Theory applied to real discourse: The session does not end with theory. Slide 65 applies five fallacies to real Islamic discourse — sectarian, Kalam, political, Fiqh, and Da'wa examples — showing how the fallacies actually appear in arguments you will hear.
The summary and the three-check audit: Slide 66 is the summary: a ten-fallacy quick reference table, a three-check audit to run on any argument, and the bridge to Session 11. The three-check audit, as its title suggests, is a routine: check the person attack, check the evidence, and check the form — or in the terms of this course, ask whether the argument attacks the person instead of the claim, whether the premises are true and proven, and whether the conclusion actually follows from the premises.
Fail one check, reject the argument: Any argument that fails one of the three checks should not be accepted.
Example
Audit one argument this week: Take one argument you heard this week — in a sermon, a debate, or a social media post — and run the three-check audit on it. You will be surprised how often it fails.
Key Terms
All ten fallacies, as in Topics 10.2–10.6.
Quran or Hadith
None known from the slide titles.
Fresh diagram to be drawn: An interactive "3-check audit" card for the Reader, plus the ten-fallacy quick reference table. To be drawn in Project Desk colours.
