The text, إضاءة الضجنة في اعتقاد أهل السنة is a crucial, intermediate text that covers issues of belief and studying theology. I teach it to fourth-year students at my school, SWISS, which is online. I am currently running a summer session that I broadcast live on my Facebook wall Tues-Thursday at 430 pm, Eastern Standard Time.

As Ramadān quickly approaches it is vital to get in the zone: to be prepared before the month starts. Since it is the month of the Qur'an, it is essential that we reflect on one of its central components: knowledge. As our numbers grow in the West, our public engagement is going to increase, forcing us to move our faith from a private setting to the public square. How? Without education, we risk losing our faith in the name of acceptance, and without understanding society, we risk muting our voice from public spaces it could benefit.

From time to time, I will post focus groups I've facilitated with different demographics of Muslims. Listening is essential; perhaps one of the best ways to learn about the needs of people.

Instead of starting with a lecture, they broke up into groups and focused on the following: What kind of dawa would help me reach my potential What are my personal dawa needs What are my environmental dawa needs Their thoughts are valuable, as I told them, "gold" for anyone working with college students and engaged in religious education and ministry. I left with a lot to think about, and I appreciated their sharing. If you like the work I do, please support me by signing up for my online institute, SWISS at suhaibwebb.com

God's love is manifest in disruptive moments - success or trials, that remind us to look deeper and see with ihsān that secret: that all things are powered by one God; Allāh who is the only one worthy of worship. How can we understand Allah's love and what are its signs?
