9th Annual
ALIM Winter Program
ALIMprogram.com
Theme: Islam and the Secular State
ALIM Winter Program - Overview
The American Learning Institute for Muslims Winter Program is a 4-day intensive study of one of many traditional Islamic sciences in the context of the modern American paradigm.
The Winter Program was designed to meet the apparent need for a shorter intensive program focused on specialized themes. This program targets those who cannot make the Summer Program because of time commitment and those alumni who want more exposure to the ALIM learning philosophy throughout the year. This program rotates across the United States. For 2009, the program will be held in the Greater Washington DC area and the theme will be "Islam and the Secular Society".
“Islam is the answer.” … the rallying cry of Muslim movements for more than a century. What does this mean? Is it hollow or pithy? While all 21st century Muslims do not doubt the practical usefulness of following shariah as a means towards taqwa and personal piety, the social and – more importantly – political implementation of shariah throughout the world brings with it its own problematic: what and how?
* What should be the place of religious law in the political fabric of a modern world where individual and minority rights as enshrined by the UDHR are held with utmost regard?
* How was shariah viewed in the premodern world, and how does this view differ with modern day Muslim movements that seek to implement it, however they may define it.
* How does the Islamic and modern views compare: are they mutually exclusive, one in the same, or something in between?
The next ALIM Winter Program will seek to ask the relevant questions regarding the nature, scope, and historical role of shariah law in Muslim communities, and their contemporary relevance – all in an effort to strengthen our understanding of our faith.

O my Lord! I am indeed needy of whatever good You may send to me
[Surah Qassas; 28:24]
The above du'a was made while Musa (alayhis salam) was traveling to the desert of Madyan, and he had no shelter - nowhere to stay for rest. He made this du'a while resting under the shade of a tree, and consequently the father of the two sisters in the story invited him to stay with them... |
| رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي |

O my Lord! Expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; And remove the impediment from my speech, so they may understand what I say
[Surah Ta-Ha; 20:25-28]
A du'a that Musa (alayhis salam) made when proceeding to the court of Fir'awn (Pharoah) for the arguments (inviting him to Islam) |
| اَللَّهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِىْ دُنْيَاى الَّتِىَْ فِيْهَا مَعَاشِىْ وَ اَصْلِحْ لِىْ اخِرَتِىَ الَّتِىْ فِيْهَا مَعَادِىْ وَ اجْعَلِْ الْحَيوةَ زِيَادَةً لِّىْ فِىْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَّ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِىْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ |
| Allahumm-aslih li diniyalladhi huwa ismatu amri, wa aslih li dunyaya-llati fiha ma'ashi, wa aslih li akhirati-llati fiha ma`adi, waj`alil-hayata ziyadatan li fi kulli khair, waj`alil-mauta rahatan li min kulli sharrin |
O Allah! Set right my faith which is the safeguard of my affairs. And set right for me my worldy affairs wherein is my living. And set right for me my Hereafter on which depends my after-life. And make my life for me (a source) of abundance for every good and make my death a source of comfort for me protecting me against every evil
[Muslim, 35/6565]
[Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) used to say (the above)] |
