Themes: Moral fortitude, ethical courage, principled response to crisis, Islamic ethics in public life
The devastation we witness on our screens—foremost in Gaza—can leave us shaken, grieving, and asking not only what we can do, but also how we can carry ourselves in the face of such suffering.
Join us for a discussion with Dr. H.A. Hellyer, a prolific voice on contemporary crises in both media and policy circles. Dr. Hellyer draws on his extensive experience across leading academic institutions (Cambridge, Harvard) and policy organizations (Brookings, Carnegie) to explore how moral and spiritual frameworks within Islam can guide our response to conflict, injustice, and human suffering. He examines how the cultivation of personal integrity, steadfastness, and reflection can shape ethical action in turbulent times. Participants will engage with the ways Islamic teachings offer grounding, clarity, and courage for navigating both individual and collective responsibilities in moments of moral urgency.
