It is a commentary on a short poem called "The Lustrous Pearl" (al-Kharida) which covers the essential points of faith that all Muslims must know. Our conversations will cover the "Big Questions" that many ask, including "does God exist?" "how is God known and described?" "does God send prophets?" "how do we know what is true, good, and right?" "what is the nature of the human being?"and so on. We will also connect these classic questions to contemporary concerns and inquiries.
