Muslims Everywhere Want To Strengthen Their Faith
Atheism, Secularism, Liberalism, Feminism, Evolution, Materialism
How can Islam be true when it contradicts the most widely accepted ideologies of the modern day? This is the question Muslims face on a daily basis. And some have reached a crisis of faith. Let's face it. The apologetic, superficial answers aren't cutting it.
What is Alasna
Imagine if we could have a specialized training institute that educates Muslims on how to address doubts and how to gain real intellectual confidence and conviction in Islam. Imagine an institute that trains Muslims around the world with exactly the information and skills they need to be empowered in their faith and dawah.
This is what Alasna is.

Our Approach: Holistic Empowerment
Knowledge
Through our courses, students understand at a deep level Modernism, Atheism, Liberalism, Feminism, Scientism, and all other ideologies attacking Islam. Students learn exactly how to refute them while rediscovering why Islam is more morally and intellectually compelling than any of these man-made ideologies: In short, why Islam is the truth!
Reasoning
Our dedicated Reasoning courses equip students with the critical tools of logic they need to make and deconstruct arguments. Whether reasoning for Islam or analyzing complicated arguments against Islam, logic is a must. We live in a world full of competing claims. Muslims need the logical skills to be able to distinguish good arguments from bad ones, while identifying fallacies.
Skills
Once students have mastered the Knowledge and Reasoning curricula, what is missing? The art of communication! Our comprehensive Skills courses train students on writing, debate, social media, and research methods. Whether one is a student, teacher, parent, or imam, effective communication is key to addressing doubts and pursuing dawah.
Family
The future of the Ummah is family. How do we build strong, faithful families? Engaging courses teach students important practical topics on marriage, Islamic gender roles, raising strong children, and protecting your family from doubts and other modern challenges.

What others say about our courses
Many Muslims today see Islam as the truth because their hearts have been convinced when they feel the sweetness of salah, or appreciate the beauty of the Quran. This is great, but often times they are lacking when it comes to convincing themselves, and others, intellectually. I feel this class, in addition to the Islam I accept in my heart, has also given me the confidence to fully accept Islam on the intellectual level.
This class makes you realize just how indoctrinated we are to the point where we think our modern biases are part of our moral intuition, when Islam shows otherwise.
Muhammad (College Student)
I am an Imam who regularly deals with Muslims and non-Muslims alike who ask important and tough questions. I took Daniel Haqiqatjou's course in New Jersey and benefitted from it in a number of ways. Firstly, it enhanced my Islamic knowledge by supplying me with contextual and intellectually stimulating explanations for a number of commonly misunderstood aspects of our Deen. Second, this course gave me a better understanding of the philosophies and ideologies that shape the post-modern world view, thereby giving me the ability to answer questions with increased empathy. Additionally, this well-cited course equipped me with a substantial amount of articles, books, studies and other material for my reference and further research. I highly recommend this course for anyone seeking intellectual fulfillment in a climate where confusion is rampant. This course is the result of 10+ years of research and hard work and Brother Daniel presents it all to us in an organized, easy to understand fashion. May Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala reward him and accept his efforts.
Mufti Idris (Scholar and Imam)
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend this course. The content was so relevant to our life and addressed topics I personally struggle with as a practicing Muslim. Ustadh Daniel presented the ideas clearly and helped me realize the ugly history and hypocrisy of ideas and terms we've been spoon-fed to accept as ultimate truths in our modern times. I left this course ever-so-much more confident of the superior truth of Islam and better equipped to critically and confidently separate and protect myself from ideas detrimental to my faith.

What makes Alasna's approach different?
Many things make Alasna different! For starters, we don't believe in apologizing for, sugar-coating, censoring, or selectively citing the Islamic tradition. Truth is clear from error. The rationality and morality of the Islamic tradition is apparent once you clear away all the sources of doubt clouding people's vision. That is exactly what Alasna is all about.
