The course was based on books written by Shaikh Yusuf Qaradawi entitled "How to Approach the Quran" and "How to Approach the Sunnah."

Webb explained that the sunnah includes the sayings, actions, and silent approvals of the Prophet. He stressed that Muslims sometimes fail to realize that the sunnah "is divinely inspired." The Qur’an is mainly a book of universals, while the sunnah gives us the particulars, he said. "It is through the sunnah that Islam is actualized."

In his presentation Webb mentioned that some verses in the Quran are only known to God, others need to be understood with the help of a scholar, while the majority can be interpreted by the general public. "The Quran is a spirit which brings the heart and mind to life," Webb said. "The farther [Muslims] got away from the Quran the more they got extreme."

Webb, who is a student in Al-Azhar university, also urged Muslims and their leaders alike to bridge the Sufi-Salafi divide. "It is a must that we address this division and see different means to take steps towards unity," he said.
