This course looks at the theme of Sulūk (spiritual wayfaring) through thematically analysing Ibn ʿAjībah’s (d. 1224/1809) commentary on The Book of Aphorisms (Kitāb al-Ḥikam) of IbnʿAṭāʾAllāh (d. 709/1309), entitled Īqāẓ al-Himam fī Sharḥ al-Ḥikam (The Awakening of Spiritual Aspirations in the Commentary of the Ḥikam). The Hikam contains all the essential insight required for spiritual wayfaring (sulūk) on the Sufi path, its appeal lies precisely in its ability to speak to the essential problems that plague the human condition in spiritual journeying. In this course four major themes of the commentary will be shared: understanding the nature of the spiritual path from its goals (teleology), forms of knowledge (epistemology), origins (ontology) and culmination (soteriology).
📑 Course Format & Highlights:
- 10 Weekly Classes (Live & Recorded)
- Explore Īqãz through the lens of spiritual teleology, epistemology, ontology and more
- Guided reflections and discussions
- Access to WhatsApp Group to share Feedback and Questions

As we are in the sacred months of Pilgrimage, this retreat aims to facilitate a reconnection to Allah Most High, His Messenger, (peace be upon him), ourselves, and each other. We will be spending time in nature, eating, praying, and building our capacity to be present in reflection, both communally and individually. For those of us unable to take the pilgrimage to Mecca this year, join us for this unique opportunity to step away from the city and journey with presence!

The best aspect of ISIP, which I have seen, is the genuine, kind,
and unconditional support of each member. In fact, there is no shortage of support at any time. This has been an incredibly enriching experience!

Masha'Allah ISIP is a fantastic resource and a must see for anyone interested in Islamic Psychology. The topics, the sessions with renowned scholars and resources shared are very relevant and several times introduced me to the depth of Islamic Psychology work that is taking place worldwide. It helps break away from the perception that Islamic Psychology is simply an emerging field. To add, it is a community like no other!

I love how the events are conducted in a very peaceful manner, they are actually very resourceful. The Q and As are great! The Whatsapp groups are regulated very respectfully which is quite a task when we have such a daunting number of people in it. Overall the ambience that the sessions and discussions have is beautiful to witness and makes me hopeful of a great future and scope that IP has worldwide.
