Islamic philosophy is basically thinking about the world through the lens of Islam. It combines Islamic teachings with ideas from ancient Greek thinkers, especially Aristotle and Plato. They explored questions like God’s existence, creation, and the role of reason in faith. It flourished during the Islamic Golden Age, around 9th-12th centuries CE. It’s not just religious thought, but uses reason to explore the world alongside faith. Thinkers like al-Farabi and Ibn Sina played a big role, drawing on Greek ideas like logic and metaphysics. There was debate – some argued reason could prove God’s existence, others saw faith as primary. Islamic philosophy influenced Western thought through translations to Latin, impacting figures like Aquinas.

As I am very interested in the study of Shi’i theology the wide variation of the topics covered fully addressed my expectations. The concept to have for each topic a professor specialized in the subject is indeed unique. I also attended the course you organized in 2021 (July 12th to 31) and the course of this year is the perfect example of my philosophy that study and dedication is a lifelong process.
I really enjoyed the course. Having PowerPoints in most of the presentations was really useful too. I would like to see more work on irfan and examine the mystical aspects of Shi’i Islam too.
I was very glad to have had the opportunity to hear these lectures and to buy a book which is beautiful and profound. Both Dr Shomali and Dr Inloes gave excellent courses. I loved the idea that there is only one sacred book but different editions. I believe in the importance of traditional family roles. Well done, Hikmat!
This was first systematic and comprehensive course in Shi’i Theology for me and I would like to express my gratitude for letting me attend this course.
Thank you for providing us this great opportunity I’ve learned a lot and this course was something that it was a long time I was wishing for.
It was a wonderful three weeks journey of learning and friendship. I thank Hikmat Institute, and all the lecturers and participants for making it to happen.
