Development of Spirituality in Religious Praxis: A Journey from “is” to “ought."

Development of Spirituality in Religious Praxis: A Journey from “is” to “ought.” We often question the validity of the inner state of our faith. We think doubt in religious matters is nothing less than disbelief (kufr). The real test of the truthfulness of our claim to possess faith comes when we begin to doubt the validity of our rare experience of al-ghayb (known and yet invisible). This lecture will undertake to evaluate an important tradition that speaks to all of us in modern times whose major struggle is to understand and devote our life to religious truth in the context of rational modernity – our essential and existential reality today.

This will be an in person presentation which will also be broadcast live at: http://live.iman-wa.org.
