Program 1 — Guardians of the Sunnah 7–8 PM · Your Shield Against Doubt

Muslim South Asia: al-Hind, Hindustan, and Beyond

Muslim South Asia: al-Hind, Hindustan, and Beyond
ICNA Nassau | Fall 2026 Course
📅 Sundays, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 ICNA Nassau Community Center
🗓️ 10 Weeks | Starts September 27, 2026
💵 $200
About This Course
This course explores the history of Muslim South Asia from the 700s to the creation of modern nations like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Instead of looking at history as just a story of wars and conquests, we will explore how Muslim identity, culture, and power truly developed over more than a thousand years.
Students will learn how traders, Sufi mystics, scholars, and rulers helped shape daily life, poetry, and local traditions. We will also examine how British colonial rule changed the region, how religious and political leaders responded to losing power, and how events like the 1947 Partition split the subcontinent.
By the end of the course, you will understand how this rich history is remembered — and sometimes misunderstood — today.
Course concludes with a field trip and/or student project presentation.
