Chai Chat: Liberalism and the Muslim American Predicament (Dr. Sherman Jackson)

Chai Chat is an interactive gathering where we explore current social concerns and other issues that affect our spiritual and communal cultivation.

We invite you to read ahead of time, join us with your favourite tea or coffee, and engage in critical and constructive conversation.

Join us for a Virtual Chai Chat via zoom.

Dr. Sherman Jackson’s short article “Liberalism and the Muslim American Predicament” lays out a series of important questions about Muslim politics in America and our ability to express our political goals and aspirations in a secular culture.

Join us for a conversation to unpack the issues in the article to think through some of the pressing political crises of today:

  • American Foreign Policy and the Genocide in Gaza

  • Student Protests, Speech, and Moral Commitment

A selection from the article:

This is eminently reflected in the most popular form of political liberalism, which basically requires that individuals vindicate themselves in public debate by reference to “liberal reason.” This is not the preserve of anyone’s specific religious, ideological or historically constituted community ; it is a form of “public reason” that is supposed to belong to no one and thus to everyone . But it is precisely here that we begin to see a convergence of liberal slights of hand . By imagining a public reason on which we all have equal purchase, we also imagine a public space that is neutral. Clearly, however, our histories and other specific endowments come with us into the public space, alongside our respective traditions of reasoning. But how can the “reason” of the historically dominated, marginalized or feared ever be equal in the court of public opinion to that of the historically dominant , exemplary and feared (though a very different kind of fear) ? And inasmuch as equality cannot be operationalized without an exemplar by means of which we can assess whether I am being treated “equally” (equal to whom ?) , does my equal treatment always necessarily deliver me from domination?

Book Description:

This humble book is an open memorandum to all the Muslims of the world, whether Shīʿa, Sunni, Ibāḍi, Ṣūfi, etc. It is a memorandum of love and affection, of brotherhood and amity, of truth and sincerity; a memorandum of laying the facts bare and exposing the truth. It is one of critiquing oneself and others, turning a new page, and defining the school of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) and their followers (the Twelver Shīʿa school). We aim to reveal in it the thoughts, investigation, responsibilities, aspirations, visions, concepts, and inferences that are held by the adherents of this faction. We will briefly summarize their beliefs, jurisprudence, methodologies, relationship with others, viewpoints, achievements, and historical responsibility.

Seeking the Divine - Reflections on the Prayers of the Prophet’s Family - Imam Ali bin Husayn’s Supplication for himself and the People under his Guardianship

RSVP | Virtual

Join us to explore the prayers of Imam Sajjad, Ali the son of Imam Husayn. The prayers (ad’iya, plural of du’a) in the al-Sahifah al-Sajjadiyyah are expressions of submission to the Creator. As one scholar puts it:

“Here we have one of the greatest spiritual luminaries of Islam so overawed by the sense of God's goodness, mercy, and majesty as to express his utter nothingness before the Creator…In the Sahifa we see Islamic spirituality - or that dimension of the religion of Islam which deals with the practical and lived reality of the personal relationship between man and God - expressed in the most universal of languages, that of the concrete and intimate yearning of the soul for completion and perfection.”

We will read the prayer in translation, briefly analyze the main themes, and then circle-up for reflective conversation.
