  • Advanced Islamic Law

      • Islamic law, or jurisprudence (fiqh), is the process of inferring Sharia rulings from their sources. Students will be acquainted with the technical terminology of fiqh and learn how principles discussed in uṣūl al-fiqh are applied in fiqh. Through close textual reading of Shaykh Bāqir al-Irwānī’s Al-Fiqh al-Istidlālī, students will engage in a detailed study of the laws, the juristic method of extrapolating them, and the critical analysis of the juristic procedure and its ensuing rulings. Advanced modules cover juristic evidence for derivation (ijtihad) and emulation (taqlid), and selected reading from Shaykh al-Anṣārī’s Makāsib.

  • Advanced Logic

      • This course provides students with a complete overview of classical logic, the science of correct thinking. Students are introduced to some of the rudimentary building blocks of classical logical theory, including concepts, the theory of definitions, and the five universals using Shaykh Muḥammad Riḍā al-Muẓaffar’s textbook al-Manṭiq. In the latter modules students embark on a detailed study of syllogistic reasoning in which they investigate syllogisms from both their formal and material aspects culminating in the study of the so-called “Five Arts” – demonstration, dialectic, rhetoric, poetry and sophistic.
