Description:

The following course aims to introduce students to the concepts, terms, and methods employed by scholars in the field of Islāmic Logic. Islāmic Logic is a science that plays a pivotal role in developing one’s understanding of ʿAqīdah (Islāmic Theology), Uṣūl Al-Fiqh (Principles of Jurisprudence), and other sciences.

Many works have been authored in this field, Al-Sullam Al-Munawraq is the famous 144-line poem of Al-Akhḍarī, which has been used as a primer to the subject. Students will have the opportunity to go through the poem, and can expect a breakdown of the terminologies, and concepts in Islāmic Logic.

Objectives:
1) Textual Breakdown: Deciphering the text, linguistic breakdowns of the text.
2) Critical Analysis: Critically analyzing the discussions that come in Islāmic logic and seeing their relationship with the other sacred sciences.
3) Questions and Answers: The instructor will address student-specific questions and queries about the text, the class discussions, and the science in general. This will allow the students to have an interactive and thought-provoking learning experience.
