*ABSOLUTE ESSENTIALS* In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Beneficent Wilaya Trust presents a one-year programme of learning for all adults in Oxford. Any action undertaken by a Muslim must be guided by knowing its significance as judged by Allah and His Messenger. As scholars developed what are now independent subjects of Islam, the identification of Fardh ‘Ayn (Obligatory) knowledge also emerged — what every adult Muslim is required to know, and neglecting this responsibility means they will be held accountable before Allah. Across three 10-week terms, students will gain their Fardh ‘Ayn (Obligatory) knowledge, covering the following areas: *Belief and Theology* (Aqidah) *Practice and Understanding* (Hanafi Fiqh) *Purification of the Heart* (Tazkiya) The programme is accompanied by a course text, composed and, where necessary, translated from well-established works within the Sunni scholarly tradition. A key feature of the course will be to demonstrate the relevance of these classical works in addressing contemporary issues and challenges faced by Muslims, particularly in their practice and belief. For example, questions of practice, such as how to perform prayer when travelling, and questions of faith, including why God created us and why He allows injustice to occur. The course also aims to explore the spiritual and metaphysical foundations of Islam’s practices, providing a deeper understanding and the rationale for striving to become the best version of ourselves. Limited places. Please *register* at wilayatrust.org Whether starting from scratch as a new Muslim, or wishing to fill in the gaps in one’s knowledge, all adult learners are welcome. We also welcome younger Muslim students from 14+ years if able to participate in adult learning (must be accompanied by a registered adult student).
