Kemal Korucu will provide an introduction to basic tenets of Islam, the fundamentals of Sufism, and walk us through a practice from the rich tradition of Islamic mysticism.  Tasawwuf is an Arabic term literally meaning “to become a Sufi”. In this class we will study classical & modern interpretations of Tasawwuf as the spiritual dimension of Islam. 
The agenda will cover...
 
  • Basic beliefs and practices of Muslims as well as investigating Sufi answers to universal questions like —  Who am I? Who is God? Why am I here? What is my purpose?
  • We will be using scholarly works of contemporary scholars like Fethullah Gulen and Said Nursi as well as classical sources from Imam Al Ghazali and of course Rumi.
  • Diversity of the people and groups who identify as “Sufi” makes our investigation a challenge but hopefully we will learn and have fun at the same time as we dive into this deep ocean called Tasawwuf.   
Kemal discusses the workshop with the other presenters on The Spirit of Now podcast!
