The great reward and significance of building mosques is well known. Mosques are just one corner stone of a flourishing community system, striving to sustain and fulfill the demands of a thriving ummah. This session will reflect on the values that guided the Muslim community’s growth in different sectors and the key moments that have shaped our growth. What lessons have we learnt and are we prepared for the future? In light of global shifts and challenges, this session will explore whether the Muslim community needs a paradigm shift in preparation for what is to come and imagines what such a shift can look like.
