LIFE 2016 Summary Report

The LIFE 2016 9-day intensive program focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of Islam. The program delved into the intellectual, spiritual, ethical, and practical aspects of Islam’s teachings and how they relate to community life and experience. Sessions included an introduction to Islamic Philosophy, Theology, Law, Mysticism, and Ethics. Activities include duʿāʾ gatherings, akhlāq sessions, workshops, round-table discussions with scholars, and recreational and service activities. A new component to this year’s LIFE Intensive course is the Initiatives Session, which involves a group project aiming to address challenges and create opportunities by planning out new initiatives and building institutions. Participants were provided a comprehensive project plan to facilitate their projects. Below you will find a summary of the three-week course.
