Islam in America
This course offers a broad introduction to the history of Muslim communities in the United States, from the first African Muslims brought to these shores in chains as early as the 1500s to the diverse ethnic and racial communities of post-9/11 America. Through a chronological and thematic approach, the class examines the origins, transformations, disappearances, and rediscoveries of American Muslim life within their religious, social, and political contexts.
Weekly sessions explore enslaved African Muslims and Moriscos, the reemergence of Islam in Blackamerica, the rise and legacy of the Nation of Islam, immigrant Muslim communities during eras of exclusion and expansion, and contemporary Muslim life in New York City. The course concludes with a Muslim Harlem walking tour and a community potluck with project presentations.

Muslim South Asia: al-Hind, Hindustan, and Beyond
2026-09-27 11:00 - 13:00
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.
