Join Imams Farhan Siddiqi and Abdul-Malik Merchant in their monthly series on Islamic Solution to Societal Ills at the HAWA Center!
Muslims are existed in America since its founding. But throughout history, we have been the minority not just in numbers but also in belief. We live amongst those that often does not share our customs, our philosophies or even our fundamental values.
In a Western society that both directly and indirectly seeks to change us, how do we hold onto our faith? How do we externally and internally resists the pressures to change our beliefs? How can we foster a resilient Islam within ourselves in a world where Islam is so often otherized, marginalized, and even villainized?
Open to men and women, come by for a discussion based talk followed by socialization and snacks!
While tickets are complimentary, donations are greatly appreciated to support future events for both Dar Al-Hijrah and the Adams Center!

Open to young professionals ages 21+, we look forward to seeing you there!
