Islamophobia: Our Role and Responsibilities in the 21st Century – Delivered by Mufti Abdul Waheed  & Maulana Abu Bakar Saleem

FREE WEBINAR (BAYAN) – HOSTED BY JKN FATAWA DEPARTMENT

Session Overview

With the rise of new unprecedented challenges for Muslims taking shape in the form of Islamophobia, in this unique webinar we are joined by two scholars; Mufti Abdul Waheed (JKN Fatawa Dept) and Maulana Abubakar Saleem (MEND) who will be discussing how as Muslims we can peacefully engage in tackling Islamophobia in light of the Quranic and prophetic guidelines and knowing our rights as British Muslim citizens.

This session will initially explore what Islamophobia is and give an insight into the ground reality of how Islamophobia is manifested in the UK. The main causes behind the existence and rise of Islamophobia will be then explored and what we can do as individuals and as a community to tackle Islamophobia and make history. The final session will then address how some important lessons can be drawn from Quranic and prophetic examples relevant for Muslims in this unprecedented era. The session will conclude with a Q & A panel where both speakers will welcome further questions from the audience relevant to the topic.
