  • The Power of Muslim-Jewish Musical Bridges
    May 27, 2015 The Power of Muslim-Jewish Musical Bridges By Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf Last Thursday, our organization, The Cordoba Initiative, had the unique opportunity to co- sponsor with The Brotherhood Synagogue a special interfaith event which was led by the world famous Farid Ayaz and the Abu Muhammad Qawwals and the popular Jewish folk singer Basya Schechter. In contrast to the global media’s nearly exclusive coverage of conflict between Muslims and Jews, it was so refreshing to sit in The Brotherhood’s beautiful chapel alongside Rabbi Daniel Adler and Cantor Michael Weis and be part of this transformative event where Muslims and Jews came together to celebrate their musical heritages. As a universal language, music has a unique ability to gather and unite people. Since tunes and lyrics can directly tap into our hearts, music is often the most powerful vehicle for spiritual communication. In fact, both Islam and Judaism assign music a central role in spiritual devotion. Islamic Sufism and Jewish Hassidism both emphasize the importance of music and music is central to Islamic and Jewish lifecycle events. Aside from the distinctive music of the adhan (the Muslim call to prayer) and the Torah reading, both Islamic and Jewish births, weddings, and funerals are known for their special liturgical music. Over two hundred Jews, Sunni and Shia Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Christians came together at our event “Qawwali and the Spiritual Alchemy of Music” to celebrate the role of music in spiritual devotion and interfaith dialogue. Our overall message was of Divine love and love of our common humanity.

  • ABSTRACT AMERICAN BORN IMAMS: NEGOTIATING CLERICAL RESPONSIBILITIES and EXPECTATIONS by Anas Askar April, 2017 Director of Thesi
    ABSTRACT AMERICAN BORN IMAMS: NEGOTIATING CLERICAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS by Anas Askar April, 2017 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lee Maril Department of Sociology This inductive, exploratory study seeks to understand in detail the personal perspectives and career paths that American born Imams experience as they become religious leaders. In doing so, this study will examine their objectives and goals for the religious communities in which they reside and are integrally related. More specifically, this study analyzes the responsibilities and expectations with which imams must contend on a daily basis. Symbolic interactionism frames these issues and, at the same time, is the driving force behind an understanding of the imams’ experiences as well as those of other important actors in Muslim communities. Employing structured and in-depth interviews, this convenience sample of American born imams addresses key questions which inductively give rise to three major themes: imams currently receive inadequate training for their positions as religious leaders in their communities; the relationship between the mosque board and an imam can directly reinforce or mitigate against problems within the religious community; and certain fundamental advantages along with disadvantages emerge for imams who are American born.

    El Madani: Jurnal Dakwah dan Komunikasi Islam Vol. 2 No. 1 Tahun 2021 Hal. 1-24 ISSN: 2620-5998 (Print) 2721-7167 (Online) Tantangan Agama di Era Globalisasi: Analisis Strategi Komunikasi, Karakteristik dan Materi Dakwah Bara Izzat Wiwah Handaru Mahasiswa, Sekolah Pascasarjana, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, Indonesia Wakil Rektor I, STT Baptis Kalvari Jakarta, Indonesia email: [email protected] Abstract The revolution in technology and communication media in this era of globalization has made the phenomenon of Islamic da'wah experience significant progress globally. This can be seen when the da'wah style has used advances in information technology so that the da'wah message is more widespread that is able to touch international aspects. But in reality, this change in pattern gave birth to new problems in the world of da'wah. This article tries to answer the main problems formulated in the major questions, namely; What are the challenges of religion in the era of globalization, using an analysis of communication strategies, characteristics and material for da'wah? According to Gill Branston and Roy Stafford (2010), there are several points explained about globalization. First, approaches to globalized media. Explain how to approach da'wah in the use of global media. Second, global–local flows. Explain how far the development of the flow of da'wah ideas that have reached the global world. Third, global futures? Explain how changes will occur in the world of da'wah in the future global era. In the end, the research provides insight into the topic of the problem in this paper. First, practically the da'wah movement in information technology and media in the era of globalization is based on Islam rahmatan lil 'alamin.

It might seem paradoxical to debate a topic about confronting sensitive religious issues when discussing that topic requires the confrontation of sensitive religious issues. Nevertheless, prepare for the meta-debate, or the debate over debate. This topic will force Public Forum debaters to consider what their event should look like: what sort of issues they would like to discuss, how those issues should be discussed, and ultimately, what the purpose of debate is in the first place. Instead of sitting on the sidelines while their coaches determine the course of Public Forum, this topic puts control of the event directly in the hands of the debaters. Along the way, debaters will discuss issues like educational policy, the separation of church and state, the treatment of religion in a pluralistic society, and the enduring importance of religion to modern life, for better or worse.

  • October 24, 2008 Honorable Raymond Kelly Police Commissioner of NYPD One Police Plaza New York, NY 10038 Dear Commissioner Kelly
    October 24, 2008 Honorable Raymond Kelly Police Commissioner of NYPD One Police Plaza New York, NY 10038 Dear Commissioner Kelly: We the undersigned New York Muslim advocates, attorneys, and community leaders write to welcome your commitment to open and ongoing dialogue with the Muslim community and express our appreciation for your decision to publicly distance the New York City Police Department (NYPD) from some of the worrying implications of the NYPD report Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat (“NYPD Report”) in your letter of October 6, 2008. Indeed, it is a mark of your leadership that you participated personally in a series of discussions about the NYPD Report with members of the Muslim community, following its release in August of 2007. We believe that frank discussions - including robust public debate and criticism of law enforcement - are necessary precursors to a successful counter-terrorism policy. As such, in response to your clarifications, observations and updates in the October 6, 2008 letter, we submit the following: • Without question, terrorism raises serious and painful questions for all New Yorkers irrespective of their faith, race, or national origin. In the same vein, profiling by law enforcement on the basis of religion and race also warrants careful attention. Therefore, we appreciate your acknowledgement in the letter “that Muslims are not in any way a threat to security” (p.1). This statement is critically important because it reduces the actual risk that some police officers, whether here or abroad, might read the NYPD Report and consider it a justification for racial, religious, or ethnic profiling.

  • Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali - Sons of Abraham: a Candid Conversation About the Issues That Divide and Unite Jews and Muslims
    Rabbi Marc Schneier and Imam Shamsi Ali - Sons of Abraham: A Candid Conversation about the Issues That Divide and Unite Jews and Muslims This book is a collaborative venture between two friends, both based in New York, a Jewish rabbi and a Muslim imam. The duo are deeply engaged in together trying to promote understanding, reconciliation, peace and solidarity between Jews and Muslims. Rabbi Marc Schneier is an 18th generation descendant of a well-known rabbinical dynasty. He served with the World Jewish Congress and is founder and president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding. Brought up in Indonesia, Imam Shamsi is the spiritual leader of the Jamaica Muslim Center, New York City’s largest Islamic centre. Both men grew up with deep prejudices about each other’s community. In this fascinating book, we learn how they overcame their mutual mistrust and, developing a close personal friendship, began to work to jointly promote Jewish-Muslim dialogue, friendship, cooperation and solidarity. In their respective chapters, the rabbi and the imam reflect on a wide range of issues pertinent to contemporary Jewish-Muslim relations. We learn about the numerous similarities between Judaism and Islam (thus justifying the title of the book—Muslims and Jews, along with Christians, having a common spiritual ancestor in Abraham, a prophet of ethical monotheism). These similarities include belief in the one God and love and care for God’s creatures going beyond boundaries of community and religion. The common or overlapping spiritual heritage of Jews and Muslims can thus serve as a firm basis for cooperation between Muslims and Jews.
