| [center]The American Learning Institute for Muslims (ALIM) is Proud to Present… 2003 Winter Program--Islamic Law: A Disciplined Art Sterling, Virginia December 27-30 [/center] Is Islamic Law a scientific discipline or a nuanced art? What are the major complexities of Islamic Law and how did they originate? How has it developed over the centuries? How can we make it relevant to our lives today? This 4-day course set in the backdrop of the nation’s legal fountainhead aims to examine in-depth these important questions relevant to the American Muslim mind. By offering an approach that encourages literacy and critical thinking within this sophisticated discipline, the Winter Program will introduce students to the ocean of Islamic Law through the cutting-edge scholarship of its classically trained instructors. ***BONUS*** In addition to the standard classes, ALIM instructors are preparing papers on contemporary Islamic Legal matters to be presented and discussed for the first time at this event.
