Do You Have a Black Belt in Logic, Critical Thinking, and Debate?

Part of Alasna Institute's mission is teaching Muslims how to think more logically and critically. In that vein, we have developed a new certificate program called Jadil!

The name comes from the Quran, in the ayah:

"Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue (jadil) with them in a way that is best." [16:125]

Allah commands us to argue in the best way. What does this mean and how can we fulfill this command? These questions and more are answered in Alasna's newest program.
