Understanding the Muslim Mind
If we could take all of Islamic intellectual history, what sort of patterns and principles could we deduce? More importantly, if we found someone who actually knew all this information, what would they look like, think like, talk like, etc.? Is there such thing as a Muslim mind? Is it compatible with modernity, or is Islam irrelevant, backward, and antiquated?
These are the type of questions I used to have all the time. When I was younger, I longed for answers and examples that could demonstrate an enlightened Islam that is both fully compatible with the principles of Islam and with our modern lives. Understanding the Muslim Mind is a course designed to answer these questions and more. Throughout this course I do my best to present complex and multi-layered information into distilled and easily understood and replicable answers.

Why you should take this course:
What you’ll get when you sign up:
- If you’re here on this page, it means that you’re a seeker; you care about your personal faith as well as being a productive, active, and successful person. I want to show you how to do all that by being grounded it in our ethical paradigm as a way to inspire, not impede you.
- You can take all the classes and lessons you want on Islam, but if you don’t have a way to make sense of it all, a way to put it all together and implement it in your day-to-day life, what you learn has a great chance of confusing you rather than helping you.
- The material synthesized in this course is the result of decades of study across dozens of disciplines and is distilled in a way for the contemporary-English speaking Muslim to understand. To put it simply, and I’m being 100% transparent, you’re not going to find this somewhere else.
