🎥: Echoes of Two Lands 2025 and The Regret 2024

Synopses:

The Regret: A dedicated 24-year-old student becomes obsessively and implacably enveloped by the world of social media and her bad friends. She is later pulled into the influence of pushy friends who strongly encourage her to open an Instagram account “to have fun, ” gradually and willfully forgetting the first lady—the angel who brought her to life. This mother instilled her with value and carried her within her ribs all these years! Sadly, tragedy dominates the daughter’s life later in the movie…

Echoes of Two Lands: A young Palestinian man who runs toward-and away from-memories while taking a road trip, hoping to help him decide whether to stay in this new country or return home.

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.
