Unbeknownst to many, God provided believers with a curriculum presented by the angel Gabriel 1400 years ago. This divine guidance outlines what all believers on the Tradition of Abraham are required to learn and practice to faithfully adhere to God’s code in its entirety (known as īslāming in Arabic). This course will take you on a transformative journey through the five foundations, exploring the profound and fundamental concepts that define the primordial tradition of Abraham into today.
