The Story and Science of Hope
Hope is more than a feeling -- it can change the world! Discover how new science and ancient knowledge can help us face an uncertain world. All over the world, kids are struggling with grief, anxiety and fear about the climate crisis, war, and a future that seems out of their control. Sometimes it's hard to have hope - but hope may be the one thing that can change the world! Modern researchers - called Hope Theorists - are helping us to understand that we can use hope to improve our own lives and those of our neighbors, friends and even the planet. The Story and Science of Hope is an illustrated nonfiction book for middle-grade readers that weaves together ancient history with surprising new scientific research showing hope is more than a feeling -- it's essential for our well-being. People who are high in hope are happier and healthier, they live longer, do better in school and have stronger friendships. Learn the history of hope, how it can be measured, learned and practiced -- even where you can find hope in your brain (spoiler: it's the bilateral medial orbitofrontal cortex, above your eyes and a few centimetres inside your brain)! Backmatter includes real-world examples of hopeful environmental activists and a list of ways that kids can cultivate hope, as well as a glossary of unfamiliar terms, sources and further reading.

The newcomers built temporary communities, havens of people offering help, food, and shelter, to ease the loneliness and fear of a new country with a new language. And when they could, they ventured into the vast Midwest searching for jobs and safer futures.In an end note, the author shares her family's story of coming to America from Russia and further details the history of Jewish immigration, the organizations that helped facilitate the journeys, and how Galveston became a popular port.

Islamic Law and Wisdom - 2
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asserted that seeking religious knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman. Following the assertion of our Prophet, the purpose of this course is to provide its students with the required knowledge in the form of fresh insight into Islam, its beliefs, its practices, and the wisdom behind those beliefs and practices. In this course, the students will learn about Islam and its Laws, also known as Shariah, and appreciate the true essence of these Laws given by Allah SWT, which is purifying oneself. Every lecture or discussion will be a sincere effort to fathom how these directives play a significant role in self-development and the purification of oneself. Students will be asked to evaluate the subject matter presented to them rationally. This course focuses on the laws given by Allah SWT for Muslims (Shariah) to lead their lives in this world.
Survey of Contemporary Issues
The tragic incident of 9/11, recent violence and turmoil in many Muslim lands, and not-so-thoughtful responses of Muslim intellectuals on modern-day issues have raised many questions in the minds of sincere Muslims. In a traditional society, it is a tradition that is accorded centrality, but in today's world, reason plays a central role in society. The rational mind of this modern age is asking: "If Islam is the religion of peace, then why is terrorism associated with Islam?" "If the Quran gives equal status to men and women, then why are Muslim women oppressed in many Muslim societies worldwide, and the husband is allowed to beat his wife?" "How can a religion of mercy not allow a Muslim to pet a dog?" "If God has created all human beings, then why are people of the LGBTQ community not acceptable in a Muslim society?" "If science explains everything, what do I need religion for?" "Can Islam respond to the challenges faced in the contemporary world?" "Is Islam even compatible with the modern world?" This course is designed as an attempt to answer these and similar questions raised in modern minds in the light of the Quran, Sunnah, and the rich and long tradition of Islamic scholarship. Contrary to the common belief, Islam has provided fundamental guiding principles related to different aspects of a Muslim individual and society and left the details of practical application to the human faculty of jurisprudence so that different societies can apply the guiding principles of Shariah according to time and place.
Understanding The Quran
The Quran is the ultimate source of guidance for mankind, preserved in its original language. Even though it presents the same message revealed to the previous messengers, its style of delivering the message is unique. Most scholars of the Quran agree that the Quran is a remarkable book, possessing a unique genre and style that cannot be compared to any other book in the world. Understanding the genre and style of this book is essential for anyone who wants to appreciate the message and gain guidance from it. Due to a lack of understanding, many people fail to appreciate the Quran. They see the Quran as a book with disjointed statements, which often switches its addressees in a single verse and repeats its statements. This course covers various subject matter related to the Quran through examples (without delving into the Arabic language), including its style, topics, arrangement, consistency, collection, and transmission, which young students of the Quran must be aware of when reading it for a deeper understanding.

God and His Final Messenger - Seerah 1
Quran has made the obedience of Prophet Muhammad a condition for loving God and receiving love and forgiveness from Him (3:31). A hadith narrated by Anas ibn Malik implies that loving Prophet Muhammad reflects one's perfection of faith (Sahih Al-Bukhari 15, Muslim 44). Loving God and His messenger and obeying them is part of our religion. However, can we claim a deep and sincere love for someone without knowing the person? This two-part course endeavors to introduce God and His final messenger by studying the messenger's life on earth, also known as Seerah. Through this course, we will learn how his life was a true depiction of the Quranic teachings, how he lived, and how God manifested His being, commands, and practices through His final messenger. The content of this course is drawn from the Quran and other authentic sources. This course focuses on the life of Prophet Muhammad in Makkah until his migration from Makkah to Medinah, also known as the Makkan period.
