Islam 101 (HIA)

You grew up Muslim. You know the basics. But how well do you understand why you believe, how Islam approaches the questions of the modern world, how Islamic law actually works, and how faith is meant to transform you internally?

Islam 101 is designed to bring the answers together.

Across approximately 120 hours of study, you’ll explore Islam through three essential dimensions:

What you believe. How you live. Who you become.

Build an intellectual foundation for your faith.

The goal is not simply to give you answers, but to help you develop a coherent Islamic worldview through which those answers make sense.

Islam is not only something to understand or practise outwardly. It is meant to transform us.

This section introduces the Islamic spiritual tradition and the work of cultivating the inner self.

The goal is to connect Islamic knowledge with character, worship, self-discipline and spiritual growth.

Learn how Islam actually works in everyday life.

Islamic law can sometimes seem like a collection of disconnected rules: halal, haram, makruh, Sunnah etc.

This course begins somewhere more fundamental: How does Fiqh work?

You’ll first learn how Islamic rulings are developed and how a fatwa is constructed before studying practical areas of Muslim life.

The aim is to move beyond memorizing isolated rulings toward understanding the structure, reasoning, and application of Islamic law.
