‘Agenda to change our condition’ is written by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf and Imam Zaid Shakir. It acts as a physical item of the “Zaytuna approach” of ‘trying to increase knowledge, increase education; Muslim education, Islamic education; and the idea of knowledge as a whole’. Studying Arabic, the word Ilm (knowledge) comes into mind, particularly when thinking of the background behind this book. I want to touch on the science of word derivations in the Arabic language to talk about Ilm.
