AsSalaam Alaikum

The month of Ramadan, the month of fasting is upon us.  This month, wherein from dawn to sunset, we, Muslims, fast from food, drink, and other worldly pleasures.  Let us be mindful of its virtues of Bodily and spiritual purity.  While fasting is mainly to bring us closer to Allah (Almighty G-d), the benefit of our fasting to the society is that it makes us more aware, conscious of the need to help those who are less fortunate than we are.  

So, what Muslims in American and throughout the world will be focusing on during Ramadan, the month of fasting is returning to our original nature and original excellence that’s seen in all human life when it comes from the mother.  All human life comes into the world upon a disposition of compassion, love, purity, truthfulness, caring for others, responding to the needs of others and free of criminal and inhuman behavior and attitudes.  This translates to obedience and mindfulness of the Creator, being conscious of the need to appreciate and respect both our fellow human being and the outer world as the creation of the Almighty.  And being conscious of and serving the needs of the less fortunate, homeless, refugees, the need for peace in our lives and in the world, social justice, liberty and equality, reducing and eliminating violence and abuse of all types and working for the betterment of mankind in society.

Supporting National Security, Interfaith alliances, Bi-Partisan efforts, and countering bigotry you are key to its ongoing success. WISE Up is a multi-faceted campaign aimed at promoting the authentic Muslim narrative of peace, compassion, diversity and civic engagement in America. At its core, WISE Up uses knowledge as the most powerful tool against all forms of extremism & hate and centers around a 400-page research and evidence-based report authored by 60 noted scholars, faith leaders, and public servants. In this resource, both Muslim and non-Muslim experts have provided their expertise on practical ways to counter extremism, hate, bigotry, and terrorism committed in the name of Islam by groups like ISIS.

The Summit will begin with a Press Conference. Our purpose is to call special attention to this non-partisan, community-led collaboration between scholars, community leaders and activists from diverse ideologies and national origins, who have come together to transform American Muslim life, strengthen our national unity, and amplify our voice.

The Summit sessions will include round table discussions among the contributors of the WISE Up Report which will be moderated by a media personality and structured around three modules of WISE Up report as listed below. The sessions will be live streamed via web.
