Assalamu Alaikum,
At ICNA Nassau, we believe our history matters—not just to know what happened, but to understand where we are today and where we’re headed as an Ummah.
Starting September 14, we’re offering an 11-week course called “Beyond Caliphs and Sultans: Critical Muslim Histories.” This course isn’t about memorizing dates or names—it’s about making sense of our story as Muslims. How did we get here? What shaped us? And how do we carry that history with honesty and clarity?
📆 Every Sunday | 11 AM – 1 PM📍 ICNA Nassau Community Center💻 Register: events.icnany.org💳 $175 per person | Limited seats
We’ll be learning from Br. M. A. Zaman & Br. Tamzid, exploring major themes in Islamic history—from the early caliphates to colonialism to the spiritual traditions that shaped our communities.
We ask Allah to make this effort a means of reflection, growth, and renewed purpose for all who attend.
Wa Alaikum Assalam,Your ICNA Nassau Family
