TRANSNATIONAL SALAFISM AND ITS IMPACT ON MUSLIM WOMEN

Date & Time: Sunday 18th June 2006, 5.00 pm
Place: Hounslow Masjid, Wellington Road South, Hounslow, West London, TW4 5JH

Recent world events have brought the issue of Translational Salafism
very much into the public eye. However, does this phenomenon really
exist and, if so, to what extent is it different from Traditional
Sunni Islam? What impact has it had on Muslim women in particular?
Are there any parallels that could be drawn between contemporary
Jihadi movements and the expansionist philosophies adopted by great
military personalities such as Amir Timur and Suleiman the Magnificent?
What lessons can Muslim women activists learn from the experiences
of concubines during the Timurid era and the complex politics of
Ottoman harems? Can Tasawwuf play a part in remedying the problems
that often arise if such issues are not properly regulated within
the framework of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaat. Shaykh Hisham Kabbani,
by virtue of his barakah and farasat will shed light onto this
matter, inshallah.

Shaykh Hisham is a prominent scholar of mainstream, traditional
Islam and is founder of the As Sunnah Foundation of America. He
has spent his life spreading the teachings of peace, tolerance,
respect and love throughout the world, and has continued to
disseminate the light and peace of Islam's spiritual dimension to
people of every background, ethnicity, race, and belief. The Shaykh
has a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the American University
of Beirut, Lebanon, and did Medical studies in Louvain, Belgium.
He also possesses a degree in Islamic Divine Law from Damascus,
Syria. He has ijazas to teach, guide and counsel students in
Islamic spirituality from the renowned Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil,
authority of the Hanafi school of Islamic law in the Middle East
and world leader of the Naqshbandi Haqqani Sufi Order.
