Transformed by Worship
Explore worship as an act of submission and glorification that reaches every dimension of our lives. Drawing on the insights of Dr. Salah Soltan’s Transformed by Worship, we’ll uncover how worship is a powerful, dynamic force designed to drive both personal growth and communal reform. Through a structured study of core acts of worship—including purification, prayer, zakah, fasting, and Hajj—we will examine how each act empowers holistic development across four key dimensions: soul, character, mind, and body.
Participants will deepen their understanding of the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual impacts of worship and learn to appreciate these routines with renewed energy. Using scholarship and textual evidence, this course will help participants restore vibrancy to their worship and understand its potential as a source of transformative growth.
