Note: The following transcript is adapted from remarks delivered by Shaykh Mohammed Amin Kholwadia during a panel discussion held at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington on June 23, 2026. The discussion focused on Islam, Sharia, and the U.S. Constitution, addressing common misconceptions about Islamic jurisprudence and the legal obligations of Muslims living in non-Muslim societies. This transcript has been lightly edited for clarity, grammar, and readability while preserving Shaykh Amin’s original words and meaning.

Darul Qasim College hosted its Summer Open House on Sunday, June 21. The rainy weather could not keep away prospective students and their families who partook of organized tours from noon through 2:30 PM.
Department chairs welcomed tour groups and entertained questions on course syllabus, textbooks and program curricula across the Shaykh Al-Hind, Intermediate, Advanced and Takhassus/Specialization programs offered at DQC. Senior students answered questions related to campus culture and classroom instruction.
As tours wound down, visitors assembled in the atrium to consult with the Student Recruitment Coordinator. The Office of the Registrar answered student inquiries related to Fall 2026 enrollment and course schedules.
Visitors chatted with faculty members from each department. There was significant representation from the DQC Board of Directors who addressed questions from families around future growth of the institute.

A Prelude to Nafsology by Aadil M. Pathan
Tasawwuf, while it may seem to connotate certain romantic fantasies in certain
imaginations, more correctly would denote a more holistic view of reality. That is, reality as al-Haqq (the Real) and the mazahir (manifestations) of al-Haqq. Reality, then, is genuinely a theophany, as in its deriving from the Greek theophaneia, theos for “god” and phanein “to manifest”.
