The ‘Aqliyyāt Initiative: Takhaṣṣuṣ in Kalam, Manṭiq, & Falsafah

The ’Aqliyyāt Initiative aspires to impart the Islamic rational sciences (’aqliyyāt) through an approach that remains firmly grounded in the Sunni intellectual tradition while engaging with contemporary challenges. In an era dominated by various isms and schisms, the creedal risks and intellectual challenges facing Muslims—particularly those in majority non-Muslim societies—have grown exponentially. Thus, the need for training scholars on the ground who can offer sufficient answers to theological quandaries and contribute to contemporary kalam discourse cannot be overstated.

The Revelatory Sciences Takhaṣṣuṣ in Ḥadīth & Tafsīr

The Revelatory Sciences program is a rigorous postgraduate specialization program committed to the advanced study of the Islamic textual sciences (ʿulūm naqliyyah) of ḥadīth and tafsīr and their ancillary sciences. The program emphasizes close engagement with classical texts and methodologies, equipping students with the research skills necessary to critically analyze and synthesize important works. Through this process, students are prepared to address contemporary critiques and misconceptions surrounding the Quran and Sunnah, and to articulate a principled, academically grounded defense of the revelatory tradition in the modern intellectual landscape.
