An Interdisciplinary Relational Exploration of the
Five Pillars of Islam

ARKAAN SERIES

In a world where religious rituals are reduced to routine, mystical symbolism, or replaced by empty individualized practices, the Arkaan Series seeks to re examine the five pillars of Islam as living acts that relate the individual to Ultimate Reality.

Each Ruk’an is approached through the lens of the Beautiful Names, revealing how ritual is not an isolated act, but a relational bridge between the human beings and Allah.
