About

The third seminar of the #QS series, this is a particularly unique seminar that explores issues of contemporary relevance through a Quranic and shar’ī lens. This seminar introduces some fundamental Qur'anic paradigms to key questions and situations, balancing a number of considerations that span across society, politics and faith. The seminar includes: What is culture and social norms? - ‘Urf (culture/social customs) in the Qur’an, and its role in the sharī’ah - In a multicultural society, who’s ‘urf takes shar’ī precedence? - Is there a ‘Muslim culture’ in the UK that we can speak of? - Political, religious, and existential identity: do they come together, and if so, how? What does God say? What type of social community does God refer to? - The social, political and religious - Why a community? How does God speak of its purpose? - How does that translate for the context of ethno-cultural/religious communities in the UK? - Quranic paradigms on identity, belonging and loyalties Wider non-believing society: - A sense of belonging to a multi-belief society? - Does God want us to integrate? If so, what type of integration? - What does the Qur’an suggest about social and cultural capital with wider society?
