The 99 Names of Allah ﷻ

Course Description:

This course will take an in-depth look at the Asmaa’ al-Husna – the 99 glorious names of Allah ﷻ- and how they can render us a better understanding of Allah and our deen. Each week will focus on a few of the names with a deep explanation and a class discussion about what they mean to each of us. The class will include homework assignments that help to bring about further reflection and understanding and a term paper.
