SUMMARY:Floods\, Famine and Faith: Climate Lessons from the Stories of Nuh\, Musa and Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:Maqasid Institute is pleased to present a lecture titled: “Floods\, Famine and Faith: Climate Lessons from the Stories of Nuh\, Musa and Yusuf”. \nClimate change is usually discussed as a scientific\, economic or political problem. It is all of these. Yet the Qur’an and Sunnah invite us to see it more deeply: as a test of how faithfully we carry the trust placed in our hands. This lecture brings revelation and science into conversation\, asking what the Qur’an’s own accounts of environmental upheaval can teach a world facing a changing climate. \nKey Discussion Themes\n\n\nThe Story of Nuh (AS): A story of warning and response. In an age of repeated scientific warnings\, it asks what it costs a people to ignore a clear warning\, and what it means to prepare before disaster arrives. \n\n\nThe Story of Musa (AS): Carries the theme forward into questions of power and justice. It explores how corruption brings drought and suffering\, while the sharing of scarce water fairly ensures no group is left without. \n\n\nThe Story of Yusuf (AS): Completes the picture with a model of wise leadership\, resource management\, and long-term planning to navigate crises like food shortages and climate challenges. \n\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Gaathier Mahed \nAdjunct Associate Professor in Civil Engineering\, University of Cape Town \nDr. Gaathier Mahed has a strong background in Groundwater and has trained globally\, serving on technical panels for sustainable development water research. He holds voluntary executive and non-executive board positions at various NGOs and institutions\, and has a deep academic background intersecting science\, leadership\, Waqf\, and Islamic finance. Recognized widely for his academic and innovative excellence\, Dr. Mahed brings a unique multidisciplinary perspective to environmental science and sustainability. \nSession Details & Registration\n\n\n\n\nDate: 14th Nov\, 2026 \n\n\nTime: 3:00 PM Makkah Time \n\n\nFormat: Monthly Discussion Meeting (Online) \n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:Transforming Education: Shaping Hearts and Minds Through Revelation
DESCRIPTION:This course is grounded in the centrality of Revelation in shaping the philosophy of education. It revisits the foundational questions of learning: Why do we learn? What do we learn? How do we learn? For whom do we learn? Integrating Qur’anic principles with contemporary educational theories\, the course presents learning as a spiritual\, intellectual\, and behavioral practice that leads to tazkiyah (self-purification)\, understanding\, and sound judgment (rushd). \nThe course invites learners to move beyond superficial learning toward meaningful transformation\, guided by the Qur’anic logic of purposeful\, holistic\, and communicative learning. It explores how education can become a tool for iʿmār al-arḍ (earth cultivation) when aligned with the purposes of creation. It also critiques the disconnect between knowledge and ethical goals in modern systems\, proposing educational practices that enable transformative understanding and behavior. \nSchedule : \nLive sessions (Makkah Time — UTC+3): \n\nNov 21 — 3:00 PM\nMay 28 — 3:00 PM\nDec 5 —  3:00 PM\nDec 12 — 3:00 PM\n\nClick here for more information \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
