Islamic Leadership and Community Development based on the Tafsir of Imam W. Deen Mohammed
Watch Course Overview Preview
As-Salaamu-Alaikum and welcome to the ILTDP Community Leadership component! The component has been designed to prepare a new generation of leaders with the necessary skills and abilities to carry our Islamic Community into the future. The course was also designed to provide a unique, substantive, and interactive on-line learning experience; and to maximize your ability to meet your learning objectives. As a result, your active participation and feedback will be an integral part of our program.
The ILTDP Community Leadership component was developed to teach the primary functions, knowledge, skills, and abilities for Islamic Community leaders. The course reviews and explores dozens of key Islamic leadership concepts in conjunction with the Imam W. Deen Mohammed madhab (school of thinking). Our component also integrates key concepts from all three components of the ILTDP (including the Islamic Sciences, and IWDM Knowledge Body). The component reflects a two-course sequence; Year One: Theory and Conceptual Development; and Year Two: Skill Development and Application.
Learning objectives for the ILTDP Community Leadership component include:
- The unique 90-year history and progression of our Islamic community experience.
- The Qur’anic and natural foundations of community and leadership.
- Dimensions of Islamic leadership.
- The role of leadership in shaping community life.
- Analysis of the Islamic Sources including the Qur’an; signs and principles of Creation; life example of Prophet Muhammad (ppbuh); human nature and history.
- The principles of Islamic leadership (based upon the model of the Prophet).
- The principles of Islamic Community governance and organizational development.
- Applying the principles of Fiqh and Thinking of IWDM to the five pillars.
- Applying the major duties of Imams including Khutbah and Taleem development; Nikah; Janazah; Dawah; effective communication; and community representation.
Our ILTDP Community Leadership team looks forward to working with you over the next two years. If you have any questions about our component, please feel free to contact us.
