Sundays, April 5, 12, and 19 | 1 pm PST
A new Sunday series with Zaid Shakir, Talal Ahdab, and Faraz Khan
Sundays, April 5, 12, and 19 | 1 pm PST
According to our tradition, tribulation—notwithstanding its difficulty—always presents an opportunity for us to reorient our hearts to God. In his text On Benefitting from Misfortunes, al-’Izz ‘Abd al-Salam al-Sulami (d. 1262) laid out seventeen ways through which a person might raise his or her standing with God in times of distress.
Zaytuna College will host a live three-part
series, The Seventeen Benefits of Tribulation, based on Shaykh al-Sulami's
text, featuring cofounder Zaid Shakir and faculty members Talal Ahdab and Faraz
Khan. After his talk, each scholar will take questions from the online audience.
