This event will aim to understand how one man revived the faith of a nation and why the regime that this revolution put in place can still be seen as successful today.

As you are all aware, living in the west can be difficult as a Muslim. Islam is targeted on a regular basis and Islamophobia is on the rise. To maintain our Islamic identity and also flourish in such a society, every Muslim must strengthen their beliefs based on rationality and logic. By sharpening our most treasured tool, the mind, we would be ready to understand our religion better, allowing us to engage in dialogue with those around us.
