"Connecting to God in Today's World" will examine what is required to develop a living bond with God and sincere attachment to spiritual values in the context of modernity, with special focus on Muslim American life. The Nawawi Foundation hopes to broach the following questions in its third annual intensive: Our Islamic tradition is filled with diverse and sophisticated forms of spirituality. Are they meaningful to us today? Do they require modification? How do we distinguish between genuine spirituality and its false permutations? How do we protect ourselves from spiritual dead ends? As Muslim Americans, we must be actively engaged in the creation of a sound indigenous Islamic culture that imparts a sound sense of identity. Can we cultivate a sound sense of Islamic spirituality without a unified sense of the Muslim American self? How do we foster a living spirituality in the climate of questioning intrinsic to modern thought and among the many doubts, misgivings, and negative self-images that often confront Muslims today? These are among the questions that the Nawawi Foundation hopes to broach in its third annual intensive. We invite you to join in the dialogue, and we hope that we will be able to join us in finding answers that are of lasting benefit to us all. |
