Watch & Reflect Session: Understanding Tawheed & the Subtle Forms of Shirk
Click to Register
Tawheed sounds simple — One God.We see no idols in our mosques, we affirm Allah’s Oneness, and we believe we worship Him alone.So why does Allah warn us about shirk more than anything else in the Qur’an?
Because shirk is not always loud, obvious, or external.Sometimes, it’s hidden in intentions, actions, and thoughts, creeping into the heart without us realizing.
In this special Watch & Reflect session, we will explore:
Why Tawheed is the foundation of a believer’s life
How subtle forms of shirk enter our daily behaviour
What the Qur’an and Sunnah teach about protecting the heart
Reflections from scholars on modern-day challenges to Tawheed
Through a meaningful video presentation followed by guided reflection, participants will learn how to:
Strengthen sincerity in worship
Identify hidden shirk and avoid it
Restore purity of intention
Deepen connection with Allah in practical, everyday moments
Join Us
A session designed to awaken the heart, deepen faith, and inspire conscious worship.
Open to all.Hosted at IWAN — a space for learning, reflection, and spiritual growth.

About the Session
We live in a world that constantly teaches us to rely on effort, productivity, and visible outcomes. Success is measured by results, and worth is often tied to achievement.
But Ramadan gently resets our inner manual.
It restores clarity between the means we take and the One who gives them effect. It teaches us that while effort is necessary, true outcomes belong to Allah alone.
Through fasting, our trust is refined.Through hunger, our dependence is corrected.Through restraint, our hearts are realigned.
This session invites you to reflect deeply on how Ramadan reshapes our understanding of reliance (tawakkul), effort, and surrender — transforming everyday actions into conscious acts of faith.
What You Will Explore
The difference between effort and reliance
The spiritual psychology of fasting
Understanding true tawakkul
Recalibrating intention in daily actions
Letting go of control while striving with excellence
Why This Session Matters
In a performance-driven world, it is easy to believe everything depends solely on us.
Ramadan reminds us:
We strive.We plan.We work.But Allah is the One who grants results.
Step into Ramadan with clarity.Reset your reliance.Master the manual.

AI – the math behind the myth
From Math to Meaning: Understanding How AI Really Works
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—but how much do we actually understand what’s happening beneath the surface?
This session goes beyond trends and buzzwords to unpack how AI systems move from linear algebra and probability to handling language, culture, and context—and why they sometimes get it wrong.
Through clear explanations and real-world examples, we’ll explore the technical, cultural, and ethical layers of modern AI, especially in the context of local languages and grounded research.
What You’ll Explore
The mathematical foundations behind AI models
Why AI systems hallucinate and how those limitations arise
How AI performs across local languages and cultural contexts
Economic and ethical questions shaping AI adoption
Pathways to enter grounded, responsible AI research
Prerequisites:
1. Please watch this playlist for beautifully animated math behind AI: https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks
2. Test these models on how well it understands your culture in your local language: ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com/), DeepSeek (https://www.deepseek.com/en) & Thaura (https://thaura.ai/) (for example, recipes for a local dish). Give them all the same prompt and let us know your observations!
Who This Session Is For
Students and professionals curious about AI beyond surface-level tools
Researchers and technologists interested in ethical, inclusive AI
Anyone who wants clarity amid the noise of the AI boom
This is a learning-focused session designed to build understanding—not hype—around one of the most influential technologies of our time.
