Al Ghazali’s Forty Principles

The Forty Principles of Religion by Imam Al Ghazali A modern take on the well-known classic Taught by Shaykh Haytham Tamim Followed by Q&A At a glance Every Thursday at 7pm - 8pm 2pm - 3pm EST 7pm-8pm Nigeria 10pm - 11pm UAE 11pm-12pm PST Live ONLINE on ZOOM and YouTube Cost Free. Can't make it live? Don't worry. You can watch all the recordings on YouTube in your own time. How do I join? For the Zoom link contact: info@utrujj.org, or subscribe to the YouTube channel. What is being covered? The Forty Principles of the Religion is a summary of Al Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al Din (A Revival of the Religious Sciences). Explore the spiritual depth of virtually every aspect of Islam with profound insights into how to become closer to Allah Almighty.

In these sessions, Shaykh Haytham Tamim does not just give a commentary on Ghazali's work, but dips into the Ihya Ulum al Din and adds his own fresh insights to Al Ghazali's work, making these sessions rich and deep.
