Muslim Unity is key for building a strong Muslim community. In light of that our current Biblio Collective series covers A Memorandum on Intrafaith Harmony in Islam by Shaykh Haydar Hubbullah. We have limited copies for purchase at Sacred Roots. You can purchase the book here if you are not in Chicago.
We invite people from all Muslim denominations to join us in exploring this short text. You are free to join in on the conversation even if you haven’t read the text!
May 14th Topics:
The Shīʿa and the Sunnah: Mutual Concepts and Related Issues I
The Issue of Excommunication (al-takfīr) and Accusing Others of Polytheism (al-shirk)
The Stance Towards the Companions (al-Ṣahābah) and the Mothers of the Believers (Ummuhāt al-Muʾminīn)
Distortion (al-taḥrīf) of the Noble Qurʾān and Denial of the Prophetic Tradition
The book is an invitation for reflection, study, and brotherhood-through-knowledge and good character. These are the fundamentals of religiosity and fraternity with those with whom you have intellectual disagreements.
We will meet in-person at Sacred Roots with a hybrid set-up - so our Zoom Participants across the country can join and engage virtually.

Book Description:
This humble book is an open memorandum to all the Muslims of the world, whether Shīʿa, Sunni, Ibāḍi, Ṣūfi, etc. It is a memorandum of love and affection, of brotherhood and amity, of truth and sincerity; a memorandum of laying the facts bare and exposing the truth. It is one of critiquing oneself and others, turning a new page, and defining the school of the Ahl al-Bayt (as) and their followers (the Twelver Shīʿa school). We aim to reveal in it the thoughts, investigation, responsibilities, aspirations, visions, concepts, and inferences that are held by the adherents of this faction. We will briefly summarize their beliefs, jurisprudence, methodologies, relationship with others, viewpoints, achievements, and historical responsibility.
