ĪMĀN, ISLĀM, IĤSĀN, AND THE WORLDVIEW
This educational series explores tawħīd, the foundational Islamic concept of Divine Oneness, as a comprehensive worldview that bridges logical reasoning with deep spiritual experience. The lecture series will move from establishing the rational demonstrability of God’s unity to examining how this belief must manifest in right action and a conscious internal light – the practice of sharī‘ah at the level of iħsān. By contrasting this perspective with the human-centric focus of secular humanism, the series will highlight a return to man’s primordial nature and the ancient covenant of monotheism. Ultimately, the lecture series aim to guide students toward the state of servanthood, which is presented as the highest realisation of human potential and the key to maintaining a constant awareness of the Divine Presence. For phase one, Dr. Roslan Jelani will begin with the NATURE OF GOD and each topic in this phase will be covered in 2-4 sessions. The topics in this phase are as follows: 1. Tawħīd and the Worldview of Islām 2. Īmān and Spiritual Experience Regarding the Oneness of God 3. Secular Humanism & the Conception of God 4. Mīthāq, Fiţrah, and the Affirmation Regarding the Existence & the Oneness of God 5. On God's Attributes 6. Attitude Towards God and the State of Servanthood

NATURE OF GOD
(PHASE ONE)
Tawħīd and the Worldview of Islām (Part 1)
Nature of God (Part I)
11th July 2025
This lecture serves as a sophisticated introduction to the worldview of Islam, emphasizing that its core framework is rooted in the concept of Tawhid, or the absolute oneness of God. Dr. Roslan argues that this worldview is not a human construct but a permanently established reality revealed through the specific metaphysical language of the Quran, which transcends mere physical meaning to address the metaphysical domain. Unlike secular perspectives that rely on changing paradigms and human reasoning, the Islamic outlook integrates reason, sensible experience, and transcendental consciousness to acknowledge undeniable truths that exclude all falsehood. Ultimately, adopting this framework is presented as an essential means for a Muslim to regulate their inner self and outward actions, ensuring that every thought begins and ends with a profound consciousness of Allah.
