Family and Society Today: Shaykh Abdullah Adhami

"Family and Society Today" is a ground breaking lecture series exploring the human condition, and how the dynamics of family and society are microcosms of principles of order that govern the universe. Shaykh Adhami highlights how the guidance of Shari'ah helps us to navigate the various domains of order with dignity and sense. The series also discusses how physiology informs jurisprudence, and how neuroemotive science can deepen appreciation of our spiritual essence. In addition to navigating through concepts of power, order, authority and marital relations from multi-disciplinary perspectives, this unique series concludes with a discussion on homosexuality, and stem-cell research by the earliest muslim doctors in the second-century AH (Hijri Calender).
