Attend every Tuesday session

Write every two weeks

A brief written assignment at the end of every two weeks, so the material is engaged with rather than only attended.

03

What you get

Tote bag and notebook

Access

Q&A with Shaykh Yasir Qadhi

Special sessions set aside for Luminaries students to ask what they're actually wrestling with.
