‘Islam and the West’ lecture series opens Monday in Hoover 105
All are invited to join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester this Monday, Sept. 1, as Shahriar Ahmed, president of the Bilal Mosque Association, speaks from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation ties into our theme for this fall, “Islam and the West.”
Ahmed will speak on “The Five Pillars: Comparing and Contrasting Islam with the Other Abrahamic Faiths.” The talk will cover the basics, tasks and rituals that describe the life of a Muslim – rituals sustained for more than 1,400 years without a formal church and non-negotiable aspects of the faith. An open Q&A session will follow.
The same session is presented from 5 to 6 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
