Circle of Sacred Knowledge
Today we begin our exploration of traditional sacred knowledge with a session devoted to the essence and attributes of God.
We welcome everyone to the next session on Friday November 28, from Noon to 1:00 pm.
The circle meets at the Noor Cultural Centre in the upstairs library/classroom space. We conclude well before the congregational (jum'ah) prayer service. While the texts and topics will come from the Islamic spiritual tradition, people from all faiths are invited to participate and stay for the Friday (jum'ah) prayer service which begins at 1:20 pm.

Community-Service Courses on Islam, Islamic Spirituality, and Comparative Religion
Every year we try to run introductory courses on Islam and various aspects of Islamic Thought for the general public. These courses strive to offer university-level content and intellectual standards while foregoing the tests and research assignments required within strictly academic environments. While most of these community-service courses were graciously hosted by the Noor Cultural Centre between the fall of 2007 and the spring of 2012, we have now taken our educational work into the wider world, and so these courses can take place anywhere -- even in your office or workplace. Please contact us if you are interested in requesting or attending such a course:
