Good news! This seminar will be webcast LIVE from Hounslow Council. 

What is a webcast? Webcasting is the broadcast of video and audio over the internet – put simply it is the same as watching TV but through an internet connection. How do I view a webcast? You will need access to the internet (either broadband or via a dial-up modem), and you will need to have Real Player installed on the machine you are using (this can be downloaded for free from here).

The Radical Middle Way initiative and Hounslow Council would like to extend our warmest invitation to you to attend a special seminar.

Tuesday 21 October
10:00 am to 3:30 pm
Location: Hounslow

Registration is now closed, due to limited space.

The seminar will feature a keynote presentation by eminent scholar and educator Habib Umar bin Hafiz from the Dar al Mustafa College in Tarim, Yemen on The Mosque of the Prophet: Lessons for Our Times.

What kind of Mosques do British Muslims need in the 21st century? How can the institution of the mosque be made more relevant to the needs of communities where young people and women are playing an ever increasing and more critical role? What is the relationship between the mosque and her neighbours? What can we learn from our past?  The aim of the seminar is to engender a robust discussion on the future of the mosque in Britain .

In addition to Habib Umar, we look forward to welcoming Imam Ghulam Rasool (Charities Commission) who will speak about The State of Britain's Mosques and Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad (Cambridge University/Muslim Academic Trust) who will reflect on Developing a vision for the development of the next generation of mosques. 

The seminar is aimed at imams and scholars; scholars-in-training; members of mosque committees; Muslim chaplains working in prisons, hospitals and universities; community activists; youth leaders; frontline workers and council staff working with Muslim communities.

The seminar is an incredible opportunity to dialogue and engage with one of leading scholars in the Muslim world. The programme will be divided between keynote presentations and interactive discussion sessions.
