Will I Ever Find True Love? | Why Me?



A lot of us grow up with fairy tales about magical encounters, butterflies,
perfect fantasies, and happy endings. But is there such a thing as true love and
soulmates in Islam? What does Islam say about love? The Seerah is full of
stories about marriage and love that are timelessly relatable, and speak of all
types of fates. Because just like rizq, romantic love is also decreed by Allah,
and what Al-Wadud writes for you of love is more perfect for you than anything
you could ever desire.

CURRICULUM



Do you need Islam to be an ethical person?



A common sentiment held by many is that humans can be good without religion.
While our fitrah, our innate human nature, is inclined towards good, it does not
necessarily mean that it knows and follows the most ethical stance. Who defines
what is ethical, anyway? In this unit, students will explore why humans are in
need of ethical guidance by analyzing the limitations of the fitrah. Students
will recognize that even though we all have the capacity to be good, we need
revelation to center our understanding of ethics. By the end of this unit,
students will appreciate the transformative power of revelation and learn to
apply moral excellence in their own lives through the example of Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ.



Navigating Palestine’s struggle through faith



Muslims all over the world are witnessing the senseless violence and destruction
against our Palestinian sisters and brothers. In these difficult times, we may
find ourselves frustrated and in pain as we see the loss of innocent life. Such
emotions are a natural response to the atrocities taking place, but is there
more we can do as Muslims? How can faith help us navigate our current crisis?
The purpose of this lesson is to deepen our perspective on the presence of evil
and suffering through a God-centered worldview.



Islam and homosexuality: Reframing the narrative on LGBTQ



One of the major challenges facing religious communities is the pressure to
conform to the popular rhetoric of the LGBTQ movement, and to accept the
movement’s stances on same-sex acts. In this unit, we help students understand
what Islam says about same-sex desires and acts and empower them to challenge
the principles that underlie the LGBTQ movement.



Fasting and zakat: Winning through sacrifice



It is natural for Muslim youth to wonder about the purpose of rituals in Islam,
specifically those that require sacrifice. This unit takes a multi-dimensional
approach to understanding sacrifice in Islam, and explores the innumerable
benefits religious rituals can procure in our lives.



How can evil coexist with a merciful God?



The 'problem of evil' is a major point of contention in philosophical and
religious circles. To address the topic, this unit first clarifies the terms of
the debate by explaining that human knowledge can never encompass the reality of
'goodness' or 'evil.' It then surveys how Islamic theodicies have responded to
the problem of evil. The unit concludes by inviting students to explore how the
prophetic model allows them to find meaning and be inspired to act positively in
a world where 'evil' exists.



Conscious or coerced: Divine decree in Islam



This unit explores a difficult question brought up by Muslim youth and adults
alike: if God has knowledge of all things and we are subject to His will and
power, then how do we have free will? Students will explore the Qur'anic
discourse on predestination and free will to equip them with the tools to
navigate and resolve this apparent paradox.
