Join us at our Let’s Talk session this week where we will be discussing Racism through the lens of Islamic justice. The BLM movement has taken the world by a storm and has forced many of us to examine our own prejudices. Racism is found in all communities even Muslim ones - so instead of being ignorant we need to confront this problem and commit to changing not only ourselves but our communities too. At this session we aim to centre Black Muslim voices as well as examine racism from an Islamic perspective.

Let’s Talk sessions are safe spaces created to allow the discussion and debate of taboo issues in the Muslim community. These sessions have 3 parts to them - first is where we discuss and debate the chosen topic. The second part is where we look at what Islam specifically says about the issue - this is important to clear up any misconceptions or ideas that are often imposed by culture and not religion. The third and final part is where we discuss individual and communal solutions to issues brought up. This helps us have an objective approach to the problem and gives a sense of hope and change.
