Liberalism and its Discontents: Moving towards a God-Oriented Worldview
Saturday 4 July 2026, 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM
This gathering has already happened. It is kept here as a record.
This interactive presentation explores what it means to be a Muslim in America given our society's default assumptions about the world and human beings in particular. We shall discuss and challenge these assumptions in light of Islamic cosmology and lexicon, aiming to reexamine how we organize our lives, families and local communities in practice.
Dinner: 6:30pm
Talk and Discussion: 7:30pm
Prayer: 8:45pm
