From inspirational moments in the Seerah to the Mongol sacking of Baghdad to the genesis of Muslim communities in the west, we will bring you narratives and lessons learned. Once again, Shaykh Abdullah Hakim Quick will lead this initiative with lectures, presentations, photo exhibitions and interviews. Stay tuned for details!
