Manage episode 337461074 series 3381433
In this episode of the Reading Muslims podcast, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC)'s director of education and communication, Khaled Al-Qazzaz, discusses MAC as both a place of knowledge transmission and producer of Islamic knowledge in Canada. Specifically, he begins by explaining the texts that centrally inspire and shape MAC's mission in the Canadian Muslim community, citing the Quran, hadith, and the writings of reformer Hassan al-Banna. These foundational texts form the basis of MAC's self-understanding and pedagogical vision, which is channelled into myriad organizational forms including MAC's own textual productions for various community-targeted initiatives. Elaborating on this output, Khaled discusses the impact of MAC's current textual projects and future directions.
