National Leaders Invited for Fireside Chat…
“Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular Prayer; who conduct their affairs by mutual consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance…” Al-Qur’an, 42:38
These leaders were among the youngest in 1975. They’ve stayed the course and are now contributing nationally; their experiences in many ways differ from their parents’ generation. They’ll have a distinct perspective that can inform us on Islam in America yesterday, today and tomorrow.
A national panel of guest leaders will convene that will be comprised of persons who were teenagers when Imam Dr. W. Deen Mohammed (R) delivered his first khutbah as national leader in 1975 for an American Muslim Community in transition and evolution. Each panelist was born in the American Muslim community to Muslim parents, and now each of them is working at the national level of an Islamic institution or program.
Host of the Seminar and CWSC’s Executive Director Mukhtar Muhammad states, “I’m honored to host these leaders who are my contemporaries and colleagues with whom I share not only a community history and legacy, but also a passion for the work that continues to advance the aspirations of our pioneers who helped make a home for Al-Islam in America. Moreover, they are witnesses to a historical transition seen through the eyes of those who were among the youngest in the Community in 1975 and who made a challenging transition themselves at perhaps one of the most tumultuous periods in their personal lives; what they experienced is very different in many ways from what their parents’ generation experienced. They are unique and will have a distinct perspective that can inform us on Islam in America yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
The Panelists are:
Enduring educator Qur’an Shakir of Atlanta Georgia’s Mohammed Schools System…she is also engaged at the national level of leadership via the Clara Mohammed Schools National Education Consortium and as Director for the CWSC National Scholarships Program, and national talk show host on AM360 for the weekly Sunday broadcast, The Power of Educating Our Own.
Next is National Representative for the Islam in America Movement and Executive Director for the Muslim Empowerment Institute Imam Qasim Amin Nathari. Imam Nathari hails from the Northeast and specifically the Newark, New Jersey Muslim community. The prolific author has also published on topics of interest to the national community.
