The Leap of Faith

The Leap of Faith

THE PROGRAM

While struggling to maintain a balance between our academic and professional lives, often times, we push our desire to discover Islam further downstream. Although we find ourselves in a less than ideal world, facing situations that are far from easy; it is important to remember that today’s problems are not new, nor are their solutions impossible to find.

This interactive seminar will define some of these major challenges, and discuss practical ways to address them as we walk this tightrope of faith. Learn to win the every day battles we face; and more importantly, how to gauge your progress on this path. Don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity to gain some valuable insights in a uniquely comfortable setting. Remember to bring your friends along!___________________________________________
