Join us for a powerful 2-day seminar beginning with a Tafsīr of Sūrah Āl ʿImrān. Drawing on the rich classical tradition of Qur’anic exegesis, we will explore timeless lessons on hardship, resilience, and divine aid—connecting these insights to the trials of Gaza today.
 
From there, we transition into the Culture Wars course, examining the ideological conflicts shaping American society. By tracing parallels between past movements—such as the Vietnam War protests—and today’s Gaza campus protests, we highlight how history repeats and how Muslims can navigate with clarity.
