4 Months Update: May to August 2022
˹This is˺ a Book which We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ so that you may lead people out of darkness and into light, by the Will of their Lord, to the Path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy.
The Qur'ān, Chapter 14, Verse 1
As-salāmu 'alaykum dear brothers and sisters,
On behalf of the whole team at Sapience Institute, I would like to thank you for your ongoing support. May Allah reward you abundantly. Our operation year starts from May, and since 4 months have past, it is time to update you on what we have been doing. Here is a snapshot...
NEW COURSES
10 new in-depth courses are being developed and are planned to be filmed this operational year. They will be made freely available on our learning platform. In October we will be filming three new courses on the innate disposition, the inimitability of the Qur'an, and the Islamic response to the post-modern and liberal discourse on gender and sexuality.
These course include presentation slides and multiple choice examinations. They aim to empower you to intellectually share and defend Islam. In-shā-a-Allāh.
NEW BOOKS & IMPACTFUL TRANSLATIONS
At least 2 new books are being written on da'wah and related topics. By the end of September, the first draft of one of the books will be completed by Dr. Osman Latiff. The book focusses on the essential charateristics, behaviours and psychology that need to be internalised by those who share and defend Islam. The books takes a deep dive into the Qur’an and and Prophetic way.
We have also planned 3 new translations of Arabic scholarly work, carefully selected to make an impact. By the end of January 2023, our partner Wordsmiths will have completed the translation of Ibn Taymiyyah’s book, Sharḥ ʿAqeedah al-Aṣfahāniyyah.
IN-DEPTH ONLINE SEMINARS
We have been delivering academic seminars on da’wah related topics with more being planned. These seminars are available on our website and YouTube channel.

This in-depth seminar explains who is The-Loving, unpacks the concept of worship, uncovers the relationship between knowledge and love, presents 7 reasons why Allah is worthy of our utmost love, and explains how to use this topic in the context of sharing Islam, and more.
