Striking the Balance - The Principles behind Maslaha & Maqasid
The concept of Maslaha (benefit) and the Science of Maqasid (Higher Objectives of Islamic Law) intricately link all of the injunctions of the Shari’ah.
This course looks at how knowledge of the Maqasid influences rulings and whether the spirit of the law overrides its letter. We explore who decides what the general aims of the Shari’ah are and how this decision is made.

"The retreat was an amazing experience!! I enjoyed my experience here and I honestly cannot wait for the next one!"
"Alhamdulillah, sisterhood, amazing knowledge, great activities and much more! Loved and enjoyed every bit of this retreat alhamdulillah! So, so grateful to be in this programme!"
"Sisterhood was amazing, the teachers were excellent, the staff were brilliant, cannot fault this experience and advise all sisters to try it out!"
"What makes me return to the retreats is the content, it's very relevant and deep. It's something that needs to be learnt by all practising muslims. But not only the content but also the sisterhood - sisters from all around the UK and the world get together to learn for the sake of Allah - can't get more beautiful than that"
"I have to say I found it more useful than I could have imagined. The fact it was online meant I could slot it into my other commitments without needing to be away from them. It provided Iman boosting snippets that lasted the entire week."
"It was a very pleasant experience. My team and all the other sisters were very welcoming and inclusive. The Sabeel experience has boosted my Eemaan, my confidence, taught me so many skills along the way, presenting, speaking, critical thinking, creative skills, cooking and allowed me to set aside time for my own personal growth on my deen. I have made long term friends with all my team members Alhamdulillah"
