Session 01 : Why Faith Must Be Built: The Need for Intentional Īmān

Описание: Faith (Īmān) is not inherited — it is constructed, nurtured, and maintained.
In this opening session, Ustādh Mehdi Krafes introduces the purpose and structure of the course, explaining why Īmān must be built intentionally and what it truly means to “cultivate” it. The session explores the existential need for faith, the process of building it through knowledge, conviction, and practice, and the main factors that weaken belief in our time — from imbalance and neglect to the pressures of modern ideologies.

This episode sets the intellectual and spiritual foundation for the weeks ahead — calling us to reconstruct our understanding of ʿAqīdah and to live with confidence, serenity, and yaqīn in an age of confusion.
