(For more information on Deen Intensive programs please go to www.deen-intensive.com). (For full details on the Florida Winter Deen Intensive 2003 please go to www.madinah.org and click on Deen Intensive 2003) WINTER DEEN INTENSIVE 2003 The Winter Deen Intensive Program (DIP) 2003 will be taking place December 20 to December 26, 2003 at the Florida Lions Camp in Lake Wales, Florida (approx. 1 hr 30 min. south of Orlando). It is a week long course which takes place in the winter annually. There is also a month long Rihla Deen Intensive Program that takes place in the summer annually. First held in 1993 at Dar al-Islam in New Mexico, the Deen Intensive is a unique program whose goal is to inspire participants to undertake a serious study of their faith and apply it in their daily lives and in their communities. It is the goal of the program to provide a foundation in the basics of the Islamic sciences and encourage the further pursuit of sacred knowledge. The methodology of the Deen Intensive is based upon taking a complete approach to Islam as derived from the Quran and the Sunnah as it has been passed to us by men and women of knowledge in unbroken chains of transmission until today. The Hadith Jibreel acts as the basis for the curriculum and the topics covered reflect our deen in all its three dimensions: Islam (Submission), Iman (Faith), and Ihsan (Spiritual Excellence and Purification of the Heart). The program is open to both men and women. To be eligible to attend the DIP students should be at least 18 years of age. Adults and parents are encouraged to apply as well. WHY SHOULD I ATTEND? The Deen Intensive Program offers participants a unique opportunity to closely study the basic sciences of Islam with eminent Islamic scholars and teachers. The program will introduce and expand students understanding of the rich tradition of classical Islamic knowledge and give students how important the ulum al-din(core Islamic Sciences) are to the preservation and revival of Islam in the contemporary age. Participants will also experience the importance of an active spiritual life through their study of Ihsan and also gain insights into the importance of brotherhood and sisterhood. Furthermore, the DIP is a means to inspire believers to be active and dynamic members of their community - as Imam Ghazali said, Knowledge without work is insanity and work without knowledge is vanity and cannot be.
