Don’t forget to join us for the first Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the semester tonight (Monday), 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.
Questions? Contact Paul Otto at ext. 2676 or potto@georgefox.edu.
