CVIC Women's Committee proudly presents:
Essence over Letter'
A Practical Introduction to Maqasid Al-Sharia

Why am I Muslim?
What does Islam mean to me?
Why does Islam demand these rituals from me?
The struggle for the soul of Islam has become a struggle lost on
definitions; what Islam means to the west, the manifestations of Islam in the global south and this constant flaw in limiting a way of life to a set of rituals. Islam has an essence, one that transcends the struggles of definitions and the constraints of societies and culture.
Come let's explore the essence of this beautiful way of life.
