Al-Mabādīʾ al-ʿAshara
Driven by the first major fissure in Islamic intellectual tradition through the arrival of a huge amount of “foreign sciences”, the best minds of the Muslim curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.
Foundation of Islamic Education: al-Mabādīʾ al-ʿAshara
This Gateway course introduces al-Mabādiʾ al-ʿAshara—the ten foundational principles that classical Muslim scholars used to define, discipline, and order the sciences. Developed during periods of intense intellectual encounter and epistemic disruption, these principles ensured that new knowledge was neither rejected reflexively nor absorbed uncritically but integrated with clarity and hierarchy.
In an age when education often fragments disciplines and divorces knowledge from moral responsibility, al-Mabādiʾ al-ʿAshara restore an essential epistemic grammar. Participants will learn how a field of study is properly defined, what questions legitimately belong to it, how it relates to other sciences, and what ethical accountability governs its pursuit.
Designed for teachers, scholars, and institutional leaders, this course provides the conceptual foundations necessary to move from Muslim schools to truly Islamic education—where knowledge is ordered, purposeful, and rooted in tawḥīd.
