The Grounding: 3-Week module on Prophets, Privilege, and Purpose in Life


  • 46903 Sugarland Rd Sterling, VA 20164 USA (map)

This month's 3 week module will contrast two stories in the Qur'an: the story of Musa (AS) and that of his cousin, Qarun. What do the two stories tell us about the ethics of privilege and finding our purpose in life?

One of the most powerful ways of reading stories in the Qur'an is through contrast: how do related stories differ from each other in important ways, and how does that difference apply in our own lives?

The story of Musa (AS) and Qarun are deeply interconnected in Surat al-Qasas. By contrasting them, we can understand what it means to have privilege, how that privilege affects our relationship with Allah, and how we find our purpose in life as a result. Join us as we explore two Qur'anic stories and do a close reading of Surat al-Qasas in a way that deeply connects the Quran, its stories, and its lessons, with out every day life.

Registration required.
