2026-02-06 18:00 - 21:00 UTC
Join Dr. Yakoob Ahmed for a public talk and book launch hosted by Yunus Emre Enstitüsü – London and Ketebe Publishing UK on Friday, 6 February 2026, at 6:30 pm. This lecture explores history not as a static archive, but as a vital spiritual and intellectual tool that informs modern Muslim identity and faith.
Dr. Ahmed will discuss how the Qur’an and Islamic tradition use historical consciousness to shape moral imagination and collective responsibility. The talk addresses modern challenges like fragmented memory and proposes an approach that roots academic inquiry in tradition. Ultimately, the evening invites the public to view history as a living resource for identity and ethical judgment, concluding with an author book signing.
