If you’re a teenage girl in KL who wants to study why Islam is true, please come down to Mukha Ba this Sunday from 10:30-12 pm. The entryway is to the right of Mukha Cafe, and my class is up two flights of stairs.
This week’s topic, The Problem of Evil, fees so incredibly relevant in the face of the ongoing Gazan genocide. I hope that studying this topic with me will give you as much comfort as I gain from teaching it. This is an 8-week course, and this Sunday’s lesson will be Lesson 5. The last three topics are Miracles, Mass Transmission and The Miracles of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Evolution. I plan to continue running the course next year and make it open to all women of all ages, inshaAllah, so please stay tuned for more updates!
For everyone else who wants to make sense of so much evil in this world, please sign up for Why Islam is True, taught by my one of my teachers, Shaykh Hamza Karamali. There are 3-monthly or 6-monthly payment options and also financial aid.
