zaytuna college Conference & Benefit Dinner May 25, 2013
| |  | |
These are challenging times for Muslims in the West, partly because of the distorted perception of Islam in the larger society. Many Muslims, especially the youth, are ill-prepared when confronted by contemporary issues that were not explicitly addressed in the pre-modern theological tradition of Islam. A meaningful engagement with the modern world occurs, in many instances, along fault lines that challenge the very foundations of Islam.
Some of the best Muslim scholars in the West will shed light on these matters at a one-day conference on Saturday, May 25 in Anaheim, California. The conference, hosted by Zaytuna College, will include talks by Zaytuna's faculty members and prominent guest scholars.
That same evening, Zaytuna will host its annual fundraising dinner, featuringZaytuna co-founders Hamza Yusuf and Hatem Bazian, and President Jerry Campbell of Claremont College. They will discuss the importance of liberal education and how it can heal us and the society we live in. They will also highlightZaytuna's achievements, its goals for the coming months and years, and invite you to endow Zaytuna College.
