(Khalil Abdur-Rashid and Caner Dagli)In this episode, Caner Dagli and Khalil Abdur-Rashid explore racialization and religion, using Dagli’s article for Renovatio, “Muslims Are Not a Race,” as a point of departure to examine whether the lens of race obscures actual motivations behind Islamophobia—be they sectarianism, dehumanization caused by war, or political disputes—or helps defang them. Dagli and Abdur-Rashid seek precision and clarity on these matters, invoking foundational concepts in Islam, such as the value of intention and the centrality of justice, and bringing into focus less-examined questions around the nature of anti-Muslim bigotry and what Muslims ought to do about it. 2021-01-211h 19

The Qarawiyyin PodcastEp. 5: Honey, I Secularized the KidsThe TQP team discusses the concepts of secular and sacred knowledge, how they came to be defined as such, and the problems that come with these definitions. Does studying the "secular sciences" require us to leave deen at the door, and can one truly be a mu'min as a student at a secular university?
We also explore insights from the book recommendations on our University Reading List.

Saint John's CathedralAbraham's Children: What We Share and How We Differ - Dr. Hamza YusefThe family of Abraham traditionally included the three faiths, but lately, many people see Islam as an illegitimate member of the family, unwelcome in the house of Abraham. Historically, for Christians, this role was relegated to the Jewish members as "disinherited" siblings. Jews, however, for most Christians at least, have become full members of the family in good standing. Is this a possibility for the Muslims, or does the Quranic verse "The Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with you until you follow their way," obviate that possibility?.......................About Dr. YusufHamza...2019-04-281h 07Saint John's CathedralIs Islam an American Religion? - Dr. Hamza YusufThe Everding LecturesPresented by Dr. Hamza Yusuf, President and Senior Faculty Member, Zaytuna College Since 9/11 over two million Muslims have died in conflicts that in one way or another were related to the events in September 2001. Muslims have been the greatest victims of terror, with minority communities in the Middle East a distant second.

The Qur’an is not a set of syllogisms or prosaic rational proofs but a recitation of unmatched linguistic beauty, filled with symbols, stories, metaphors, and poetic phrasing. It was the beauty in artistic expression which inspired many of the earliest conversions to Islam.
