Professor Tariq Ramadan & Shaykh Babikir AhmedAs the Muslim community comes into its maturity in the UK, issues surrounding Islamic Education – institutional or otherwise – have become more important than ever. Nevertheless, many challenges remain untackled, and questions remain unasked.
Each of our two speakers will give presentations suggesting new frameworks and considerations for Islamic Education, followed by an in-depth QnA and discussion session. As such, invitations will be sent to those with an expertise or interest in this field.
At this critical juncture, this event is intended to be a forum for ideas and collaboration, and an opportunity for all participants to explore new directions for the future of Islamic Education in the UK.
