meaning to everyday life.
