Wonder if they also have a "Christianity Awareness Week" or a "Hindu Awareness Week"? Islam Awareness Week kicks off at Cornell Fingerlakes1.com Local Network ^ \| 04/09/07 \| Abdulaziz Alkhalifa forums.fingerlakes1.com ITHACA--Starting today and continuing for six full days, the Muslim Educational and Cultural Association at Cornell University is proud to present the third annual Islam Awareness Week. Monday opens with an intimate talk at 8 p.m. in Rockefeller Hall delivered by a resident scholar of Islam, Omer Bajwa. It is titled Islam 101: Everything you need to know about Islam (but were afraid to ask). Events continue on Tuesday with a panel discussion on The Status, Rights & Role of Women in Islam at 8 p.m. in the Alice Cook House. On Wednesday, the Muslim Chaplain at New York University is set to deliver an engaging lecture about the Islamic perspective on social justice and human rights at 8 p.m. in the Kaufmann Auditorium in Goldwin Smith Hall. On Thursday, students and Ithaca residents will be treated to a screening of an episode of Morgan Spurlock's “30 Days...” series at 8 p.m. in the Lewis Auditorium in Goldwin Smith Hall. In this episode of the series a conservative Christian man from North Carolina spends 30 days living as a Muslim in Michigan. The week reaches its climax on Friday with two talks delivered by the accomplished North-American-born scholar of Islam, Dr. Umar F. Abd-Allah (Wymann-Landgraf). Abd-Allah chairs the Nawawi Foundation and has been recognized by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Hanson as one of the leaders of North-American Muslim scholars. He also had the honor of studying under some of the greatest traditional scholars in the Middle East, including the late gnostic of the 20th century Habib Ahmad Mashur Al-Haddad. Abd-Allah's first lecture starts at noon in 106 White Hall and is titled The Role of Hadith in the Formation of Islamic Law. Abd-Allah's keynote address, “Cultural Jihad: The Role of American Muslim Culture in Today's World” will start at 8 p.m. in Goldwin Smith Hall. Islam Awareness Week comes to a close on Saturday morning at 10 a.m. with an Islamic tile-painting and calligraphy workshop at the Johnson Museum. The event is particularly suitable for children who like to draw and for their parents who would rather that their children didn't draw on the walls of their house. Reservations are recommended as the number of participants is limited. For the last and final event, the internationally acclaimed artist Ibrahim El-Salahi will give a presentation of his work at the Johnson Museum at 3 p.m. and follow it up with a discussion on Modern Islamic Art. ...all of the individuals whose hard work made these events a reality...sincerely hope that everyone in Ithaca will enjoy the week's line-up.
