One of the most powerful reminders given by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf at this yearâs Rihla program was that the Muslim scholars of the past had excellent pedagogical methods to teach the vast oceans of spiritual knowledge they had insight into.
One of these methods is to start teaching students a new subject using the 10 âessential elementsâ, which gives them a quick, but comprehensive overview of the entire subject.
So, for each field of knowledge, from Quran recitation (tajweed) to exegesis (tafseer), to the principles of deriving Islamic law (usul al-fiqh), to subjects you might be more familiar with, like grammar, maths, and geography… before delving into each subject, the student is taught the 10 essential elements of that subject.
This got me thinkingâŠ
The hardest part of being a teacher, coach & trainer of the Inside-Out Paradigm is that there are vast oceans of spiritual knowledge and insight to gain and a great deal that could be taught⊠but sometimes students feel as though theyâre ânot getting itâ and they can even become overwhelmed & frustrated.
Not any more.
At the next Paradigm Shift event, Iâm going to break down the Inside-Out Paradigm step-by-step into these âten essential elementsâ.
That way, within the very first session of the first day of the seminar, students will get a comprehensive overview of the Inside-Out Paradigm, and theyâll quickly understand:
- The essence & definition of the Inside-Out Paradigm
- Its subject matter
- Its fruits
- Its virtues
- Its relationship to other fields
- Its founder
- Its names
- Its sources
- Its Islamic legal classification
- Its topics
These are all areas which are usually touched upon at some point during a seminar, but during my next live event, âThe Paradigm Shiftâ, Iâm planning to teach all 10 areas, in a logical order, so that by the end of the very first morning, weâll all be on the same page.
From there, Iâll coach attendees and demonstrate how this life-changing understanding of psychology transforms our relationships, health, spirituality, finances, and other areas of our lives.
The Result: Youâll experience the Inside-Out Transformation, and everyone will leave the 3-day event knowing how the mind works, in a way that connects us with Allah, the Most Near, and empowers us to transcend our egos. InshaâAllah.
If you want to come to my 3-day life-changing live event, âThe Paradigm Shiftâ, in Central London, during the last weekend of October, the ticket will be ÂŁ497. However, if you join The Ocean today, for a tiny fraction of that investment, you can come to this event as a 1-off gift from me, for free:
