Tagged: hamza yusuf isna isna 2010 extremism

Sheikh Hamza Yusuf seemed to be what thousands of audience members had been waiting for when he took the main stage of the 47th annual Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention Saturday night.

Yusuf was met with cheers that a celebrity might expect. To many American Muslims he is a star, an eloquent speaker and knowledgeable scholar who gets them.

Raised in California, Yusuf embraced Islam at 17 and started a life of traditional scholarship, traveling around the world and studying under some of the most revered spiritual teachers in the Islamic world.

On Saturday, he spoke of the intense power of religion in the world today and of how such power can be dangerous if it is misunderstood and if there is not a platform to promote sound scholarship and proper education within it.

Emphasizing the importance of stifling radical extremists, he reminded the audience of how much the Prophet Mohammed loved human beings, animals and the environment, proclaiming, “Our religion is a beautiful religion and it is being made ugly by the acts of fools.”

Tagged: festival pursuit social justice innercity iman muslim matters

The Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) will hold its seventh Takin’ It to the Streets festival in Chicago on June 19. This festival reflects IMAN’s longing to se

It is well known among Muslims that before Quranic revelation, the Prophet, peace be upon him, was firmly established in the hearts and minds of the broader Meccan society as “the trustworthy one,” a title he acquired in his relentless pursuit of truth and for his unwavering commitment to the more vulnerable segments of society. It is in this spirit that IMAN actively and aggressively reaches out and works alongside a diverse range of organizations, collations, and networks. Indeed, it is our deep conviction that in pursuing these lofty goals, tremendous energy and momentum can be generated at the grassroots community level. Read More

Tagged: chicago arts festival elan

20,000 people. 200 vendors. 100 artists. 4 stages. 1 day.







No, I’m not talking about Woodstock or Lilith Fair or the latest tweeny Disney extravaganza concert (or some other generic music festival that’s either dating me or showcasing my horrific knowledge about music). The above stats are for Takin It to the Streets, a Muslim-led arts and entertainment festival taking place at Marquette Park in Chicago this weekend. This groundbreaking event has been around since 1997, and is the largest Muslim-led festival in the United States.

The Muslim Students Association is hosting Islam Awareness Week 2010 on the UW-Madison campus this week.
