Help Establish Endowed Islamic Chair at SJSU

Sunday, November 4 | 6:00 pm | Chandni Restaurant, 5748 Mowry School Road, Newark

Dr. Mohammad Qayoumi, President of SJSU, is leading this effort and needs the support of the American Muslim community to make it a reality. 

Sh. Hamza Yusuf has graciously agreed to be the Keynote speaker for this event we are hosting on Sunday, November 4th. 

The mission of this Islamic Studies program is to:

• Cultivate an understanding of Islam and its impact on world civilization. 
• Encourage an objective study/understanding of Muslims around the world. 
• Encourage mutual respect among members of academia and civil society to counter bigotry, misinformation and Islamophobia. 

To start this program at SJSU an initial funding of $1M is needed. The good news is that a Muslim Foundation on the East Coast has already donated $500,000 towards this Endowed Chair. So we just need another $500,000 to complete the initial funding. We are looking to invite 700 community members to the November 4th event and raise the remaining $500,000, Inshallah. By coming and supporting this very worthwhile cause, you will be supporting not only the present but future generations of American Muslims. 

Tickets: $25 per person Limited Seating (Childcare Provided)
