A Term of Poetry and Eloquence

Peace, one and all…

‘The word ’God’ is used in most cases as by no means a term of science or exact knowledge, but a term of poetry and eloquence, a term thrown out, so to speak, at a not fully grasped object of the speaker’s consciousness, a literary term, in short; and mankind mean different things by it as their consciousness differs’
(Matthew Arnold, Literature and Dogma)

Exam Boards Come and Go!

Peace, one and all…

Al hamdu lillah.  The School Exam Board has met and approved all of this year’s results.  My very own module (Shi`a Islam: History & Theology) passed through the meeting unscathed, I am glad to say.  More importantly, it was good to see the hard work of many of our students rewarded with good degree results.

May Allah bless them all in their future endeavours.

Insha Allah, I will be off to London soon for a while – busily preparing for next year’s teaching.  Oh the fun never ends! 

Ma’as salama,
Abdur Rahman
