Seminar Topics
Qur'anic Studies
01
Qur’anic Studies: Christianity, Secularism & the Modern Mind
How did the West move from faith to secularism—and what were the consequences? Tracing key shifts within Christian theology reveals how today’s secular worldview emerged, reshaping how truth, authority, and religion are understood. The Qur’an offers a fundamentally different paradigm—one that challenges the assumptions shaping modern thought.
History of Palestine
02
Islamic Theo-Philosophy & Spirituality: Making Sense of a Chaotic World
From wars in the Middle East to America’s political turmoil to the rise of AI, the world feels increasingly unstable. Explore how Islamic theo-philosophy and spirituality provide a coherent framework to understand these realities—restoring clarity, purpose, and certainty in an age of confusion.
Comparative Eschatology
03
Technology & The Collapse of Reality
We are entering a world where reality itself can be engineered. AI can generate voices, images, and entire environments—making truth harder to recognize. But technology is only part of the story. Islamic teachings warn of a time of profound deception, associated with the trial of Dajjāl. In this broader context, discussions like the Jinn Hypothesis—connecting jinn to UFO phenomena—raise deeper questions about unseen influence, perception, and the nature of reality in a rapidly changing world.
Comparative Eschatology
04
Comparative Eschatology: The End Times Across Faiths
What do Islam, Christianity, and Judaism really teach about the end of times—and where do they diverge? Competing narratives about prophecy, Israel, and the return of the Messiah continue to shape global events and political ideologies today. By examining these traditions side by side, a clearer picture emerges of how theology influences modern movements, including Christian Zionism, and how these interpretations impact our understanding of the world today.
The American Culture Wars
05
The American Culture Wars: Rise, Decline & What Comes Next
Are we witnessing the decline of a superpower? Drawing on the insights of thinkers like Ibn Khaldūn and Sir John Glubb, patterns of civilizational rise and fall come into focus. Against this backdrop, America’s political polarization, economic uncertainty, and cultural shifts take on deeper meaning. What lies ahead—and how should we understand it?
History of Palestine
06
History of Palestine: What You’re Not Being Told
Behind the headlines lies a carefully shaped narrative. Tracing the history of Palestine from an Islamic worldview through the formation of Israel, this topic explores how media, political influence, and lobbying networks have shaped public understanding. What emerges is a deeper, more complex picture of the conflict—and why it matters today.
