Advancing the Islamic Intellectual Tradition

Описание: Please consider supporting me in making more educational videos about Islam and Muslim civilizations:   / aleemkarmali  

Documentary celebrating the University of Alberta's establishment of the ECMC Chair in Islamic Studies.

It explores what this chair means to Muslims and the wider community in Edmonton and Canada, in terms of the diversity of traditions, cultures and interpretations within Islam. It does this in the context of Muslim settlement in the prairie city of Edmonton, including the building of the al-Rashid mosque, which was the first mosque in Canada. The video also outlines the history of the Islamic civilizations going back to the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). It features interviews with Dr. Earle Waugh, Larry Shaben and Nashir Karmali.

The Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities, or ECMC, is an umbrella organization made up of 9 communities from the Edmonton Muslim community, including both Shia and Sunni groups, such as the Ismaili, Ithna'ashari and Canadian Islamic Centre. For more information, please see their website:
