SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: “Forgiveness”
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum held its monthly circle on February 13\, 2025\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on “Forgiveness” with Imam Faizul Khan\, our study leader from the Islamic Society of the Washington Area (ISWA) in Silver Spring\, MD. \nScriptural Reasoning (SR) allows Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims to study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet monthly to read short passages on a topic from their respective scriptures. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s scriptures and the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n  Scriptural Reasoning: Introduction                        Islamic Scripture: Quran \n  \n      Christian Scripture: New Testament                  Jewish Scripture: Hebrew Bible \n  \nThis Month`s Study Leader \n \nImam Faizul Khan is a distinguished religious leader and community advocate with over 45 years of service in social\, religious\, cultural\, educational\, and outreach initiatives. He is the founding member and Imam of the Islamic Society of Washington Area (ISWA) in Silver Spring\, Maryland\, a growing and diverse faith community established in 1973. \nOriginally from Guyana\, Imam Khan has been actively involved in youth leadership\, serving as President of the Muslim Youth League and General Secretary of The Guyana Assembly of Youth. His dedication to interfaith collaboration and community engagement has made a lasting impact in the Washington Metropolitan Area. He was recently appointed President of the Montgomery County Faith Advisory Council. \nImam Khan’s commitment to social justice has earned him seventeen national awards in domestic violence prevention\, social services\, and volunteerism. In 2011\, Georgetown University recognized him as one of the 500 Most Influential Muslims in the World.
