Event Costs for Dialogue with Dr. Shabir






Dear Supporter,

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh


The Quran reminds us again and again of the passing of time. The Quran says: "By Time, surely humankind is in a state of loss, except those who believe do good deeds, advice each other about the Truth, and advice each other to be patient". - (Quran 103:1-3).


With each passing year we draw closer to our meeting with our Creator. We need to take stock of what we have done to promote the message of our Creator before we return to Him.

With the help of Allah, for the first time ever, Dr. Shabir Ally (B.A. in Religious Studies, M.A. and Ph.D with specialization in Qur'anic Exegesis) is sharing a stage for an interfaith dialogue with Dr. John Dominic Crossan (D.D, Ph.D, elève titulaire de l'ecole biblique) of the Jesus Seminar Fame.

Entitled, "The Historicity of the Life of Jesus in the Gospels: An Interfaith Dialogue", the event is carded for April 5th, 2014. The costs for the event are valued at £2250. 


Your contribution can bring two of Islam's and Christianity's most exciting and relevant scholars of the present age, together on the same stage for the first time. Many people as a result will watch this live interaction and hear an intellectual Muslim presentation by Dr. Shabir for the first time, including Biblical Scholar, Dr. John Dominic Crossan. This will with a surety open many more opportunities to present Islam to people who are unaware of its beauty and truth and to the world at large (inshaAllaah - God Willing).


Please donate if you want to see this great opportunity take place.

Why a Dialogue between Dr. Crossan and Dr. Shabir?

"In answer to that, we should say that Christianity is quite diverse, and no one person can speak for all of Christianity. Any Christian scholar with whom we have a dialogue will probably have both supporters and detractors. Indeed, this has been my experience over the years."

"More to the point here, there is a concern that since Dr. Crossan is liberal in his criticism of the Bible, and he does not represent traditional Christian beliefs, he is not suitable for dialogue. But here again we should realise that Christians span a wide spectrum from ultra-liberal to ultra-conservative. Again, the solution is for us to have dialogues one after another with persons representing various shades of the full spectrum."

"In fact, I feel that Dr. Crossan represents many Christians today. Some of us Muslims tend to assume that Christians generally hold on to traditional views about Jesus. But you may be surprised to find that one important leader and scholar after another confesses that they no longer believe in some significant aspects of the tradition."
