Understanding God in Islam: Empowering Emotional Resilience against Apostasy
Join us in this illuminating workshop as we embark on a quest to explore the essence of “ilāh” (God). Together, we will delve into the fundamental components that deal with the essence and attributes of God, encompassing concepts such as deity, necessary being, and the transcendent.
We will unravel the profound significance of a necessary being and understand the rational contradictions that arise when rejecting this concept. Our aim is to foster a deep and meaningful connection with God, transcending emotional bonds through a thorough comprehension of His true nature. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in the enlightening discourse and cultivate a profound relationship with the Divine.
