Qur'an Talks in the UK (Part 1 of 6)

Shaykh Fadhlalla Haeri

This is the first in a series of several sessions hosted in the England. Whereby Shaykh Fadhlalla discusses select fundamental themes from the Academy of Self Knowledge teachings and cosmology with special emphasis on its Qur’an essence. One of the purposes of the ASK teachings is to present the Universality of The Qur’anic teachings and openings in manner that is accessible beyond language and culture. These discourse’s straddle both the particular and the universal covering a compendium of key topics from the Qur’an. The emphasis throughout is transformative knowledge and appropriate means in deriving that knowledge towards living a wholesome life.

The focal point in the first discourse is the Adamic metaphor from which various essential questions are addressed. Adam didn’t know what eternity was. The metaphoric descent from the Gardenic state into the world of dualities and thus the rise of consciousness, sentiency and movement of life on its journey back to origin. With reference to key Qur’anic verses Shaykh Fadhlalla explores the themes that are central to human cosmology and existence: self-awareness, reflectiveness, Unity and the unified self, the quest for reality and the road maps and that delineate the clear path of navigation. Human challenges all form part of the composition and dynamics of life on its journey back to its cosmic essence. Additional Key topics include: Guidance, striving, freedom and determinism, action and the purpose of service in human development and the prophetic and Qur’anic method in addressing the diverse life forces which drive and affect human life.
