Ummatics Forums

The Ummatics Institute seeks to host a variety of forums with the aim of facilitating critical discourses on ummatic thought and practice.

These forums support the Institute’s broad goals by providing a unique dialogical space for scholars, experts, thought leaders, and community organizers to collectively address topics of importance to the Muslim Umma and its future. The first of these forums is the Ummatics Colloquium.

Ummatics Colloquium

The Ummatics Institute conducts a monthly colloquium to facilitate discussions among academics on a range of ummatics issues related to the essence of the Muslim Umma, as well as the means to achieve ummatic unity. Senior scholars are invited to engage with aspiring scholars, providing them with possible answers at times and sparking further questions for research and discussion at other times.
