AlMaghrib Institute: Heavenly Hues - Thematic Tafseer
Introducing AlMaghrib Institute’s brand new DOUBLE-WEEKEND-DEGREE Seminar
Heavenly Hues: Thematic Tafseer.
We all agree that the Qur’an is a message to Mankind, but what is at the heart
of this message? What is Allah telling us? Heavenly Hues: Thematic Tafseer will
not only allow you to understand the reason for the Qur’an’s revelation, it will
pinpoint the most important aspects of this message by analyzing verses based on
their overarching themes. You will come away from this seminar understanding the
objective of the Qur’an and the role it plays in defining your life.
Thematic Tafseer is the “Qur’anic science which interprets different issues and
themes in view of the Qur’anic objectives through the study of one Surah or
more; or through multiple Ayat.”
By Attending this Seminar you will:
*Finally understand why the Qu’ran is the greatest miracle given to mankind.
*Understand the evolution of Tafseer and how the scholars of the past have
studied the major themes of the Qur’an
*Have knowledge on the types and the sources of Qur’anic tafseer
*Learn the major themes of the Qur’an along with an explanation of importance of
each theme.
*Be able to speak to others about the Qur’an with knowledge and confidence.
The seminar will be held Friday 3/14/08 - Sunday 3/16/08 and the following
weekend Fri 3/21/08 - Sun 3/23/08

Asian Pacific American Coalition Survey
Hello George Mason University MSA students,
&nbHello George Mason University MSA students,
My name is Jennifer Lovell, and I am a clinical psychology graduate student at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. I have noticed that much of the research on body image issues is focused on Caucasian/European American women, and there is an unfortunate lack of research in psychology on women of South Asian origin. I personally do not have a South Asian background, but I have spent limited time studying in India and have a great appreciation for its culture and people. One of my faculty committee members, Dr. Meera Komarraju (Link). In my study I would like to focus on South Asian American women students and address issues such as self-esteem, beliefs and attitudes about attractiveness, and eating behaviors/feelings.
If you identify as a woman of South Asian origin, and are a student in the United States, please participate in this online survey by going to the link below. You have an opportunity to contribute to research that will hopefully aid in understanding more about this important topic. Also, please forward this email to other women who may be interested in participating. This survey should only take 10-20 minutes of your time. Your responses will be kept confidential; however, at the end of the survey you will be given an opportunity include your e-mail address if you would like to receive a summary of the results and/or be entered into a lottery to win one of two $50 prizes! Your participation in this research is voluntary.
If you have any other questions please contact the researcher, Jennifer Lovell (LovellSAsurvey@gmail.com), or her supervising professor, Dr. David DiLalla, Department), or her supervising professor, Dr. David DiLalla, Department of Psychology, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (618.453.3529, Life Science II).
