Assalamu-alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu,

Essentially these are the point by point topics covered in LOG (these were covered when I took LOG):

Topics to be Covered in this Seminar:

1.) Definition of Tawheed;

2.) Importance of Tawheed;

3.) Categories of Tawheed (history; differences of opinion regarding categorization schemes);

4.) Tawheed in Allah's Lordship (Ruboobiyyah): reality and definition;

5.) Quranic Proofs of Ruboobiyyah;

6.) Western Proofs for the Existence of God (Ontological, Cosmological, Kalam, etc.); - These are the proofs used by Philosophers

7.) Critique of Western Proofs; comparison w/ Islamic Proofs
Atheism (arguments; refutation);

8.) Ruboobiyyah by itself is incomplete (proofs) - THIS WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCEPT OF THE CLASS (Ruboobiyyah necessitates Uloohiyyah) - Shaykh Yasir kept stressing the importance of this point using evidence from the Jahilliyah Arabs and other sources

9.) Allah's Right to Be Worshipped (Uloohiyyah);

10.) Definition of Worship;

11.) Meaning of Ilah; meaning of Kalimah;

12.) Manifestations of Worship (Du'a, Sajdah, Tawwakul, Sabr, etc...);

13.) Deviations in Worship (Talismans, Magic, Astrology, etc...);

14.) Other concepts (Tabarruk; Tawassul; Shafa'aah; etc...);

15.) Shirk: definition; history; dangers; categories; causes;

16.) Evidences used by Muslims who seek to justify Shirk;

17.) Kufr and Nifaq: definition; dangers; categories; relationship with Shirk
Manifestations of Major Kufr;
