Islam students at LUC

Last week in class, we finally touched on what i consider more of the core of Islamic theology. The five pillars of Islam were discussed in a bit of detail and laid out in a manner I had not really thought about (the fact that the five pillars have to be performed in a sequence [...]

Last week in class, we discussed the different levels of faith in the Islamic paradigm. This was not really a new concept for me but this was something that I now knew more about in terms of the actual levels. The explanation that was given about the place these individuals at different levels in society [...]

Last week, we did not have class due to Easter break. This weekend was a great week for me because I got to spend some quality time with some of my close friends and was able to build some great bonds. From the readings last week, it was really interesting to read about some of [...]

Last week in class, we finished our surah Yousef analysis and presented our presentations. Class was really entertaining last week and got many laughs out of it.

It had given a negative image to islamic education centers; even though from my experience it has been the exact opposite. The reading [...]

Last week in class, we continued our discussion of the religion Muhammad brought and its history, including a couple of war. Then towards the end of class we started watching the movie Mooz-lum. This movie so for has a creepy feel to it but i look forward to finishing it anyway. The little that I [...]

There were a series of laws treaties that he set in place regarding his relationship between the Quraish and other tribes surrounding them. There were certain wars that he went through of which some he won and some he lost. In [...]

Last week in class, we continued learning about the journey of Prophet Mohammad. After he was not so successful in Mecca, he migrated to Yatrib; which he later renamed to Medina. We then broke into groups and discussed what we think our idea of what religion should be compared to what it does. One of [...]
