On Sunday, 13 December, we return for the 13th Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Islamophobia, bringing together leading voices to confront the manifest challenges and implications of AI on Muslims’ lived experiences, with political and policy consequences.

As war and genocide continue in West Asia, Sahib Mustaqim Bleher challenges Muslims in the west: where exactly is their moral compass.

Sayyid Amjad Hussain discusses why Ahl al-Sunnah Remember al-Husayn رضي الله عنه — how the memory faded, and what it is for. Few wounds in the memory of this Ummah run as deep as Karbala. More than thirteen centuries have passed since al-Imam al-Husayn ibn ‘Ali رضي الله عنهما was killed on that plain, and still the believing heart tightens at the mention of it. He is remembered with love, with reverence, and with a grief that time has never quite healed.
