The Abdul Aleem Siddique Mosque of Singapore is hosting the 2nd International Conference on Islamic Spirituality, to be held on 2-3 September, 2006. The theme of the conference is Journey to Ihsan. Among the headlining speakers are Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and Professor Abd al-Haqq Godlas. More details including bios of the speakers are available.
It looks like a great program. I’m just a short plane ride away – I hope I’m able to attend.
Excellent. Maybe you can ask him my concern(s) per the previous email.
How was it? I am hearing not good feedback…
tsk tsk, where do you get your news from? My review is here: Journey to Ihsan: looking back.
From a sister who attended the event. Not the kind of complaint I made on the event I attended, but more on the content of speech of one of the speakers, which she found insensitive. Khair, dont trouble your mind with what she has to say, we all looking forward to know what you found out abang Zayn.
Leave your response!

Author and Professor Dr Jamillah Karim spent a year living in Kuala Lumpur. Read this great interview by Sister Brooke, and then visit Dr Jamillah's blog for a series of thoughtful reflections on what living in Malaysia was like for her as an African American Muslim, what insights she gained about the immigrant Muslim experience in America and more.
Granfalloon (n) : "A proud and meaningless association of human beings." A word coined by Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007) in his book Cat's Cradle. I was recalling the concept recently for some reason but couldn't bring the term to mind. There it is: A granfalloon. The idea is illustrated in the book by a woman from Indiana who is just thrilled to meet Hoosiers everywhere she goes, a Hoosier being a name for people from the state of Indiana, but the shared qualities she recognizes in Hoosiers exists only in her own mind. Thanks, Kurt.
