A central aspect of the ABIM Islamic Outreach programme was a six month series of one hour talks following a syllabus that had been established in Malaysia. Later, this syllabus was restructured, so the notes here bridge both. At first, I gave these talks in the Muslim House in Glasgow, but in later years we moved out into the wider community and used different libraries in the city. Some of the notes for these talks are fairly skeletal, some ended up so skeletal they more or less vanished, and as can be clearly seen from the list, some just vanished. But here's what's left for what they are worth.
