About our speaker:

Khalis Rashaad has served the Muslim community in a teaching capacity for thirty years. He is the Imam (spiritual director and community guide) of Ibrahim Center in Houston Texas. His current studies with his teachers consist of theology, jurisprudence, and spirituality. His teaching style focuses on empowering others to engage with the Islamic tradition and apply it in their lives in a practical way. Khalis explores real-world applications of God's law with a commitment to solving issues relevant to western believers whilst also educating the Muslim and non-Muslim public alike on the religion of Abraham (millat Ibrahim). He likes to connect grand religious ideas with our messy human reality and articulate theological points of view to challenge and deepen our thinking.

He is deeply interested in how faith can practically and constructively speak to western believers' social, political, and ethical interactions today. Similar to other teachers and scholars, Khalis holds certificates
