Join Dr. Omar Suleiman & Shaykh Ammar Alshukry on After Hours! Over two decades have passed since 9/11. While Islamophobia persists, Muslims in the West have largely withstood the adversity of a sharp rise in anti-Muslim sentiment. After Hours explores the past and present of dawah in the West. How do we shape our approach to Da’wah over the coming 20 years? What can we learn from the past, what should we do differently, and what must remain at the center of our efforts moving forward?

"The Muslim spiritual middle class is shrinking." | Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda
What questions were Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda and his team keen on addressing in founding Qalam Institute and envisioning a sustainable Islamic institution of higher learning? How do we build institutions that don't become victims of 'the algorithm', and how is the American Muslim community changing over time?
We ask Allah SWT to have mercy on the father of Sh Abdul Nasir, Abdul Hamid Jangda, who passed away this past week. He was a founding pioneer in the greater Dallas Muslim community and an integral part of building the current Dallas Muslim community.
