The Islamic Theology answers some of the most important questions that Muslims all over the world, and Muslims in the West specifically face. Epistemology is a largely ignored science by Muslims today, but it is a very crucial building block to know what we know, and why and how we know it. Ustadh Samir guides the students carefully through the topics, and makes sure that you are not just nodding your head through active participation, discussions and Q&As. I can't recommend this course enough, especially to educators and youth counselors.

Sh. Samir is a passionate teacher who truly cares about imparting beneficial knowledge to his students, which he does amazingly through a methodological approach and an interactive teaching style. He has an excellent command of the traditional Islamic sciences as well as Western philosophy and contemporary thought, and is thus able to breakdown and capably address many of the multi-disciplinary issues facing us as Muslims today. I highly recommend his classes for those seeking to gain a contemporary understanding of the world through an authentically Islamic lens. I benefited immensely from Sh. Samir's classes and they were a highlight of my week that I always looked forward to.

I found the Islamic Theology course quite helpful in terms of bridging an important gap between contemporary and classical philosophy and also in learning how to frame and filter such information within a modern context leading to a more intuitive understanding. I would highly recommend the course especially (but not limited) to those who are well versed in natural sciences but find classical arguments too abstract or outdated.

My interest in joining Fahm was sparked by following Shaykh Samir’s page the Usuli with his informative & unique posts on modern contemporary knowledge grounded in Islamic ontology and epistemology. After going through the Islamic Theology course, I can summarize that it seeks to reinvigorate the classical proofs for the existence of God by imbuing them with developments in contemporary knowledge. This dual approach is especially pertinent in today’s contemporary world as we are bombarded with modern doubts and skepticism on God and Islam. I would highly recommend this intermediate level course for university students as it provides a platform for intellectually stimulating discussions in a structured manner guided by a supportive scholar. Lastly, I sincerely hope that any future students can greatly benefit from this course as much as I have.

Learn about Islamic theology in a way that's grounded in the Islamic intellectual heritage while being able to appreciate developments in the contemporary age as a modern Muslim seeker of truth. The course brings together seamlessly all the various threads that have contributed to shape the Sunni theological perspectives, establishing the apparent truthfulness of Islam in an intellectual manner without getting lost in the maze of academic vagaries.
