Dear friends,

 

السلام علیکم

 

It is my pleasure to invite you to the first high profile international conference on "Intellectual Crises of the Muslim Ummah: Rethinking Traditional Solutions". Over 100-150 international experts, religious scholars, public intellectuals, and peace activists are expected to attend this 2-day conclave, from Aligarh and from outside Aligarh, to shed light on the main issues and challenges facing the Ummah today, and to discuss lessons learned from previously thought-out solutions.

 

The two-day conclave will mainly focus on the following four broad questions related to the main conference theme.  Papers can be presented either in English or Urdu. Prospective presenters are also welcome to submit papers that fall outside these topics, but must establish their relevance to the broader conference theme:

I. What is Islam and who speaks for it today? An Assessment based on the Quranic Text.

II. Is a United Islam Possible?

III. Does Islam need a Reform, or we just need new interpreters?

IV. Can Muslims lead conglomeration of faith communities?

      Implications of Kalmae sawa كلمة سواء.

 

All participants, panellists, and speakers must cover their own travel expenses. The CEPCAMI will provide accommodation and local hospitality during the conference. Speakers and panellists (only) coming from outside Aligarh will receive a token amount of Indian Rs. 3,000 to 5,000 to help defray travel expenses.

 

Please take this invitation to the Indian mission near you to obtain a visa.

 

   Your brother,

  & ISESCO Ambassador for Dialogue among Cultures and Civilizations
