This is an 8 session online course on How we know what we know. The course will explore the foundations of Islamic epistemology, laying the groundwork for a deeper, more thoughtful understanding of Islamic beliefs.
Through guided discussions, we will explore key questions such as:
- What are the sources of knowledge in Islam?
- How can we trust reason, senses, or revelation?
- How do we recognize logical fallacies?
This is the first course in a planned series on Islamic theology (ʿAqāʾid), inspired by the content of the contemporary Farsi works “Bee-Nehāyat” and “Ṭarḥ-e Wilāyat.” While rooted in profound philosophical and mystical insights, the course is designed to be fully accessible—no prior knowledge of philosophy or mysticism is required.
