Imam Feisal speaks at IQRA Annual Dinner

Imam Feisal spoke at the IQRA Annual Dinner. In his speech, Imam Feisal identified the primary and ultimate objective of an Islamic education as the protection and growth of the breath of God within every human being, saying,

“It is an unending journey. It is a journey that has a beginning, but has no end… This is the education… of the soul. An education which begins with the soul; an education which continues with the mind; an education of the heart; an education of the body.”

Imam Feisal also spoke about the interaction of Islam with other traditions, saying Islam is based on a philosophy that sought to accumulate and synthesize all kinds of knowledge. Imam calls on Muslims to amplify that message.
