The current psychological climate limits the understanding of happiness to be only within the temporal and secular. This modern conception marshals virtue, the self, and ikhtiyār to instead serve the tragic spirit. In two of his seminal monographs (Islam: The Conception of Religion and the Foundation of Ethics and Morality & Meaning and Experience of Happiness in Islam), Prof. Al-Attas strives to remedy this corruption by rerooting the notion of happiness as sa'adah within the true standard of submission, which is Islam. This upcoming session, delivered by Dr. Roslan, shall combine these works in expounding the notion and how it ties to man's ultimate destiny.
