Ramadan #HistoricMuslimah #16: "Rabiah al Basra" | Today, Khateebah & Mu'adthinah Jessika Kenney enlightens us about the true nature of Rabiah al Basra, the famous Muslimah that is most known for re-introducing the concept of Love back into early Sufi Islamic teachings. Jessika shows us how the gendered way that Rabiah is usually mistranslated is very harsh; however, when one goes back to the original text, we see a much warmer depiction of Rabiah, one that is rooted in love and ecstatic joy. Jessika treats us with a beautiful recitation of the original Persian poetry of Farid Din Attar as he describes Rabiah in 'The Conference of the Birds.'

In this unique speech, Khateebah & Mu'adthinah Jessika Kenney delves into the many different understandings of the buraq, or shining steed, that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) rode on his Night Journey. She explores the more mystical and folklorish renditions of the buraq as a winged animal with a woman's head, to the more metaphysical and scientific theories of the buraq as electricity or light. At the end of her speech, Jessika treats us with an interactive singing performance in which she invites the audience to participate in chanting beautiful poetry in the background as she sings the main verses. // On the evening of May 10, 2019, The Women's Mosque of America held its fifth annual co-ed iftar & qiyam during the holy month of Ramadan, featuring all women speakers and a chance for the greater public to benefit from the spiritual insights of its Muslim women leaders.

May 2, 2014. This conference examines this period that includes not only aspects of cohesion and fracture but also renewal and reconstitution of the Persian-speaking world. The period from early modern to contemporary times features some of the defining moments in the lifespan and legacy of the Persian world. This was a period that witnessed immense interchange and connection at the height of the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal Empires. This was also a period marked by connections and contestations between the different peoples and places for whom engagement with Persian remained a crucial enterprise. Long-standing trans-regional currents and emergent local trends produced both broad similarities and stark contrasts regarding the role of Persian literary and cultural norms for different peoples and places. The participants -- Fatemeh Keshavarz, Kevin Schwartz, Amin Tarzi, Muriel Atkin, Wazhmah Osman, Pardis Minuchehr, Willem Floor and Corey Miller -- were asked to consider how connections and contestations around language, literature and culture helped define the shifting contours of the wide world of Persian at different moments and places.
