Logic for Children

basmala

Announcing the good news of the program,
“Whoever learns logic for a month (shahran) lives forever (dahran)”
(a saying among members of the Zawiya Sulukiya Institute—opposing and against its inherited counterpart: whoever learns logic for a month becomes a heretic forever)

All praise is due to Allah and He Suffices, and may prayers and peace be upon our Master Muhammad the Chosen, and his Family and Companions, the people of loyal devotion.

With the end of the Hijri year near at hand, the Zawiya Sulukiya Institute announces its final resolution for the year 1436 and is passing on the good news to those who revere the thinking mind, and those who bear the burden of education for generations of people of Allah—education of the mind and heart, of contemplation (fikr) and remembrance (dhikr).

The Zawiya Sulukiya staff have recently finished a meeting of collective study and inquiry into a program of teaching logic for children. The meeting was concluded with the following resolutions:

1 – The Zawiya is to open a program of teaching logic for children beginning at the age of 11
2 – Training parents and teachers in developing the minds of students with rational education and with spiritual purification
3 – The Zawiya is to write a curriculum for ‘Logic for Children’ to be adopted by Muslim schools in western countries
4 – Making the members of Islamic schools and Masjid study-circles aware of the importance of logic for children and assisting them in teaching it

The following needy servants (fuqara) of Allah will manage the program:

The slave of his Lord, the needy servant, Abu Mouiz: General Management and Direction
The needy servant, Ustadh Shabeer – Specialist in Philosophy and Mathematics: Teaching and Training
The needy servant, Ustadh Muhammad – Specialist in Education, Philosophy, and Sociology: Direction and Academic Support
the needy servant, the student Muhammad: Administrative Management, and the Collection and Transcription of Articles

May Allah give success to the Muslims in the east and west in the organisation and development of intellects, and in the education (tarbiya) and purification of souls. And “whoever learns logic for a month (shahran) lives forever (dahran).”

We pray that we and you remain in His care, and all praise is for Allah firstly and lastly.
