(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Peninsula
Doha: The College of Islamic Studies at Hamad Bin Khalifa University will host a series of Shari'a workshops titled Shariah Objectives for Civil Society.
The workshops, to be held separately for men and women, will focus on the impact of Islamic law and how it helps in building a just society.
Dr. Mohamed El Gammal, Associate Professor of Comparative Fiqh, CIS, will kick off the women's workshops on January 10 at the CIS Auditorium, Minaretein Building. Some of the points to be covered in the series include how to solve modern problems in the context of Islam and how to promote compassion in society.
The first workshop will examine Shariah rulings and what it aims to achieve. It will also seek to encourage students to recognise their responsibilities in following Islam and to support them in taking part in the Islamic Renaissance. The objectives of religion, how much it is needed, and how much people observe religion will also be examined. The second lecture will look at the role of ethics and modern values in Shariah. The third lecture will focus on connecting with people and being compassionate, while the fourth will look at the objectives of Shariah and solving modern-day problems.
Dr. El Gammal said:“It is important to place Shariah in a modern-day context and ensure that followers are applying the rules to their everyday lives while maintaining pride in being a Muslim. These workshops will underline the concept of Shariah and its basic principles. We encourage all members of the community to attend.”
All workshops are being held at the Minaretein Building in Education City and will be conducted in Arabic. The women's series takes place on January 10,17, 24, and 31 between 4pm and 6 pm. Meanwhile, the men's workshops will be held on January 11, 18, and 25, and February 1 also between 4 pm and 6pm.
