Good news, an aqidah seminar will be conducted at the MCA by well-respected Muslim scholars. Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Imam Zaid Shakir, Imam Tahir Anwar and Ustadh Abdullah Ali discuss the foundation of Islam: creed. Using Imam al-Tahawi’s book on aqidah as a guide, these 4 scholars will educate the community on the importance of learning our aqidah, without controversy.

In an age of bewildering spiritual and intellectual confusion, aqidah or creed, the formal statement of religious belief, has never been more important. Every
Muslim is obliged to learn it and is promised protection from deviant beliefs by following the unassailable texts of the scholastic community of Islam.

Of them all, The Creed of Imam al-Tahawi is the simplest, most effective, and least controversial. It serves as a sound basis for Islamic faith and is the most reliable of the early articulations of Muslim belief. Because Imam al-Tahawi avoided convoluted theological issues and systematically presented the most fundamental aspects of dogmatic theology, his creed has achieved an unusual degree of acceptance in the Muslim milieu. In the thousand years since it was written, many great Muslim scholars have penned commentaries on it and today it is still studied throughout the Muslim world and increasingly in the West.

We invite you to join us for a day of intellectual thought and deep insight with our esteemed scholars as they journey into the core of the Islamic faith with Imam al-Tahawi’s remarkable text as the guide.
