Topic: Finding Love in Chaos

We live in a world of paradox: we are more connected than ever before, yet feel more alienated than every before. Amidst the chaos and confusion of our hectic lives, we thirst for love and peace in our hearts. Our speaker this month, Hisham Mahmoud, will explore how we can experience spiritual serenity in our daily lives through love of the Divine and our Prophet (peace be upon him).

He co-authored a forthcoming work entitled, “A Portrait of the Prophet,” as a translation of one of the most important commentaries on the personal qualities of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. He has lectured internationally on the Islamic sciences and on world religions, and continues to read with scholars and students in the United States. He has taught for more than a decade at Yale, Princeton, and Harvard Universities, then left the Academy to institute his own national initiative, Lanturna, a non-profit, educational institution that intends through its various projects to establish learning collectives to enhance personal practice and enrich community life.
