Islamic Spirituality

Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 4:00pm
Zayn Kassam, guest speaker

At a time when we hear so much about Muslims and violence, it might be useful to think about the ways in which Muslims express their spirituality. This talk will explore the sources of Muslim spirituality and ethics, as well as some of the various ways in which Muslims express their deepest convictions. Zayn Kassam is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Pomona College and is also on the faculty at Claremont Graduate University. She teaches courses in Islamic philosophy, mysticism, gender, and literature as well as a course on philosophical and mystical texts from a comparative perspective.
