Islamic Culture vs. Cultural Islam
Join us for a lively discussion about Islam and the diverse cultures that practice it. Learn about food, clothing, marriage celebrations and other traditions represented here in Minnesota, while exploring how some cultural practices are misrepresented as “Islamic.” This class offers a safe space to ask questions and learn from one another.
Building Blocks of Islam
Instructor
We strive to enliven the example of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and the early generations of Muslims who “lived Islam” in every aspect of their lives. Islam provides the perfect roadmap for moral and social advancement and we envision vibrant and healthy environments where Islam’s lessons on charity are embraced and transformed into action on a daily basis for the good of all.
Sound communities are created out of shared effort and responsibility – each action by or for the sake of each individual is like a “building block” that reinforces the community. Thus, we aim to bring Muslims from all backgrounds to work together for the community’s well-being through means that are supported by authentic Islamic teachings – to enjoin good, help those in need, and above all, follow the commandments of Allah (Subhanahu wa Taala)
