Welcome to "Light of Reflection," where today's episode takes a deep dive into the transformative approach of our academy - focusing on teaching the core, not just the crust. We explore the vital distinction between the interior and exterior aspects of education, emphasizing the importance of reaching the inner self: the insight, spirit, heart, and aql. We discuss how conventional education systems often concentrate on the exterior intellect, neglecting the core that forms a person's true essence. In contrast, our academy aims to nurture this core, believing it to be the key to stable, long-lasting knowledge and faith. Join us in understanding why focusing on the core leads to education that becomes a fixed part of one's self, reflecting positively on the exterior. We discuss how this approach aligns with the teachings of the prophets and our imams, who focused on the interior to effect exterior change.
