This is an abridged transcript of the second lesson on Theology for Muslim Educators. A Muslim school is where most of the staff and students are Muslims, and the school provides facilities for practicing Islamic rituals such as prayer, halal food, and hijab. Our goal is not to build just Muslim schools but instead Islamic schools with a clear Islamic ethos, a refined curriculum based on Islamic theology, and the ability to incorporate Islamic teachings into the education process.
Islamic theology is a discipline in which scholars study and understand different belief statements within the Islamic religion. Theology includes the study of beliefs such as the existence and justice of God, the attributes of God, the afterlife, prophethood, infallibility, and more. Theology is a study of belief systems and different schools of thought within Islam such as the Shi’i, Ash’ari, Mu’tazalis etc. It is also linked to the worldview of individuals and their behaviour. This course will be based on a Twelver Imami Shi’i perspective and will cover the fundamental beliefs within the Shi’i tradition.
