Upcoming CIK Talk
​
​The Meaning of Secularism 
An Islamic Reading
​
​Presented by Dr. Usaama al-Azami (University of Oxford) 
​ Saturday, June 26th ​at 12 PM EST​  (16 Dhul Qadah)
It is often observed that ours is a secular age in which the state must remain separate from and neutral between the demands and expectations of a variety of religious positions. What, if anything, does Islam have to say about such an arrangement and its self-image of neutrality between all religions? In this CIK Talk, Dr. Usaama al-Azami will explore this question through a decolonial lens by reading the latest Western scholarship on religion and secularism through important scholars from the classical Islamic tradition. 
CIK Talks is a platform for noted Muslim intellectuals and thought leaders to address critical issues facing the Ummah and ideas shaping the modern world.
