Understand what correct Islamic spirituality is and is not
Imam Ahmad Sirhindi was a great Indian scholar of the Naqshabandi tradition and is renowned as one of the revivers of Islamic spirituality. His Letters are one of the most influential writings in Islamic spirituality, covering a diverse range of key topics in a profound yet deeply practical manner, including:
the legal legitimacy and necessity of Sufism as a formalized discipline in context to other sacred disciplines of Islamic knowledge and practice.
the place of traditional (Ahl Sunna wa Jama' ) creed and the importance of the surviving legal schools.
The place of following and emulating of the prophetic precedent (sunna) will be succinctly clarified via the Imam's teachings.
Spiritual perfections and attainment to a realized 'ikhlas'.
During the 12+ live classes, Shaykh Naeem will make the work of Imam Ahmed Sirhindi accessible to students by putting them into a Western context.
