The Qur’an: Socio-economic justice and the Akhira (Living Islam 2014)

(Speaker:Professor Farid Esack)
Many Muslims committed to a contemporary appreciation of Islam feel awkward about discussing the akhirah and prefer to let the matter slide deep into the back of their minds. This session looks at the relationship between the akhirah and the demands of justice, particularly as reflected in some of the shorter Meccan Surahs.

(Speaker:Imam Suhaib Webb)

How can both men and women work together to achieve real equality? And how can we demonstrate that support for women’s rights does not necessarily mean that masculinity is at risk?
