Invitation for Book Launch: Islam in the West–Beyond Integration By Zijad Delić

The University of Ottawa Press, in collaboration with Library and Archives Canada, cordially invite you to the book launch of:
Islam in the West – Beyond Integration By Zijad Delić
The event will be hosted by Adrian Harewood, co-host of CBC News Ottawa.
Date: Wednesday, February 6, 2019
Time: 7:30 p.m. (doors open at 7:00 p.m.)
Location: 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario
Free admission
Presentation in English only
Seating is limited, so please register.
RSVP
Listen to Zijad Delić talk about his book Islam in the West on the UOP YouTube channel.
Islam in the West: Beyond Integration presents a vibrant discussion on the most debated issues regarding Canadian Muslims and their faith—Islam in modern Canada. The need has never been greater to explore the origins of Canadian Muslims, who have been in Canada since before Confederation, and the concepts of Muslim identity, integration, citizenship, belonging and loyalty, in the here and now. The book examines some of these issues in detail, raising questions for both Canadian Muslims and the wider Canadian society, and offers substantial material for an open and democratic discourse. Read more.

Imam Zijad Delić
is a resident scholar and imam in Ottawa as well as a doctoral student at the University of Ottawa. He is an educator who wants to tell his story and thus the story of Canadian Muslims. Delić was twice selected as one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world. He was recognized by the Province of Ontario for a decade of volunteer work, and he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.

Feel free to share this invitation.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Weekly Verse

Almighty Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:

 Do the people think that they will be left to say, “We believe” and they will not be tried?” (Qur’an: ‘Ankabut 2)

Imam Zijad’s Corner: Searching Knowledge in Islam

Searching Knowledge in Islam

Reported by Anas (r) that Muhammad (S) said: “A person who goes in search of knowledge, he or she is in the path of God  and remains so till he or she returns.” Tirmizi

Transliteration: “Man Kharaja Fi Talabil ‘Ilmi, Fahuwa Fi Sabilillahi Hatta Yarji’u.”

Note: There is no other religion or Way of life that has made knowledge incumbent upon its followers. In Islam, belief (iman) cannot stem from ignorance.

A person becomes Muslim with a certain level of knowledge which leads him or her to believe or attain iman, and then the life of a Muslim is a never-ending process of learning.

A person cannot become a Muslim and remain a good Muslim in a state of Jahl (ignorance). It is unfortunate that seeking knowledge has been defined so narrowly in the minds of common Muslims.

Then, as they become more knowledgeable, instead of becoming more humble, arrogance is the more common outcome. Another deplorable aspect of the state of knowledge and learning is that women are so routinely deprived of their access to learning and education.

It is not surprising that for a long period of time, there has not been Muslim women who have been recognized as Islamic jurists/experts (Mujtahids).

From the methodology of learning to the contents and orientation, the contemporary conditions of the Ummah are so remote from the Islamic scheme.

Widespread illiteracy and lack of proper education can be identified as among the most important factors contributing to the global Ummah’s miserable conditions.
