(Speaker:Professor Farid Esack) Many Muslims committed to a contemporary appreciation of Islam feel awkward about discussing the akhirah and prefer to let the matter slide deep into the back of their minds. This session looks at the relationship between the akhirah and the demands of justice, particularly as reflected in some of the shorter Meccan Surahs.

(Speaker:Shaykh Akram Nadwi) Shaykh Akram argues powerfully that the Christian Prophets Zakaria, Jesus and John have more relevance for us in Britain than any other. And asks, was Mary a Prophet? (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speaker:Imam Suhaib Webb) Are we facing a crisis of identity for men across the Western world? There are seemingly no defined roles anymore - is that a good thing, and are men coping? Do Muslims have the opposite problem? How can both men and women work together to achieve real equality? And how can we demonstrate that support for women’s rights does not necessarily mean that masculinity is at risk? (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speakers:Dr Rowan Williams with Sughra Ahmed) Not to be missed - an intimate audience with former Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams. As one of
the highest religious authorities in the country, his unique perspective on faith in the public space is essential listening. (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speakers:Myriam Francois Cerrah, Sara Khan, Laura McDonald, Usama Hasan) An honest exploration of female rights and equalities
in today’s world. As much as Islam may have provided freedoms in the past, we are definitely lagging behind now. Can we take back the mantle of being revolutionary feminists? (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speakers:Kathleen Roche-Nagi,
Dr Haseena Lockhat, Maarya Abwat-Johnson) In this interactive workshop session we will introduce

(Speaker:Dr Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury) Will “Muslim” values ever be regarded as synonymous with British ones? Hardly a month goes by without someone prominent saying British values and Islamic values are at odds with each other. Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams weighs in on the character of the country and gives his frank views on what British Muslims must do. (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speaker:Shaykh Akram Nadwi) While the Qur’an is accepted as authentic scripture for Muslims and Orientalists alike, sometimes ahadith are criticized and rejected as a source of legal authority. How do we know for sure they are indeed the words of the Prophet? And why are they so important for understanding our faith? (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speaker:Ahtsham Ali) Should there be segregation between the sexes in Muslim culture? Where did it come from? Ahtsham Ali has looked deeply into the issue and goes through the evidence to conclude that all is not as it seems. (Recorded at the Living Islam Festival, UK  www.livingislam.org.uk)

(Speakers:Mohammad Siddique Seddon, Tehmina Kazi, Imam Asim Hafiz) There is a quite distinct South Asian Islam, a clear Middle Eastern Islam – but what should a British Islam look like culturally? Is it scones and tea at 4pm, queuing up politely and writing strongly worded letters of complaint? And how does that affect how we interact with institutions, such as the army?
