Akhlaq Classes

The hawzah tradition of dars akhlaq — ethics lessons open to the public — and a list of well-attended classes by renowned teachers.

One of the beautiful and prominent features of the hawzah is the tradition of attending lessons on ethics (dars akhlaq). These lessons are integral to the curriculum of every seminary student and are also open to the public. Led by knowledgeable, experienced scholars, dars akhlaq sessions explore the teachings of Islam on moral conduct, character refinement, spiritual wayfaring and purification of the soul, with an emphasis on the practical application of ethical principles in daily life. They cultivate a deeper understanding of Islamic ethics and encourage you to embody virtues such as honesty, kindness, humility and compassion, and to strive on the path of attaining proximity to Allah (swt) through self-purification.

Some of the commonly attended classes by renowned teachers are listed below.
