I know I advertise alot of events/conferences here, but next week’s ALIM Winter Program is really something exceptional. If you are free next weekend I would highly recommend that you attend this program next week. Its not just a conference with a bunch of motivational talks, you will actually come away having learned something - and inshallah something that will benefit you and help you understand issues that are critical to our ummah today!.

The theme for this ALIM Program is: A critical overview and analysis of the historic development of Islamic intellectual thought in the areas of Theology, Philosophy, Early Schisms, Sufism, and Modernity. .

Mashallah our Islamic history and scholarship over the past 1400 years is so vast, yet most of us dont know anything about it, except from what we read or listen to in a weekend conference or read in book - and often from biased tertiary sources. I know for a fact that so many Muslims today are so confused about so many of these issues, especially, Sufism, Shiism, the history of sectarian divides in the Ummah (including the current current Salafi vs Sufi issues), culture in islam (and other contemporary issues of Islam in the modern world) etc. - and Dr. Jackson & Dr. Umar Faruq Abdallah are probably one of the most unbiased, knowledgeable and definitely one of the best teachers on these issues. I stress the word teacher because Dr. Jackson isnt only a great scholar and lecturer, but a great teacher (he is also a reknowned professor)! You will learn alot from him insha’Allah (SWT)!

Anyways, what are you waiting for? Register Now! .
