Iman, Aqidah and the Needs of Our Times Many people study aqidah as an identity, yet overlook the essence of iman. In this clip, Shaykh Akram Nadwi explains why iman is lived conviction, why Islam is the surrender of the heart, and how aqidah became tied to group belonging rather than a real understanding of iman. Join us for a two day course based on his new book Safwat al Aqaid, where he will clarify the difference between iman, Islam, and aqidah, and how this shapes our faith today. 6 to 7 December 2025 10:00 am to 6:00 pm UK time Live online via Zoom Register: alsalam.ac.uk/aqidah-iman
