Biology is a requirement for graduation in most U.S. states, and knowledge of living systems is essential for myriad pursuits in scientific knowledge. Imam al-Ghazali state that spiritual aspirants should possess two types of knowledge: fiqh and medicine. Biology is a precursor to the second; however, it is often taught in schools without regard for the wonders of creation, evidence of a Creator, and the limitations of the natural sciences.
Dar al-Afia’s Biology course aims to redress these deficiencies while preparing students for the CLEP in the subject, which can provide students with university credit for the course at most tertiary institutions. The 17-week course will not only address the components of the College Board’s examination in weekly online modules and twice-weekly live sessions but will also explore deeper scientific concepts with regular analysis of articles by top minds in the field and in the philosophy of science.
