Muslim Unity is key for building a strong Muslim community. In light of that our current Biblio Collective series covers A Memorandum on Intrafaith Harmony in Islam by Shaykh Haydar Hubbullah. We have limited copies for purchase at Sacred Roots. You can purchase the book here if you are not in Chicago.

We invite people from all Muslim denominations to join us in exploring this short text. You are free to join in on the conversation even if you haven’t read the text!

June 18th Topics:

The Shīʿa and the Sunnah: Mutual Concepts and Related Issues II

• Dissimulation (al-Taqiyyah) and the Crisis of Confidence

• Religious Rituals (al-Shaʿaʾir) and Commemorative Occasions (al-Munāsabāt al-Dīniyyah)

• Temporary Marriage (al-Zawāj al-muʾaqqat) and al-Mutʿah

• Shīʿa Expansionism (al-Madd al-Shīʿī) and Shīʿah Disruption of the Peace in Sunnī Beliefs

The book is an invitation for reflection, study, and brotherhood-through-knowledge and good character. These are the fundamentals of religiosity and fraternity with those with whom you have intellectual disagreements.

We will meet in-person at Sacred Roots with a hybrid set-up - so our Zoom Participants across the country can join and engage virtually.

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.
