Changing the World: The Importance of Serving Humanity

Mufti Azeemuddin Ahmed

Oftentimes, Muslims only associate Islam with five daily prayers and fasting in Ramadan. However, Islam is far wider in its scope. It is a complete religion that not only asks us to change ourselves but to ameliorate the condition of the world around us. In this introductory session, we will discuss the central role of social service in Islam.

Islam: Subjugation or Liberation of Women

Mufti Minhajuddin Ahmed

In today’s milieu of feminism, people often view Islam as a religion of misogyny. But a closer look shows that despite much effort the modern women still has a long road before achieving the status she deserves. Our Prophets SAWS was a champion for the cause and welfare of women. How do we put an end to honor killings and domestic abuse? How do we take this Prophetic model to further the cause of women throughout the world?

Remembering the Forgotten- Enriching the Lives of the Impoverished.

Mufti Hussain Kamani

Living in a land of riches, it is too easy to forget the plight of the impoverished and the displaced. In a time where unemployment has hit record highs, and natural disasters seem to be the order of the day, it becomes all the more important that we use the gifts that Allah SWT has given us to better the lives of others here and abroad.
